St Andrews places the resident’s care, comfort, and well-being at the forefront of its mission. This commitment is shown in the thoughtful and sophisticated design, where every detail has been carefully chosen to foster a sense of tranquillity, security, and sophistication.
St. Andrews, Morar Living’s flagship home, epitomises the essence of luxury living. A principal element of this is the home’s consistent devotion to not only providing premium care but also prioritising the mental well-being of its residents. This is achieved through cutting-edge, futuristic, hotel-style amenities designed to enhance daily life and cultivate independence. These features are designed to be enjoyed not just by residents, but by their visitors and families as well, helping to create a home-like environment that strengthens the warm, inviting community spirit.
To ensure the luxurious feel, Morar Living took great care in their design approach, ensuring the home represents the exclusive quality of a 5-star living experience. This vision was brought to life with the experienced advice of Jenny Robertson, the home’s talented interior designer, whose considerate approach ensured every detail contributed to the home’s unparalleled style and comfort.
Jenny worked closely with danfloor to choose the perfect flooring for several principal areas within Morar @ St. Andrews. For the six luxury bedroom suites, the golf-inspired clubhouse bar, and the games room, Jenny opted for the Origin design from the Evolution Carpet Collection. In the home’s cinema room, she opted for Geo Form, also from the Evolution range. The collection’s innovative and on-trend nature made it a well-suited choice for these spaces. Origin fuses traditional elements with a modern flair, with its plaid designs creating warmth and sophistication while keeping a contemporary, stylish edge. This optimum equilibrium of character and modernity aligned seamlessly with the home’s luxurious and warm atmosphere. The Geo Form carpet in the cinema room served as a striking focus point, infusing the space with energy and vibrance. Its geometric pattern provided a dynamic component, adding a touch of life and intensifying the room’s overall atmosphere.
‘As an interior designer, it’s crucial to choose flooring that not only meets aesthetic standards but also aligns with the needs of the care industry. Danfloor is one of the few flooring manufacturers that offer a variety of patterns specifically designed to fit the distinctive requirements of care environments. Their considerate designs contribute to the functionality, comfort and style of the space, ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for residents, staff and visitors alike.’ explains Jenny.
Morar Living also values the sustainability efforts of danfloor. As a manufacturer, danfloor is hugely committed to reducing its environmental impact and operates with a prioritisation on sustainability. The company’s Eurofins and ISO certifications were particularly important to us, as they prove that danfloor’s products have undergone thorough assessments to meet the highest environmental standards and sustainability credentials.
Morar Living is deeply committed to designing a home that encompasses luxury, comfort, and a true sense of homeliness. Since the installation of danfloor carpets in numerous locations, we have noticed a massive improvement in the overall atmosphere. The carefully selected designs, combined with danfloor’s focus on sustainability and performance features, have improved the environment, contributing to a warmer, more ethical and inviting environment.
The danfloor collections also provide the following advantageous features:
• Extreme durability – The Evolution Collection boasts certification to British Standard classification 33, signifying its resilience for “Heavy Commercial Use.” This accreditation ensures its capability to endure substantial foot and wheeled traffic, as well as withstand rigorous commercial cleaning procedures.
• Antimicrobial yarn treatment –The Evolution Collection features Bi-Ome®, an advanced permanent antimicrobial treatment specifically crafted to eliminate harmful bacteria, including those responsible for infections such as MRSA and C. Diff.
• Spill safe – All of the selected carpets have an integral protective membrane, preventing liquid spills from penetrating through to the subfloor, reducing contamination, fungal growth, and unpleasant odours.
• Naturally Sound absorbent – Danfloor carpets exhibit excellent sound absorption characteristics, surpassing a 28dB reduction in sound impact levels. This contributes to the establishment of a “therapeutic environment,” fostering relaxation and effective communication for individuals within the space.
• Appearance Retention – Crafted from solution-dyed Nylon the Evolution Collection present a colourfast system that locks in vibrant hues. This ensures exceptional colour and light-fastness, maintaining their brilliance even when exposed to rigorous cleaning chemicals.
• Reduction in fall injuries – In contrast to hard surface floors, carpeting has been shown to decrease injuries resulting from trips and falls. Research indicates that older individuals exhibit greater gait speed and step length when walking on carpeted surfaces compared to vinyl.
