Our Bespoke Line

It has been said that the word ‘bespoke’ was first coined in 1607, although we may never know for sure. But throughout the ensuing decades and centuries, bespoke has evolved from its humble origins to mean something more. The term, which began its life as the verb bespeak in 1583, literally meant ‘to speak for something’.

Starting with French White Oak, reclaimed from the past or otherwise, the width of the plank, the custom stain and finish, the pattern—the choice is yours. No two floors are alike. This is only the beginning of the Bespoke Line, but as the unique opportunities may grow, the guiding principle will always remain the same—it’s designed with you in mind.

Because to speak for something also means to stand for something. Regardless of what is being created, Khayeri stands for unprecedented quality, craftsmanship and design. Khayeri continually strives to deliver the best, and is proud of what it does, while eagerly awaiting the next challenge.

Mesmerizing Stairs

blank

Each home has its unique architectural feature that makes it one of a kind, the only one for you. Staircases are often one of the key architectural elements of modern multi-storey homes. They are often used, not only as functional elements, but rather as focal centerpieces of the homes – centerpieces that could often be seen as jewels.

How do you take something functional and make it beautiful, a key design feature, the greatest work of art? Based on our experience of working with Toronto renowned interior designers and architects, this could easily be achieved by ensuring that the materials used on the staircase match the materials used on the flooring. Although, this sounds like an easy task, it is rather challenging in practice. The traditional approach is for the homeowner to choose the hardwood flooring and then order the staircase made out of wood in its original colour, unfinished. Once the hardwood flooring colour is chosen, the staircase will be then stained and finished on site to match the flooring. The issue with this approach is that wood is a natural product. Wood products with different finishes will react differently to natural elements such as sun exposure, oxidization, and overall normal wear and tear. As a result, a homeowner might eventually see discolouration as well as the difference in natural colours between the staircase and the floors.

Khayeri, armed with a wealth of experience from working on some of the most prominent custom homes, chooses a completely different approach. Since distinctive design is one of Khayeri’s core values, our team, when involved at the early stages of the project, can provide customized solutions towards the fabrication and cladding of any intricate staircase model. Khayeri custom fabrication accessories, including stairs and their various components, would be made from the same wood material as the selected flooring. Thus, in addition to their functional use, your stairs would reinforce the experience of visual movement through the space and reflect the design character of the overall interior from the ground up.

 

Modern or classic, straight or curved, Khayeri promises to deliver mesmerising stares at your stairs

Eternal, Mythical: The Story of French White Oak

blank

France is a leading player in European timber production. It has been managing its diversified forests for many centuries, both ecologically and economically. French forests are constantly expanding and at the center of it all is the French White Oak.

blank

French White Oak has stood as a symbol of strength for more than 2,000 years. Across the French countryside, they are like the monarchs of the forests, providing invaluable ecological support to all of their fellow subjects who dwell within their realm. It’s no surprise that for centuries, French White Oak has been harvested and transformed into everything from barns, which have withstood multiple lifetimes of harsh weather, to the hand-carved ornate furniture of the French royal family at Versailles.



Today, French White Oak is the choice of fine cabinet makers, joiners, renowned interior designers and architects. It is often used to create beautiful, high performance, hardwood flooring, ideal for high traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms and kitchens. It is similarly favoured as the centerpiece beam in period restorations, or to add charm to a new property. French White Oak is also very much in demand in wine barrel production, due to its density and stability, which preserves what’s held inside.



Speaking of preservation, France is a proud member of PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), the largest forest certification system worldwide, covering more than 300 million hectares of woodlands. During the last 50 years, French forests have increased by 35% while at the same time maintaining their biological diversity—providing real proof that sustainable forestation is indeed possible and can result in increased forest sizes, as it has in France.



Khayeri French White Oak flooring continues this proud tradition. Incredibly strong, yet quietly elegant, versatile and long-lasting, Khayeri French White Oak floor, when properly cared for, will last a lifetime—making it both a beautiful and ecologically sound choice.

The Ground Upon Which Holidays Stand

blank

What is it that makes holidays the spectacles that they are? What is it that brings us together in a spirit of generosity, friendship and altruism? It may seem plain enough, but the reason we all descend—or ascend—into childlike delight when the holidays come round is the very same thing that they are all about: family, and all the memories they bring with them.

You gather, exchange stories, recollect memories and plan for the future—it’s the same thing every year, but it’s always different. You open your home up to those who matter most in your life. You invite them in.

It is precisely this moment that Khayeri strives to capture, enhance and instill wonder in. The moment family arrives. Khayeri’s floors are a product of age-old beauty and delicate respect—an homage to where they come from. They are more than floors, they are centrepieces, like an ornate vase on a table or a profound work of art hanging off a wall. Khayeri’s floors bring their memories with them, memories of distant lands and ancient times. They are meant to inspire and add personality; be a talking point, adding warmth and bringing a home together.

Isn’t that what the holidays are all about? A celebration of times past and being together once again? It goes to show the level of thought that Khayeri puts into his products. His floors are more than ground you walk on. They are the foundations of a home. And home is the ground upon which holidays stand.

Project Feature: The Lakefront Cottage

Play Video

2019 had just begun – it was a week old – and our client knew what she wanted. She was undergoing a major gut renovation for her lakefront home: she had her vision and plans set out previously and had been to plenty of other flooring suppliers in the city but had not found the right floors that met her needs nor concerns. It was towards the end of that first week in 2019, when she was referred to Khayeri Flooring by one of the city’s prominent and renowned leading kitchen suppliers.

