Bathrooms and floors in the Veronese hills

Wood flooring in the living area?

I must admit that there was a lot of discussion about how to floor the living area, in fact the clients had some concerns about laying parquet in this large environment that includes the kitchen and that would also host guests, but after viewing different types of wood and analyzing their characteristics we found the right solution that eliminated all their doubts!

Yes, but with a heat-treated wood

We are talking about a heat-treated oak floor with an intermediate color that matches neutral furnishings, a slightly knotted essence with color-matched filling that blends with the variations and grain patterns typical of this flooring, much more resistant than normal oak parquet.

This natural material that continues and runs through the different rooms of the house, entering the bathrooms and going up the stairs, gives a sense of coherence and unity that connects the living area to the sleeping area, although located on two different living floors.

Living area bathroom, the surfaces

Passing through the door completely clad in wood, we find ourselves inside the anteroom from which we glimpse the furnishings and coverings of the bathroom dedicated to this floor of the house.
In this bathroom we wanted to work with materials by using them as transversal surfaces: this concept allowed us to lay the heat-treated wood and the stone-effect porcelain stoneware both on the floor, as cladding, on the ceiling, in the shower tray but also to use it to create the shelf with integrated washbasin.

Which floor tile and which wall tile?

Following this design ideology, we create architectural elements that break away from the clear division between floor tiles and wall tiles, we go beyond this concept, now outdated, playing with materials that act as interchangeable surfaces and that thus involve multiple elements and spaces, giving a greater aesthetic impact and a coherent effect in the room.
We enhanced this concept with plasterboard volumes and well-designed lighting, to highlight changes in direction and combinations between different materials.

Large slabs that connect and contrast

We chose together with the clients large slabs for the shower background that would stand out from the other materials and stand out compared to the other textures: it is a marble effect with a deep blue background, with many veins in different shades of beige that recall wood and stone so as not to lose the thread of coherence that ties this bathroom environment together.

Two internal stairs, two materials

In this home two staircases have been arranged, which divide the floors and the areas of the house each dedicated to different daily functions, which we decided to use to further separate the levels by using two different materials to create the steps.

Stoneware staircase for the entrance

The first staircase we walk along welcomes us at the entrance and leads us to the entry of the house, we chose to cover it in stone-effect porcelain stoneware with a variegated and dynamic look that we have already seen in the living area bathroom, a natural surface with a light background but dotted with darker micro inclusions.
The client, during our visit a few months after moving in and starting to live in the spaces of her new home, tells us that this tile is really practical, easy to clean and that even entering with shoes from outside possible footprints are not visible, precisely because of its highly varied pattern.

Wood staircase, towards the sleeping area

Opening the front door we find ourselves facing another scenario, a dark and warm wood floor that we laid both in the open space of the living area and on the second floor, levels connected by two flights of steps covered with the same heat-treated parquet.

The warmth of the wood allows us to go upstairs barefoot towards the bedrooms, read here the in-depth article on the benefits: Walking barefoot on wood

Consistency also in the sleeping area

Lobster orange lacquer, black metal-effect porcelain stoneware, stainless steel details for this bathroom in the sleeping area in which our "binding elements", the stone effect and the oak, are not missing.
We wanted to bring back the stone-effect porcelain stoneware, with which the entrance stairs were covered and which becomes the protagonist in the living area bathroom, to create a frame that surrounds the shower and sanitary fixtures, involving the custom-made shower tray and the ceiling which also in this environment becomes an integral part of the cladding.

Color and metal effect for the two children

The heat-treated parquet from the bedrooms enters and floors the area of the suspended cabinet: a furnishing element that was desired by the children of our clients (for whom this bathroom is reserved) with an orange lacquer that stands out and two washbasin stations useful for using the water sources also simultaneously by the two children.
Here the concept of surface returns: the large slab black oxide-effect porcelain stoneware has been laid on the wall, acts as a backsplash behind the washbasins and has also been used as the top of the cabinet.
