In the heart of Richmond, London, TW9, a discerning homeowner embarked on a mission. This wasn’t just any mission; it was an endeavour to breathe life into their splendid Georgian property while seamlessly merging historical allure with contemporary opulence. To achieve this delicate balance, they enlisted the mastery of 3 Oak Wood Flooring.
The Vision: A Portal to the Past
- Evoking Bygone Elegance: Central to their vision was an aged w ood floor that would not only resonate with the Georgian architectural nuances but also serve as a tangible link to the past. They aspired for a floor that whispered tales of grace from yesteryears.
- The Rustic Charm: This led to the selection of a flooring solution that perfectly encapsulated the essence of age and beauty—an aged wood floor adorned with visible distress marks and enriched with a deep patina, mirroring the raw magnificence of reclaimed timber.
The Georgian Canvas: Melding Grandeur with Detail
- Herringbone Majesty: The sprawling rooms and open layouts of the Georgian house painted a picture of sheer magnificence. To elevate this regal ambiance, a herringbone pattern was chosen. This intricate layout, crafted using parquet blocks of a generous 90 mm x 400 mm, not only heightened the home’s historic charm but also underscored the owner’s fervent commitment to authenticity and precision.
- Craftsmanship & Technique: Achieving the envisioned antiquated allure wasn’t a mere choice of wood; it was an art. The chosen wood underwent rigorous hand-finishing using age-old methods. At the heart of this transformation was the traditional practice of smoking the wood, a technique that imbues the timber with profound character, multidimensionality, and a vintage appeal.

It’s a harmonious blend of the warmth and history of eras gone by, flawlessly aligned with the Georgian architectural spirit.
