Probably the most overlooked aspect of interior design is creating a harmonious grouping of complementary spaces, rather than a collection of various rooms. One of the easiest ways to establish architectural consistency from room to room is with complementary floors, cabinetry and millwork. Here's how:

One way is to use the same hardwood throughout the house for the floors, cabinetry, molding and millwork accents. Consistent use of hardwood can create both a visual and physical flow throughout the home.

In the past, choosing interior hardwood was a simple decision: oak or maple. Today, there is an appealing selection of "exotic" options available, including Australian Cypress, African Cameron and Brazilian Lyptus® hardwood, among others.

As the demand for hardwood grows, it's natural that an even wider variety would hit the market. And many homeowners are always searching for something unique that offers a different grain with deep, rich colors.

One relatively new option is Lyptus® solid hardwood that comes from a Eucalyptus hybrid grown on plantations. Lyptus® lumber features a beautiful grain making it a versatile hardwood that takes a wide range of stains and finishes evenly such as: walnut, cherry, mahogany or maple - depending on the finish material use.

Lyptus® hardwood - available as flooring or lumber for furniture, millwork, decorative plywood and cabinets - has generated enthusiasm among homeowners and professionals alike. Its versatility makes it easy to establish architectural consistency in a home. It is readily available and affordable and provides homeowners a beautiful new choice in hardwoods.

Lyptus® materials are a durable choice for any home, and industrial tests carried out in Europe and the United States have shown that it can be processed with the same tools and finishes as other hardwoods. In short, making the transition to Lyptus® products is easy for any builder.

Be certain to discuss upgrading your flooring, cabinetry and millwork options to versatile and durable Lyptus® hardwood. It could be the easiest way for you to connect your home's spaces.
