Bestwood: The Valley View Home

Nestled in the hills of Holladay, Utah, USA, this home is the perfect blend of modern and historic elements. It’s a bright family home filled with sentimental pieces and a calming and relaxed feel. The real showstopper here is dreamy, timeless wooden flooring that ties the entire home together in true style.

This special residence is highly influenced by a collection of antiques from Marianne’s grandparents. Although the home is sophisticated and beautiful, Marianne still wanted it to be a comfortable place for her three young girls. To help achieve this balance, she utilized comfortable textiles and kid-friendly surfaces throughout the home.

Let the floors do the talking…

Sophisticated flooring sets the tone in every room of this house. The finish: Ideal in 80 x 480 mm herringbone as well as 80 mm plank flooring crafted by renowned Dutch artisans @Hakwood, exclusively available to South African architects, designers and discerning private clients via Bestwood.

The warmth of the rich wood flooring adds to the charm and depth of this home, from the open plan living areas to the bedroom, bathroom and children’s rooms. The natural feel of timeless wood brings a classic and organic look.

The herringbone layout further creates a beautifully patterned finish. It brings character and interest to each space, from the floors up. Our eyes are naturally drawn down to take in the splendour of the flooring as it creates a seamless flow from one space to the next.

Modern and Bright

We also love the large windows and choice of light finishes that bring a modern and bright vibe to this family home. Natural light seeps in and the living spaces are subsequently well-lit and welcoming.

The bathroom too is a haven for relaxation. A beautiful freestanding tub is perfectly placed to take in the garden views from outside. Marble and metallic accents add that wow factor here.
