A Day In Paris With Mehran Khayeri

how khayeri flooring is made

Absolutely floored

This interplay—between grandeur and homiest detail, romance and history—is sewn together with such conviction, it’s no wonder Paris is admired by so many. Beyond the wrought-iron tower, iconic triumphal arches, and hilltop landmarks, are convoluted streets brimming with cafés and scintillating conversations. Tiny round tables host one too many people. And though everyone spilling out from those tables is utterly chic, Mehran Khayeri can’t help but look beyond their fabulous outfits and shoes to notice the details in the ground supporting them.

With Wonder and excitement, he takes us on his journey through Paris.

8:00 AM

I am sitting outside East Side café in 10th arrondissement sipping on an espresso, enjoying a delicately flakey croissant. The chairs are still dewy from the overnight rain and the neighbourhood feels like a cozy village. I love to wake up early when I’m in Paris. I admire the tiles, glossy from the water, abounding with intricacies.

I go to The Palace of Versailles every time I come to France. On this trip, I am taken aback by The Hall of Mirrors. It’s not the hand-carved walls, elaborate domed ceilings or voluptuous chandeliers that have me mesmerized, it’s the pattern of the Chateau and Herringbone wood floors. Breathtaking. It’s these awe-inspiring details I will recall later, creating my Memories of Versailles line, and the Palace and Chateau collections.

For lunch, I visit Jacques Garcia at Hai Kai to review the latest Architectural Digest. I find myself distracted by the dizzying, graffiti-laden exterior and contrasting dainty interior of Hai Kai. The experience provokes visions of design inspiration and endless possibilities.

Jacques and I go for a walk around The Comptoir General Concept Store— a vast African-themed bar located in former sables overrun by lush plants, whose vintage decorations call to mind a cabinet of curiosity. The floors are composed of wide, refurbished wood planks. I’m in heaven.

I meet a couple of friends at Les Deux Abeilles, a sophisticated restaurant where thoughtfully inventive dishes operate like mini fireworks on your taste buds. The minimalist tomato Tarte with clam foam is anything but ordinary. For the first time today, I haven’t thought about flooring or design.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Brian Fox

We are very happy with our new floor. It looks great and is a central element in our renovation. The installers did an exceptional job, it looks perfect, and European Flooring has been responsive and available. Highly recommended.

Laura Fitzsimons

I love, love my new flooring from European Flooring Group. Their sample is true to colour. I checked out 20 other stores and they have the best quality flooring for the price. It is very chic and well worth the money. I bought more then I needed and Benoit was so gracious to deliver me a cheque for the returned boxes. Thanks Benoit for helping me with my purchase and I will definitely speak to others and recommend your product.

D Patel

European Flooring have great products. Although more expensive than what we had budgeted for, you definitely get what you pay for. The flooring looks fantastic and exceeded our expectations... money well spent. We dealt with Dean and he was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable about all their products and his advice on choice and installation was very valuable. Communication and follow-up is spot-on. You can't go wrong with choosing European Flooring.

Heet Makwana

European flooring has the most luxurious selection of hardwood flooring. One of our friends recommended that we visit the store. And we were more than pleased with the collections they have and their customer service. We spoke to the owner himself and he helped us with everything that we needed for our dream home. Highly recommend Khayeri flooring for people who don’t want to settle for less and believe in quality.

Mina Dalmia

Khayeri flooring group is one the best out there. We fell in love with their reclaimed collection from the memories of Versailles. The white oak wood is extremely smooth and beautiful. The team is very knowledgeable, and the best part is they offer installation services. This was a big deal for us. The entire process of installation went through smoothly. Me and my husband felt so relieved throughout the process because we trusted them. And without a doubt we know we made the right choice.

We looked at many places for engineering hardwood and we were so happy that we went with European flooring. They have a wide selection that can satisfy everyone's taste. Their customer service was amazing. Their flooring is beautiful and has made our place look perfect. Its not just the looks, it also feels amazing to walk on this floor. I would really recommend this company to everyone and I will assure you that you will not regret where you have spent your money.

John Margie and I renovated the kitchen in our condo earlier this year, which included replacing the floor. We met with Dean Wheeler and Mehran Khayeri at the European Flooring showroom while we were shopping around for floor options and we were very impressed with the beautiful products they offered.

Jane Kershaw

Our experience with European Flooring was excellent. We chose long, wide, square-edge, oil-finished ash planks for the contemporary look we envisioned on the main level of our lakefront new-build and from there, everything flowed seamlessly. These floors are among our favourite aspects of the completed project. We couldn't be more pleased.

Joe Mahmoud Joghtaei

As a luxury home builder I have used Khayeri Flooring and European Flooring for multiple projects in the past and when we decided to fully renovate our home they were our only choice. Their product lines have always looked great and trendy the products are extremely well made. They had a great line of products for us to choose from and we decided to go with their Memory of Versailles line.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I am floored by Khayeri flooring. Amazing selection of designer hardwood flooring. Real artistic integrity in their craft and the amount of compliments I get is the cherry on top!
