    A chevron style that’s both timeless and tough.

    When designing her new family home, Sarah Pickersgill-Brown wanted to incorporate practical family living with a Pinterest-worthy European aesthetic design.

    Sarah's approach to her home's interior focused on creating a modern yet inviting atmosphere through a mix of textures and warm elements. With children in the house, durability was a key consideration, and laminate flooring stood out as a practical choice. However, previous laminate options she had seen didn't meet her aesthetic standards, leading her to initially consider polished concrete. 

    It was during a visit to her local flooring store that she discovered Zenku Artec, a laminate option that perfectly blended visual appeal with enduring functionality.

    "We weren’t initially looking to use laminate as I assumed the product would look too fake. However when I was introduced to this particular laminate in the Flooring Room Nelson I couldn’t deny how realistic it looked and how practical of an option it was for our family life, so we swapped our original choice for the Woodland Lifestyle laminate.

    Zenku Artec is a highly durable laminate floor inspired by traditional French flooring designs. Abrasion-resistant and a waterproof surface, this range is suitable for both residential and commercial applications

    "It works perfectly with all the other design choices in the house. I love that the timber look adds warmth and the Chevron pattern gives another layer of texture, while the deeper colour wood tone grounds each space."
