Wood flooring 'instantly makes a room comfortable'

Wood flooring has been promoted as a fixture that can bring warmth to a room.

Writing for the National, columnist Stella Rosato hailed the fixture but noted the difficulty associated with obtaining it in the Middle East.

In the past, she claimed wood flooring was hard to come by, but following the "building boom", interiors materials from all over the world are now being stocked by local retailers.

"Wooden flooring instantly makes a room comfortable, and the variety of available types means there's one for every kind of interior, budget and climate, even the humid UAE," said Ms Rosato.

She spoke to Jacquie Mavian of Milroy interiors in Dubai, who reported seeing growing popularity of the trend and claimed wood flooring can imbue a property with a "homier ambience".

Property owners in the UAE should ensure they give their wood floors time to acclimatise to their house after the Arizona Daily Star reported on one high school that botched this process and was rewarded with breakages in the fixture.