On her first visit to the showroom she had brought a sample of the kitchen cabinet that she had intended to use, her iPad Pro and her notebook filled with detailed notes, measurements and project execution timelines. Our client knew that in order for her to find the right hardwood floors for her project she has to provide as much details as possible. During the first 45 minutes of her visit, she patiently answered the Khayeri Flooring Showroom Consultant’s questions, at the end of which, two challenges became clear: the Design Challenge and the Durability Challenge.

The task was to modernize the lakefront home but keep certain elements intact to portray heritage and authenticity; to make the best of the view by incorporating the existing beautiful old trees into the design. Our client already had a vision of her kitchen in mind and was certain that the floors were equally as important in the grand scheme of design.

She was also fully conscious of the environmental challenges that the location of her home would present. Located on Balsam Lake, it being a water-front property, and the severity of the winters witnessed in that area, all gave her major concerns on how her floors would perform.

Khayeri’s solution was an understanding, innovative and insightful one. Choosing the Memories of Versailles’ 300 Year Old Reclaimed Series, with Baltic Marine Grade Birch for superior structural stability and dimensional integrity in the forces of expansion and contraction, and a manufacturing process that used Dry Kerning, Khayeri installed reclaimed French While Oak across the 2,300 sq. ft. of space. He followed it up with frequent inspection meetings to ensure site and sub-floor conditions met the internationally accepted standards.

Two challenges overcome with one product. That’s genius in design.

Project Feature: The Vineyard Farmhouse Residence

Married for 35 years, our clients turned a southern revival style vineyard farmhouse into their dream home – a lifestyle choice and massive project in which Khayeri was heavily involved. 300-year-old reclaimed wood from France laid the foundations of a home that was welcoming and warm, light and bright, adding a touch of nostalgia and a great deal of inspiration.

When asked how the couple, long time residents of the GTA, discovered Khayeri and why they chose them, their answer was a simple one: “there was no recommendation, or anything, we just did our own research and found Khayeri online. We liked the look of the floors… we met with Mehran personally and were very impressed. There was just something that drew us to those floors.”

It was this initial meeting that set the tone for future interactions. Both agreed that Khayeri was there “every step of the way.” “We were always in loop, they updated us regularly and we knew we were dealing with 300-year-old reclaimed wood from France, so it was a big deal getting it here. We always felt that we were up-to-date.”

blank

Khayeri flooring has long held the belief that the genius is in the design; the right process – what is known as the Khayeri Journey – is key to letting the wood speak for itself. Our inspiration is taken, maintained and left to roam free when its finally relocated. And our clients agree. When talking about why they chose the Khayeri floor they did, they said, “It was a no brainer, it’s like linen. It’s so versatile. It can take on so many different styles. And then there’s the therapeutic feel you get when you walk on it.”

Now complete, looking back at the Khayeri process, product and service, they have one thing to say: “Whenever we have people over, everyone comments on the floors — more than anything else in the house — they always compliment us on the floors. But you know what? Even if they didn’t, we wouldn’t care. We love these floors so much!”

This is the Khayeri difference. Helping turn a southern revival style vineyard farmhouse into a couple’s dream home, one plank of sustainable wood at a time.

Product Feature – Scandinavia: Copenhagen

blank

Copenhagen – Scandinavia as a whole – has a way of drawing you in. You spend a day there, then a week, then maybe two, and at the end of it you forget that you’re a tourist. For as long as you are allowed the pleasant reverie, you think of yourself as a local.

blank

Copenhagen is a tapestry of elements at once beautiful and functional: elegantly symmetrical historic palaces, thoughtfully designed modernist architecture, street side cafes and community-focused public spaces. Locals swim in the pristine waters of the city harbor, friends converse along benches – everybody seems to be smiling. And yet despite the energy and vibrancy, the beauty and livability, Mehran Khayeri keeps his eyes lowered, studying the ground beneath it all. This is his journey.

Enjoying an espresso and perfectly crusted sourdough bun, the minimalist ambiance of the cafes exposed brick walls, thin wood surfaces, and smooth beige flooring lends a pleasant sense of calm. Walking along the city’s perpetually curving streets, the stream of bricks along the floor bending like flowing water, Khayeri feels his thoughts – like himself – begin to drift comfortably. The simplistic environment has a powerful effect.

Deciding to lunch amongst the vibrancy and energy of the harbours of Nyhavn, Khayeri strolls along the boardwalk and is caught by the shimmering beauty of the brightly coloured townhouses across the canal being reflected in the water. It creates an impression both ethereal and expansive, one that sends his mind spinning with inspiration.

Inspired by his travels through Norway and Denmark, Khayeri brings the distinctly Scandinavian affinity for minimalism and functionality to his Memories of Scandinavia line. Demonstrating a uniquely seamless design with sanded smooth flooring and signature no beveling, this line creates an effortless sense of balance that is both timeless and beautiful. Combining the sophistication of wide plank flooring with lightly brushed colours and two-tone design, Scandinavian serenity reigns supreme here – laying the groundwork for a transitional or contemporary sleek home.

The design combines balanced, minimalistic style with practicality in typical Scandinavian fashion.
