Hampstead apartment - engineered oak floor

The owners of this stylish apartment in Hampstead wanted a dark high gloss statement floor throughout. They opted for this engineered oak floor that has been smoked rather than coloured, giving the timber its rich brown, conker like hues. The high gloss factory finish reflects the natural bright light emanating from the large arched windows and bounces it across the bright white walls of the apartments monochrome interior. Choosing a dark colour in a relatively small space is a brave move, but can be an effective way of creating a visually dramatic look.
