To the floor

Visually separating spaces can be achieved in the most subtle of ways. This project by interior designer Marta Castellano shows how a change in flooring can work to create a chic spatial division. While both the kitchen and dining room use similar sizes of reclaimed floorboards, switching up the laying pattern between the two breaks up the spaces.

The choice of whitewashing the parquet works well in this bright kitchen, but for an even more delicate and calm approach you could give both flooring areas the same natural or painted finish.
