Growing up in the 2 houses that I lived with my parents, there was always a wooden floor. For me good memories are attached to parquet and I believe it also the perfect manner to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

In the new house me and my boyfriend bought, there will also be a wooden floor in the living room. Underfloor heating, which our house is equipped with, and parquet can be a tricky combination but it is definitely possible.

The only dilemma is which style we are going to choose. I like light floors, but my boyfriend loves dark ones. My dream is to have herringbone wood flooring, preferably with wide floorboards. But will our budget allow this? I hope so.

June this year I was attending the H&M Home fall collection presentation and it was being held in a beautiful house in Amsterdam. The flooring was gorgeous: I would love to have this in my future home!
