This blog will cover interior design much more extensively, including design ideas, current interior trends and design news. Think of it as a huge addition to this web site, which will still be updated regularly with information on current trends.
When a new product is offered designer's minds immediately start turning over imagining how the material might be used, and what effect it will have on the feel of the home. Where do our design team draw their inspiration from?

A carefully selected floor is key to any room when building or renovating a home. Timber flooring is becoming increasingly popular due to its many benefits including aesthetic beauty, durability, numerous health merits and range of Australian species to suit any interior design.
Timber is a versatile flooring product lending itself to a range of patterns and widths, helping to achieve an individual aesthetic for the home. As a natural resource, no two boards are exactly alike resulting in unique characteristics for each project. With a range of natural hues including light creams, pale yellows, soft pinks, honey browns and rich reds, timber flooring can bring a touch of nature into the home to create a homely environment.
Timber flooring is also extremely durable and can be sanded and refinished after a period of wear and tear, restoring it to its original condition and making it a long term investment.
Light timber shades mean that dust and marks are less likely to show up, resulting in less cleaning for those with a busy lifestyle. Timber flooring is also one of the healthiest floor coverings available as it doesn’t harbour dust mites, pollen, pet hair and other allergens.
The Boral Silkwood hardwood timber flooring range is suitable for single level and multi-level houses, large or small. This engineered hardwood flooring range can be ’floated’ or glued over a variety of level, solid and dry subfloors including concrete slabs, plywood, tiles or existing timber floors. A pre-finished coating means no sanding or finishing, allowing access to the new floor only a few hours after installation. The Boral Silkwood range features nine stunning Australian hardwood species and its clear coating highlights the natural features and colours of the timbers which range from light creams and yellows to rich browns and reds.
Homeowners can also be assured that Boral Timber’s products are sourced from sustainably managed and legal sources. Boral Timber has achieved Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) Chain of Custody certification for all its products. AFS is the largest Australian forestry certification scheme and the only certification that meets Australian Standard AS 4708-2007. It is dedicated to supporting good forestry practices with sustainable management.
