Well. This post has been a long time coming. But I am really pleased with the results so worth the wait I guess.
Some time ago I wrote about my plans for a new bedroom look with some moodboard ideas. The main plan was to change the flooring to Quick-Step hardwood as this has been my ambition for quite some time – but we also wanted to change the colours and decided to rebuild our wardrobe. In for a penny etc …
So we got in touch with our local installer Mark Hughes ( who we found on the Quick-Step website ) and he came and completed the job in just over a day. Shout out for Mark because he was excellent and I totally recommend him to customers in the East ! There are no before pictures I’m afraid as I really wasn’t keen on the carpet and just want to share my happiness with the new wooden flooring !
The feel of the flooring is very smooth which is nice on my feet first thing in the morning and I love the way the boards clicks together neatly. It’s hardwearing which is incredibly beneficial with two kids in the house.
If you didn’t know already Quick-Step also manufacture trend lead vinyl and laminate flooring – a lot to choose from and well worth checking out.
What do you think of the overall finish ? My aim was to lighten the room so opted for Natural Oak planks ( COM1450 ) as it’s a mid colour and the mirror also reflects light so it’s a nice natural light. We really wanted a serene space with calming hues. A place to retreat to and switch off.
Here’s a sneak peak inside the wardrobe. It’s much more organised than our cupboard before with designated shelves for shoes – and the hardwood flooring means that it’s easy to keep clean and dust free. I really enjoyed designing it.
Andy took this fab image of the bedroom through the mirror. It kind of sums how I feel about it.
Finally a place to chill where I can also do my yoga in the morning before the day starts … with a cup of mint tea.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the little your around the room. Do leave me a comment to let me know your thoughts.

In love with your wardrobes! You’ve used the space so well, the sliding doors and mirror are so great for creating space! I am also very jealous of how neat and lovely your clothes look inside, please tell me they are not like that all the time so I feel better about my wardrobe where clothes routinely share a hanger with 2 or 3 other items…
Thanks Vicky… Oh, don’t worry there are many hangers with several garments attached! :D xx
I really like it Lucy! Such a big thing being able to clean and dust easily- and I totally admire you for doing yoga every morning- goals!!
Thanks, Sus. Let’s see if I can keep it up! Glad you like the room X
Oh the new flooring is lovely Lucy. Quite similar to what I have in my new flat (although not in the bedroom) which was one of the selling points for me! Really love your arty photo in the heart mirror too :)
Thanks, Kate. I agree – a wood flooring is definitely a selling point. X
It looks beautiful, Lucy. What a calm and bright space. Lovely! x
It looks lovely – a really chilled out, relaxed space. Glad you found such a good fitter too, as that makes all the difference.
OMG and ‘wowee’…
Lucy, what a superb calm and pretty space in which to sleep. Your wardrobe looks so uncluttered and has reminded me that mine is long overdue a clear out! i would love to read more about your shoe collection too one day?
