In this cozy living room renovation in a Raleigh home, our client wanted flooring that would complement their beautiful wood-framed fireplace. We installed engineered hardwood with a rich, medium-brown finish that accentuates the warmth of the room while adding a sense of structure and style. Special care was taken around the fireplace hearth to ensure precise cuts and safe clearances, resulting in a polished, seamless look. The final effect is stunning — rustic elegance grounded in modern durability.
