Interior design guide - Featured in UNO Mag

There is much to love about the dynamic duo of this Harrisons mother and daughter. Not only are they experts in the field of flooring but you can count on them to bring your vision a reality. With a passion for interior design, Sarah and Caitlin are the people you turn to when you need new flooring. As UNO Magazine says "...it’s their one-on-one approach, often working together in their desire to help people choose the right products, textures and colours for their homes".

Flooring is the backdrop and sets the tone for the rest of your home. When renovating or building new, it's important to think about what you need from your flooring. Durability, for kids and pets? But also you want to achieve a timeless look, perfect for interior styling and hosting friends and family.

We asked Sarah and Caitlin what you need to know when choosing your new flooring, plus a few of their personal faves!

It's important for people to actually sit down and think about what is important to them and assess who is living in the home (kids, pets etc). They have to know an approx budget so we can offer flooring options that work for them and their price range. Having some idea on colour, and what they would like the end result to look like would be ideal (pinterest is our best friend!!) - this gives us a bit of an idea on their vision.

Currently, neutral tones. People seem to be stepping back from dark greys. In laminate hard flooring - same sort of thing. People are wanting realistic oak kinds.

We both love wood throughout the whole house apart from the bedrooms, which we love a thick chunky loop in! Colours really vary depending what other furniture/wall colours etc.

We love the coastal beachy vibe. Having lived here for most of our lives it's just home and feels comfortable to us.

Our customers love it when they realise we're a mother/daughter team. It's fantastic to have the support of each other, we can bounce ideas off each other. We try to go out once a month which enables us to come up with new ways to interact with customers and a great way to keep each other motivated in this fast paced business. Sharing areas/installers has always been a benefit as we can support each other and the installer even if it's not our own job.

At Harrisons, we take pride in what we do. Everybody wants their home to be a beautiful expression of themselves, their family, their history, the way they like to live. Harrisons makes it wonderfully easy. We're the people you turn to when you're ready to make your house the home you've always wanted.
