Castro Wood Floors: A Moody St Petersburg Home

In the heart of St Petersburg’s historical center, a bold, moody apartment interior is reinvented under the direction of Cartelle Design. Measuring less than 75 square metres, the small open plan home, featuring bold wooden flooring, was overhauled for a young couple.

The interior feels sleek and modern with a muted palette and bold statement finishes such as bulb chandeliers, custom cabinetry and remarkable wood flooring which gives the space a refined and elegant feel.

The beauty of solid wood flooring in a modern apartment of this nature is that it instantly increases the value of your home and helps sell it much faster. Homebuyers are not only attracted to the look and feel of wood flooring when they view a home, but they also know it is an investment worth preserving rather than replacing.

From a maintenance standpoint, wood floors are also easy to clean and to keep clean, unlike carpets that can harbour all forms of dust mites, fleas and parasites. Wood floors make things a lot easier on both allergy sufferers and pet owners. They also offer that extra little bonus to the health of our planet.

When paired with other wooden elements in a room, wooden flooring gives a home depth and a richness of tone that comes from nature. As evident in this stylish St Petersburg abode, the flooring adds a seamless designs style that ties into the overall look of the apartment.

We love the modern herringbone pattern that adds shape and colour to the floors of this contemporary space. The youthful homeowners picked out a sophisticated palette of sage green, smooth grey, and deep blue paintwork to complement the striking flooring and colour stylish wainscot panels and trims throughout this home.
