Mixed light hardwood with a matte finish

The Allure of Mixed Light Hardwood
Mixed light hardwood timber combines various light-coloured woods,  creating a beautifully varied yet cohesive look. The natural grain patterns and subtle colour variations add depth and visual interest to the floor, making it a standout feature without overwhelming the space. This type of flooring complements the Queensland workers cottage’s traditional features, such as high ceilings, VJ (vertical joint) walls, and large verandas.
The Benefits of a Matte Finish
A matte finish on hardwood flooring offers several advantages:
Sophisticated Appearance: Unlike high-gloss finishes, matte floors exude a more understated elegance. They reflect less light, which can help in creating a warm, inviting atmosphere that aligns perfectly with the cosy feel of a workers cottage.
Durability: Matte finishes tend to be more forgiving of scratches and wear compared to glossy finishes. This practical aspect is especially beneficial in a home where foot traffic and daily activities are common.
Low Maintenance: The subdued nature of matte finishes means they don’t show dust and fingerprints as prominently, making cleaning and upkeep easier.
