The Renaissance range used for this project has been heavily inspired by current interior design trends, following the revival of parquet flooring in both commercial and residential applications. Since its launch, the range has been a popular choice for many ‘trend-led’ commercial establishments such as restaurants and hotels, and now, most recently, the Abode Hotel Manchester refurbishment.
The Renaissance range features ten contemporary colours, including both natural wood tones, and more unusual finishes such as oiled, brushed and lacquered, being designed to combine durability and functionality to suit a wide range of design styles. The range’s versatility through both colour and finish means that the Abode Hotel was able to create a unique look that matched with the chosen furnishings and colour schemes used in the refurbishment.
There’s also the opportunity to create a bespoke look with the Renaissance collection as it allows for a mix and match of colours if desired, which really
reflects the traditional parquet style that was popular many centuries ago. Renaissance is also a perfect solution for properties with underfloor heating, making it an ideal option for both modern and traditional interiors.
One stunning feature of the Renaissance range, that has also become a popular attraction for interior designers, is that it also weathers over time to acquire a lovely patina that can add to the character of the flooring. This is a particularly popular feature for traditional spaces, but the range still works perfectly for modern applications as it can also be sanded down a number of times for clients who prefer the look of a new floor for years to come.
The Renaissance range was the perfect solution for the Abode Manchester Hotel due to its strikingly unique geometric style and high-quality finish, which added elegance and style to the space. This was a key focus for the Abode Hotel team who were hoping to achieve a stylised finish to their Manchester branch, and were surprised to see how much difference a high quality flooring could make to the entrance area.
Nikki McDougall, Sales Manager for the Abode Hotel Manchester said: “We are thrilled with the completed look and feel of our reception and restaurant areas. The Atkinson & Kirby flooring supplied

for the reception space has been a great addition and helped to add to the sense of luxury and quality that we are focused on achieving.”
Jennifer Bateman, Marketing Executive for Atkinson & Kirby said: “The Renaissance flooring supplied for the Abode Hotel Manchester refurbishment has added a stylish feel to the entrance space, and will be a noticeable addition for guests entering the hotel. Being an engineered product, this particular range will also offer excellent performance for years to come in this busy hotel setting.”
“As a British manufacturer, it is very important that Atkinson & Kirby stay on top of the latest design trends and are able to constantly offer the consumer market something new and unique to suit multiple styles.”
As well as a comprehensive product portfolio, Atkinson & Kirby also offers a ‘specials service’, which is available for clients who want a more bespoke option. The company also offers a matching service, whereby the exact colour and type of flooring can be matched, and turned around in a matter of weeks.
