THE WINNING FRONT ENTRANCE, STAIRS, HALLWAY & POWDER ROOM: Dylan & Keegan

Playful yet liveable, guests are greeted by a fun yellow front door and an eye-catching Anchorage floor runner as they enter Dylan & Keegan's front entrance & hallway. For the stairs, study and powder room, Dylan & Keegan have opted for a more pared-back look with a neutral palette, subtle pops of colour and plenty of black metal finishes.

On the floor in the front entrance, stairs and powder room is Quick-Step Majestic laminate in Desert Oak Brushed Dark Brown. Quick-Step Majestic's extra wide planks feature authentic rustic timber patterns while it's dark tone provides a fresh, contemporary look. On the floor in the study is Bremworth Armure carpet in Beeswax, a textured loop pile featuring a random array of loops for a sumptuous, luxurious look and feel.

Connie & Rach's Front Entrance, Stairs, Hallway & Powder Room

Connie and Rach's flooring steals the show in their front entrance and stairs! The pair have opened up the front entrance by inserting a glass window between the front door and stairwell, showcasing the striking staircase and making it the first feature seen by guests when they enter. The timber is illuminated in all its glory through the use of carefully considered strip lighting up the stairs.

Featured in the front entrance, on the stairs and in the powder room is Quick-Step Amato engineered timber in Pure Oak Extra Matt from Flooring Xtra. The feel of timber flooring in its finest form, Amato's extra matt finish gives a luscious natural look. On the landing is Bremworth Foss carpet in Leicester.

Meg & Dan's Front Entrance, Hallway, Stairs & Powder Room

A calm and understated front entrance introduces guests to Meg & Dan's home. Tucked around the corner is an impressive stairwell, featuring double length curtaining to showcase the spectacular ceiling height. The theme of green and natural wood is continued throughout these areas of the home, giving a sense of spaciousness, warmth and serenity.

On the floor is Quick-Step Impressive laminate in Soft Oak Natural. Quick-Step Impressive laminate has extra solid and hard wearing planks that look and feel exceptionally natural, for the look of a real timber floor at a fraction of the cost.

Tim & Arthur's Front Entrance, Stairs, Hallway & Powder Room

Simple and classic, Tim & Arthurs's front entrance, powder room, hallway & stairs feature Quick-Step Imperio engineered timber in Natural Heritage Oak Oiled. The extra-long and extra-wide planks breathe class and quality, highlighting the feel, authenticity and craftsmanship of real wood.
