Here at the International Design Guild, we believe that your flooring solutions should be a balanced blend of timelessly elegant and practical in style. That’s why we’ve partnered with designer Emily Morrow to create a new collection of beautiful hardwood floors that are both on trend and are protected against your everyday household messes.
The Emily Morrow Home Collection uses locally grown North American white oak in rift and quarter sawn hardwoods with pronounced medullary rays that appear lighter among the vertical growth rings. This sawing technique gives way to unique grain-patterns that can add character to any space.
The collection includes twelve exclusive styles available through all of our Louis A. Dabbieri retailers. These stunning styles include Atlas, Atlas Herringbone, Constellation, Constellation Herringbone, Universalis, Universalis Herringbone, Atocha, Celestial, Endeavor, Sojourn, Destination and Far & Away. All of these hardwood flooring styles are OMG Proof™ protected, meaning that any liquids that spill will remain on the surface of the hardwood (important for not seeping into the sub-board) until wiped away.
Below, we’ve highlighted four styles from this gorgeous line to give you better insight into the benefits and features of the hardwood collection.
Far & Away
This first gorgeous plank from the Emily Morrow Hardwood Collection is designed in a clean, light taupe. Far & Away can brighten a space with its freshly infused alternating gray style that blends a chic mod appearance with the traditional looks of darker woods. Featuring 7-inch wide planks with a five ply core, Far & Away has a signature tailored edge in microbevel. Each plank is protected with an invisible wet finish in a clean matte and can be installed anywhere throughout the home to elevates a sleek and modern appeal.
Universalis Herringbone
This rift and quarter white oak features smaller planks coming in six inches width. Constructed with a thick seven ply core that lends to tougher wear resistance, Universalis Herringbone’s edge profile also features a tailored edge with ultra microbevel. It’s scratch-resistant matte finish makes Universalis Herringbone the perfect pet-friendly flooring for any residential or commercial building. With its light blonde finish, the Universalis Herringbone works well to complement any home design trend no matter how traditional or contemporary.
Constellation
With striations of golden grey hues, Constellation planks can create a stunning visual focal point that will play brilliantly with your existing home decor. Available in six inch planks and featuring a seven ply core, this style of hardwood lends a more modern vibe to a space with its light tones. Constellation’s smooth matte finish brings about a sense of ease and relaxation as its simplicity lets the natural colors of the hardwood material take center stage.
Atlas
Designed in mid-tone browns with subtle copper notes, this Atlas plank will lend a warm, cheery look to any room in your home. With a sixth inch plank and a seven ply core structure, Atlas planks are also available in herringbone style for those looking to create more texture with design in their environment. As we see a trend switch over to medium-toned hardwoods, this Atlas plank is sure to be in high demand. When looking to complement medium-toned hardwoods, keep in mind that these hues marry well with warmer gold and peachy colors.
