FLOORING

QUORN STONE

WHAT WAS THE DESIGN BRIEF FOR THIS PROJECT ?
WHY DID THE CUSTOMER CHOOSE THIS PARTICULAR FLOOR TILE ?
In the city of St . Albans , the customer wanted this space to feel calm and inviting – a place to enjoy and relax as a family from the busyness of modern city life . The property had an old conservatory and separate dining and kitchen areas which felt very dark and enclosed . The design brief was to create an open plan feel , bringing in plenty of natural light and create a flow from the kitchen through to the garden .
The customer visited our Hertfordshire showroom wanting a practical tile with natural character , but one that would also complement the contemporary style they had in mind . Our Dijon tumbled limestone quickly became a favourite with its neutral tone , forgiving nature and suitability for inside and outside . The beige to grey tones and tumbled edge also soften the strong architecture of the modern crittall windows and floating corner bifolds .
