“Bring the roaring 20s to West London” Tinie Tempah
Our clients were two art-deco enthusiasts who wanted to add Gatsby glamour to their west London terrace. We crafted an Art Deco inspired high gloss walnut herringbone parquet with a distinctive oak tramline border. The project included the large reception rooms, three bedrooms including a walk in wardrobe, the hallway and landings. The stunning herringbone parquet floor compliments the client’s beautiful Art Deco furniture throughout the property.

The clients were drawn to a palette of gold accents and deep, rich tones, including warm browns and jade green, embracing a distinctly Art Deco aesthetic. Walnut is synonymous with this classic 1920s style, valued for its depth of colour and refined character. The lacquered finish enhances the richness of the timber, introducing a luxurious sheen reminiscent of ballroom glamour. Art Deco embraces bold geometric designs, and this rich walnut herringbone parquet with a high gloss finish perfectly captures that balance of pattern, colour and elegance.

Particular attention was given to setting out the floor, ensuring precise alignment and a symmetrical layout throughout. The walnut herringbone parquet was installed across the ground, first and second floors, creating a cohesive and continuous flow throughout the property. A distinctive oak tramline border continuously frames the parquet floor.

“Striking walnut and brass hallway” Tinie Tempah
The rich herringbone parquet floor colour gives the space a warm and characterful atmosphere.
The clients had a very specific requirement for a walnut herringbone parquet unusually without a bevelled edge to create a super flat effect. We arranged for this bespoke request directly with the factory. The blocks measured 70mm x 280mm and 15mm thick, manufactured with a square edge profile to create a super flat, seamless surface. This crisp finish enhances the precision of the pattern and delivers a luxurious, ballroom style effect, perfectly suited to the refined 1920s Art Deco aesthetic the clients wished to achieve.

“Bold, glamorous, curves, geometry, and high shine finishes.” Tinie Tempah
In keeping with the Art Deco aesthetic, the clients favoured a super gloss finish to enhance the richness and drama of the walnut. The floor was lacquered on site to achieve the desired depth of shine and refined, polished appearance. Applying a high gloss lacquer requires careful control of the environment, as it can be less forgiving in dusty conditions. Through meticulous preparation and attention to detail, we successfully managed these challenges to deliver a flawless, mirror-like finish.

“Meticulous craftsmanship”
This project incorporated tightly curved borders, requiring a high level of precision and craftsmanship. Each curve was carefully set out and formed to the millimetre, seamlessly connecting clean straight lines with perfectly shaped arches. The result was a refined interplay between structure and flow, achieved through meticulous attention to detail at every stage. Careful and consistent sanding was essential, particularly as the chosen high gloss lacquer would reveal even the slightest imperfection. The clients held exceptionally high standards, and from our initial meeting to final completion, the project was carefully planned to ensure every detail was executed exactly as intended.
