We’re excited to share our collaboration with The Blocks, Andy and Deb from DNA of Design!
Located on the Gold Coast, House 2 has been transformed from a somewhat miss-matched home to a gorgeous wabi-sabi sanctuary with plenty of texture, calming neutral tones and contemporary shapes.
Incorporating the home’s beautiful forest surroundings, this renovation called for natural-look Engineered Oak Flooring across two levels of the property paired with 100% NZ wool carpet in the bedrooms—Supplied and installed by the experts from One Source Flooring, of course!

How One Source Flooring Helped Transform House 2
Engineered Oak Flooring
Classique Oak by Riverhill in colour, Natural
Andy and Deb were looking for a solution that not only suited the style of the home (neutrals and earthy tones), but also provided comfort underfoot. Classique Oak is inspired by nature and being engineered, provides designers with the opportunity to achieve a beautiful, natural look with the type of finish and texture you’d expect with real timber floors.
In House 2, the Engineered Oak flooring was installed throughout the living areas in both the lower and upper levels of the home as well as up the stairs and in the kitchen. To elevate the stairs and to complete the design in a way that this house truly deserves, the stair treads were finished with a brass insert—the perfect finishing touch.
Floor Preparation for Engineered Oak Flooring
With any flooring renovation, our team works hard to ensure that all our engineered planks are installed correctly—that includes ensuring that the subfloor is optimal. For House 2, this required some extra work grinding out bumps and feathering self-levelling compound. Found out more about our Floor Preparation Services by following the link below.
100% NZ Wool Carpet
Samurai by Bremworth in colour, Pyua
For the bedrooms, Andy and Deb selected a chunky loop carpet, Samurai by Bremworth in colour, Pyua. A 100% New Zealand wool carpet crafted by experts, Samurai has a unique structure and beautiful finish, making it a popular choice for Designers. Again, they went with soft, neutral tones, not only keeping the bedrooms cohesive with the rest of the home, but also bringing a relaxing sanctuary-type feel that every bedroom deserves.
What’s most impressive for us carpet lovers, is that Samurai comes in really long rolls. In the master bedroom [you’ll get to see this soon], a single roll was able to be used from the entry right through to their ensuite, ensuring no cuts of joins were visible as you take in the impressive size of the room. We’re so thrilled they chose us for their carpet supply and installation.
One Source Flooring Testimonial from Deb & Andy
We are thrilled with our experience working alongside One Source Flooring. This incredible company helped us transform House 02 for DNA of Design with its high quality, durable, and stylish flooring options.
We ended up choosing their Classique Oak Flooring in the gorgeous Natural Oak shade in several rooms in the home, including the study room, entryway, living room, dining area, kitchen, and mezzanine. The soft, organic tone of the panels and natural materials fit in perfectly with the wabi-sabi style of the home.
The Samurai Carpet in Pyua was another perfect choice for the bedrooms and media room, with its chunky loop structure that not only looks beautiful but feels amazing to walk on. Once again, its natural fibres blended with the natural vibes of the home, creating a cohesive look and feel. It’s also easy to clean and maintain, which is ideal for the wear and tear of everyday family life.
Overall, we cannot recommend One Source Flooring enough! Their products are truly exceptional and are backed by a wonderful team that exceeded our expectations in every way.
