Landscaping Floors

Kim van Hoenselaar is fascinated by landscapes: “Naturally created landscapes flow over into one another in colour, texture and material,” she says. A floor should have the same qualities, she believes. After all, why should floors be any less interesting than any other part of the interior? Landscaping Floors brings function and aesthetics together. Kim’s hallway concept incorporates a clearly visible doormat in darker wood; her bathroom design allows wood to be used in wet areas, adding warmth to a space normally dominated by austere tiles; and her wooden flooring integrates layers of different wood veneers, each with its own grain, texture and tone.
