Behind The Boards: Interior Designer Kim Kneipp

Meet Kim Kneipp of Kim Kneipp Studio

Kim Kneipp is the Creative Director of award-winning Kim Kneipp Studio, a Melbourne-based interior design practice specialising in architecturally integrated residential, wellness and commercial environments. The studio creates spaces that feel intuitive, balanced and are deeply considered, positively influencing the way people live, work and connect.

Kim gathers inspiration from her natural environment and the beauty of tactile materials. She believes flooring plays an integral role in grounding a home, opting for a base that is timeless and enduring.

Why Royal Oak Floors?

Setting the tone of the home, each board tells a story.

How someone wants to live, the rhythms of their day and the experiences a space can support over time is crucial to Kim’s philosophy. A home should reflect the ambitions, lifestyle and personality of the people who reside within, hence our flooring has been an obvious choice for Kim.

In adoration of the imperfect nature of our European oak timber flooring, each board has its own personality, is organic in nature, and may weather overtime — something Kim’s team intentionally look for when specifying floorboards.

With an extensive palette of colours and finishes, our flooring complements the character and flair Kim’s team bring to a space.

“Flooring is a very sensory, connected material. It is the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning when you’ve got no socks on and when you come home and you take your shoes off. It very much sets the tone for what you want the feeling of the whole home to be.”
