Oak Herringbone Flooring with Curved Border in Seahouses

This project in Seahouses, Northumberland, involved the supply and installation of new oak herringbone flooring through the living areas and adjoining hallway.

A distinctive feature of the installation is the two-block border, which was designed to follow the long, sweeping curve of an existing wall rather than finishing against it with a conventional straight edge.

The oak flooring was sanded and finished on site using an ultra-matt lacquer, providing a consistent appearance across the herringbone pattern and bespoke border details.

The most distinctive feature of this installation is the bespoke two-block oak border following the long, sweeping curve of the existing timber-panelled wall.

Rather than interrupting the design with a straight edge, the border follows the natural curve of the wall, framing the herringbone pattern and maintaining a consistent appearance throughout the room.

The finished detail creates a seamless visual transition between the flooring and the property’s existing architectural features.

Following installation, the oak herringbone flooring and bespoke two-block border were sanded and finished on site using an ultra-matt lacquer.

The low-sheen finish provides a natural, understated appearance, allowing the grain and character of the oak to remain prominent.

The curved border and surrounding herringbone flooring were finished together, creating a consistent appearance throughout the installation.

The completed oak herringbone flooring brings together the living areas and adjoining hallway, with the two-block border providing a defined edge to the installation.

The sweeping curved border follows the existing timber-panelled wall, creating a distinctive feature that complements the character of the property.

The ultra-matt lacquer provides a subtle, low-sheen finish, allowing the natural colour and grain of the oak to remain prominent.
