BEFORE & AFTER: A Brighter Home in Papamoa Embracing Light and Space

Situated in Papamoa, the interior of this family home has been transformed beyond recognition. The once dark and dated space now shines with natural light, thanks to the thoughtful renovation undertaken by the homeowner, who chose our Majestic Desert Oak Light Natural Laminate Flooring to complete their project.

Before the renovation

The house originally featured dark carpets and mismatched curtains, making the rooms feel smaller and less inviting. The goal was to refresh these living spaces with a lighter, modern aesthetic that was also suitable for a busy family lifestyle.

AFTER: Original kitchen cabinets with updated oak accents, new rangehood and modern pendant lighting. The oak-look laminate floor adds warmth to the room.

Choosing the right floor

After considering various options, the homeowner selected our Majestic Desert Oak Light Natural Laminate Flooring which is one of our high-quality laminate floating floors by Quick Step. This choice brought a fresh perspective to the home with the natural oak-look tying in with the colour tones of the home.

AFTER: A modern dining space that's warm and inviting with natural colours that tie in beautifully with the oak-look laminate floor.

The details matter

The larger plank size of the Majestic laminate floor range also contributed to a sense of spaciousness, while the choice of plank direction and consistent flooring style, from the entrance into the kitchen-dining-lounge area, offered a seamless flow throughout the home. 

During the renovation, the kitchen was modified to keep the original cabinets, which the homeowner updated with oak handles, tying the room's design accents with the flooring for a consistent look and feel.

AFTER: The living room has become a light and airy space to enjoy. The space flows to the outdoor entertaining area and pool. Our high-quality laminate flooring is ideal for durability in sunlit and wet areas.

The completed project

The result is a home that feels refreshed and modern. The natural oak laminate provides a durable surface that stands up to the high-traffic flow from the connected outdoor areas, often basked in full-day sun, making it a practical choice for a busy New Zealand household.

AFTER: A modern, warm and inviting entranceway with seamless flow into the living areas.
