MAKEOVER OF THE MONTH A PLACE TO THRIVE
Tarkett’s Human-Conscious flooring solutions have been used in the thoughtful transformation of Tyre Hill House – creating a welcoming space where families can heal and grow.
Nestled in Worcestershire, Tyre Hill House serves as a lifeline for care-experienced parents striving to build stable, safe futures for their children. As a specialist Family Assessment Centre, its mission is to equip families with the skills, confidence, and support they need to stay together and nurture their children over the long term.
With such a powerful purpose, it was essential that the redesign of Tyre Hill House not only met the emotional needs of its residents but also rose to the daily challenges faced by both families and staff. Thanks to the creative, yet conscious, vision of Elaine Lewis and the use of Tarkett’s Human-Conscious flooring solutions, the interiors were reimagined to make the space feel more inviting while remaining practical and sustainable.
A CREATIVE VISION CENTRED AROUND NATURE
The primary goal of the redesign was to create a welcoming and accessible environment where families could heal, grow, and feel supported throughout their assessments. Elaine Lewis, interior designer and ounder of Elaine Lewis Designs, approached the project with empathy and intention, ensuring that every decision reflected the centre’s values of honesty, respect, and compassion.
Central to Lewis’s vision was the creation of a tranquil, homely space 'rooted in nature,' making her collaboration with mural specialist Kate Bond essential. Bond’s bespoke, hand- painted artwork brought the calming beauty of the outdoors inside, softening the interiors and helping the space feel less institutional and more inviting.
Just as Tyre Hill House wanted to look the part, their commitment to sustainability was equally important. Recognising that the design choices should align with the centre’s core values, Tarkett’s eco-conscious flooring solutions became an integral

part of the redesign. Following their Human Conscious Design principles – a commitment to creating people and planet-friendly surfaces that protect current and future generations – Tarkett provided sustainably made LVT flooring and carpet tiles that mimicked the organic beauty, patterns and texture found in real wood and textiles.
TRANSFORMATION THROUGH MINDFUL MATERIAL CHOICES
The redesign of Tyre Hill House was guided by a commitment to creating a space that would meet not just emotional and practical, but also planetary needs. Every material provided by Tarkett was carefully selected to ensure it fulfilled its purpose, complemented the aesthetic, and minimised its environmental impact.
