FLOORS & FLOORING

RETRO RESURGENCE : THE PLIMSOL ROAD PROJECT BY HAVWOODS

Located in North London is this striking 70s-inspired home . Combining retro interiors with sci-fi accents , the large open plan living space was designed by Holloway Interior Architects and comprises a living room , kitchen diner , home office and the focal point – a freestanding bathtub at the end of the room .
A neutral base including limewashed plaster walls and light wooden furniture complements a bold and abstract colour palette of oranges and greens . The soft undertones of Havwoods ’ Douglas Fir Snow Select 300mm 1-Strip boards sit perfectly against the earthy tones , introducing light and a feeling of space into the home .
The tall ceilings and large windows result in an airy and inviting space , packed with character . In the living area , a dark red sofa and bright orange armchair pair beautifully with leather dining chairs and an earthy coloured tabletop . The wide planks which span the length of the property naturally elongate the space , allowing for a seamless flow from the living room into the kitchen .
The Chef-style stainless steel kitchen cabinetry provides an industrial edge , running from the floor up to the splashback and into the overhead cabinets . The soft flooring from Havwoods is a welcome contrast , adding warmth to the kitchen , whilst still naturally zoning the room .
The limewash walls continue into the home office , where a beautiful bathtub stands freely , positioned next to the window . The natural elements of the floorboards reflect the greenery in the houseplants , ceiling light and desk chair , adding welcome texture and a cosy feel to the home .
