A whole-home renovation is often won in the spaces between the hero shots.
In this entry, the staircase was reworked, and the surrounding layout opened to create a better flow through the home.
The existing red oak gave us the starting point. From there, we introduced a herringbone pattern with a darker wood inlay to define the entry and give the floor a little more presence.
It is a detail you might not notice immediately.
But you would absolutely notice if it were missing.
Because the best transitions do more than connect two rooms... They establish the language for the entire home.
