Content Creator @ourruralnest Transforms Home Study with Amtico Flooring

Amtico’s Shell Oak in Small Parquet laying pattern completes content creator’s dream study, blending timeless design with everyday practicality.

Content creator Danielle, also known as @ourruralnest on Instagram, is well-known for her elegant, English country-inspired interiors. Residing in a tranquil countryside house, Danielle shares her passion for interiors on social media through the renovation and styling of her home; recently transforming her home study through a collaboration with Amtico Flooring.

Wanting to replace carpet with a flooring that can withstand the demands of a busy home office, Danielle dreamed of a practical yet characterful renovation, in keeping with her country aesthetic, all while delivering long-lasting performance.



Danielle says, “In my experience, the flooring choice has a huge influence on how a space feels, both practically and aesthetically. So, I knew I wanted a floor that was hardwearing, easy- to-clean and attractive but also comfortable underfoot.”

Having already chosen Aged Oak from the Amtico Signature collection for her hallway, and Fawn Oak from the Amtico Form collection in her family bathroom, Danielle knew from experience the benefits of Amtico’s luxury vinyl tile (LVT). With its comforting warmth underfoot, compatibility with underfloor heating, durability, and its easy-to- clean properties, Danielle continues to use Amtico throughout her home.

Opting for neutral, sandy toned Shell Oak from the Amtico Form Collection, in Small Parquet laying pattern, Danielle created a serene home office by pairing muted, grounding, earthy green walls against a foundation of pale oak LVT flooring – the perfect combination to provide calm on a busy day. With Danielle commenting, “It created a more open and airy ambiance compared to the dull carpet that was in the room previously.”

Choosing a Small Parquet laying pattern was important to Danielle as its traditional design added depth and character, complimenting the country aesthetic of her home. As well as the colour, Shell Oak, being crucial to adding personality with its authentic raw oak tone, paired with authentic irregular grain balance which mirrors the details of natural wood.

Danielle says: “It feels incredible to have a workspace that is both practical and beautiful. I love walking into the study early in the morning and seeing the floor in the natural light, highlighting all of the soft oak tones in each tile. It feels like the flooring was made for this space and has always been here.” “Our Amtico flooring has added so much character to our study. It has given us all of the benefits of a wooden floor, but without the associated maintenance. It has meant that I no longer worry about bringing hot drinks into the study during the working day and I can also move my office chair around much more freely.”

Lorna Williams, Head of Product Design at Amtico says: “At Amtico, we believe that flooring is the foundation of every great interior in the home. Working alongside @ourruralnest allowed us to showcase how our collections can help to transform a room through elevated luxury design with practicality that aids modern-day living.”

For anyone planning on redesigning a study or work-from-home space, Danielle advises, “My top tip would be to use the space for a while before you make any firm design decisions. That way, you get to understand how you utilise your workspace – where you place your drink, how you organise your equipment and/or paperwork, as well as the amount of natural light the room gets. This will help you determine where to place things like desks and lamps and gives you time to consider what colours might work, including the flooring.”
