Custom Wood Flooring in Connecticut

A custom hardwood floor can become one of the defining architectural features of a home. Since 1976, I have created and worked with hardwood flooring for Connecticut homeowners who appreciate skilled craftsmanship, natural materials, and details that go beyond a standard flooring installation.

At M B Kubisek, I specialize in custom wood flooring designed around the individual home. My work includes wide plank floors, custom parquet, herringbone, medallions, decorative borders, and distinctive geometric designs. I also work with hardwood choices such as European oak and white oak to create floors suited to traditional, transitional, and contemporary interiors.

With 50 years of hardwood flooring experience, I understand that a successful custom floor requires more than choosing an attractive pattern. The proportions, layout, wood, room dimensions, and surrounding architecture all need to work together.

I approach every custom project individually, with the goal of creating a hardwood floor that feels as though it belongs in the home.

Hardwood Flooring Designed Specifically for Your Home

Custom wood flooring offers possibilities that standard flooring cannot always provide.

Instead of choosing only a wood species and plank width, you can consider how the flooring itself contributes to the architecture. Pattern, direction, borders, focal points, and transitions between spaces can all become part of the design.

I begin by considering the home.

Room dimensions can affect the scale of a pattern. Entrances and doorways influence how the flooring is viewed as you move through the property. Fireplaces, staircases, cabinetry, and other architectural elements can provide natural points around which a custom design can be organized.

The style of the property is equally important.

An elaborate geometric design may be appropriate for one home, while another interior may benefit from the understated character of wide plank white oak. A historic property may call for a traditional parquet pattern, while a renovated or contemporary home might be suited to European oak with clean proportions.



My goal is not to make every floor elaborate. It is to make each floor appropriate.

Custom Parquet Flooring

Parquet flooring provides an opportunity to combine the natural beauty of hardwood with carefully planned pattern and geometry.

Rather than relying on long boards installed in a single direction, parquet uses individual wood elements to create a repeated design. The result can range from classic and traditional to highly distinctive, depending on the pattern, wood, dimensions, and surrounding architecture.

I create custom parquet flooring with careful attention to proportion and placement.

The pattern needs to work with the dimensions of the room. Its center and direction should relate naturally to entrances and important architectural features. The scale of individual elements also affects whether the finished floor feels balanced within the space.

These details become particularly important in formal rooms, entrances, dining areas, and other spaces where the floor is intended to have a strong visual presence.



With custom parquet, the flooring becomes part of the home's design rather than simply a background surface.

Herringbone Hardwood Flooring

Herringbone is one of the most recognizable hardwood flooring patterns, and its lasting appeal comes from its ability to add movement and detail without losing a sense of order.

I install herringbone flooring for homeowners who want a more distinctive alternative to traditional plank layouts.

The pattern can complement many architectural styles. In a traditional property, herringbone can reinforce classic details and craftsmanship. In a contemporary interior, the geometry of the pattern can provide contrast against cleaner walls and furnishings.

Careful layout is essential.

The orientation and proportions of the herringbone pattern influence how the room feels. The flooring also needs to relate correctly to doorways, walls, adjoining spaces, and focal points.

I use my experience to consider these relationships before the design takes shape, helping the finished floor feel balanced within the room.

Wide Plank Custom Hardwood Floors

Custom flooring does not always require an intricate pattern.

For many homes, carefully selected wide plank hardwood provides exactly the right amount of character. Wider boards allow more of the wood's natural grain and variation to be visible, creating a substantial and refined appearance.

I work with wide plank flooring in materials including European oak and white oak.

The appropriate plank dimensions depend on the room, the property, and the desired style. Wide plank hardwood can complement historic inspired interiors, luxury renovations, coastal properties, and contemporary homes.

The direction of the flooring also matters, especially when wide plank floors extend through multiple rooms.



I consider how the boards will move visually through the property and how transitions should be handled so the floor feels continuous and intentional.

Hardwood Floor Borders and Medallions

Borders and medallions provide opportunities to introduce custom detail without using a complex pattern throughout an entire room.



A hardwood border can frame a space and give the flooring a more architectural appearance. It can also help define individual areas within a larger interior.

I design borders with the proportions of the room in mind. Their placement and scale need to relate to the surrounding floor rather than appearing as an unrelated decorative element.

Medallions can create a more concentrated focal point.

An entrance or foyer is often a natural location for a medallion because the design can establish a strong first impression as someone enters the home. Other prominent spaces may also benefit from a carefully positioned custom feature.

Whether the detail is subtle or elaborate, I focus on creating something that works with the surrounding hardwood and architecture.

Distinctive Geometric Hardwood Designs

Geometric wood flooring provides another way to create a truly individual floor.

These designs can use repetition, direction, contrast, and carefully arranged wood elements to produce a pattern that becomes an architectural feature in its own right.

I create geometric flooring with attention to the scale and character of the home.

A pattern should not simply look impressive when viewed on its own. It needs to make sense when installed across the actual dimensions of the room. Furniture placement, entrances, sight lines, and surrounding architectural details can all influence the way a geometric floor is experienced.

For homeowners seeking one of a kind hardwood flooring, these designs provide significant creative possibilities.

My nearly five decades of experience with hardwood allows me to approach detailed flooring from both a craftsmanship and design perspective.

European Oak and White Oak Custom Flooring

The wood selected for a custom floor has a major influence on the finished appearance.

White oak is a versatile hardwood with natural grain and character that can work across a broad range of interiors. It can be used for traditional plank flooring, wide plank installations, herringbone, parquet, and other custom layouts.

European oak is also particularly well suited to luxury and custom flooring. It can provide the natural character and proportions many homeowners are looking for when creating wide plank or architecturally focused interiors.

I consider the wood as part of the complete flooring design.

Species, plank dimensions, pattern, room proportions, and the style of the home should support one another. A beautiful material will have the greatest impact when it is used in a way that makes sense for the property.

Custom Flooring for Historic and Luxury Homes

Connecticut contains an exceptional variety of architecture, from historic homes to extensively renovated properties and modern luxury residences.

I have experience working with both historic wood floor preservation and new custom flooring, giving me an appreciation for the different approaches these properties can require.

In an older home, a custom floor may need to respect traditional proportions and established architectural details. In some situations, preserving an existing historic floor may be preferable to replacing it.

For a luxury renovation or newer home, custom flooring can provide an opportunity to establish a distinctive architectural identity from the beginning.

I do not approach these properties with a predetermined style. Instead, I consider what the home already offers and how the flooring can enhance it.
