Project location: Portland, OR
Materials used: Wicanders Novel Edge Cork Flooring
Project Overview
Are you tired of sacrificing comfort for style in your home’s design? At Rejuvenation Floor & Design, we believe you don’t have to choose between aesthetics and functionality. That’s why when our Portland client sought a comfortable, stylish flooring solution for their kitchen and dining area, we found the perfect fit: Cork Floors.
The Challenge: Finding an Organic, Comfortable Flooring Solution
Our client was looking for a floor that combined both comfort and a natural, organic aesthetic. Unsatisfied with typical luxury vinyl flooring, they were drawn to the unique charm and sustainable appeal of cork. After reviewing options, Wicanders Novel Edge Cork Flooring emerged as the ideal choice, offering durability, style, and eco-friendliness.
Why Cork Floors in the Kitchen and Dining Area?
- Comfort Underfoot: Cork flooring is celebrated for its natural elasticity, which provides a soft, cushioned surface ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens. Cork flooring adds an extra layer of comfort that’s gentle on joints, making long hours spent cooking or entertaining more enjoyable.
- Sophisticated Style: The elongated diamond pattern of Wicanders Novel Edge adds a distinctive, sophisticated touch to the space. Our client loved how the unique design complemented their existing hardwood in adjacent rooms, creating a smooth, cohesive transition between areas. This pattern not only adds visual interest but also brings an elevated aesthetic that enhances the home’s overall style.
- Environmentally Friendly Choice: Cork is one of the most sustainable flooring materials available, harvested from the renewable bark of cork oak trees. By choosing cork flooring for their kitchen and dining area, our client made an eco-conscious decision that aligns with their values, reducing environmental impact without sacrificing quality or beauty.
- Built to Last: Despite its soft feel, cork flooring is impressively durable. Cork flooring resists spills, stains, and the daily wear and tear of a busy kitchen. With routine maintenance, our client can expect their new floors to look beautiful for years to come, making it a wise investment in their home’s long-term value.
A Transformative Upgrade
Cork floors in the kitchen and dining area transformed our client's home into a cozy, stylish, and sustainable space that meets all their needs. The comfortable yet elegant cork brings warmth and character, seamlessly connecting the kitchen with the rest of the home.
