Herringbone

Herringbone is a classic choice which has been used in our homes for hundreds of years. It’s only recently that it’s come back into fashion and we can certainly see it being a must have this summer.Solid wood not only offers us style and beauty, but also has impressive durability and is likely to outlive even the person who laid it. This makes it the perfect choice for rooms that see high foot traffic such as the hallway and living room.

Herringbone is the perfect choice if you’re really wanting to add luxury and class to your home. The gorgeous plank arrangement offers a fresh premise and will really give the wow factor to any visitors. Whether you decide to go for a dark walnut wood or a gentle oak, herringbone always exceeds expectations.

Dark Wood

A daring choice but a striking and fashionable one at that. Not only does dark wood such as walnut have its own unique charisma and beauty but it’s also more practical than a lighter coloured floor, due to it being good at hiding extra grime.

Its richness is ideal for those who are wanting to add a touch of class and something from a bygone era to their homes, as well as perfect for bringing proportion to larger spaces.

However, don’t feel that you’re restricted to a traditional interior with dark wood, it comes in many grades and finishes, with some options having minimal knots, boasting a clean contemporary feel. It’s certainly a very versatile choice!

Grey

If you can’t make your mind up on whether you prefer a light or darker wood, then why not consider grey? Although not a traditional choice, grey flooring has emerged as one of the most popular flooring colour choices in the last decade or so. Its neutral yet stylish premise means it goes well with all sort of décor themes and you won’t need to worry if you do decide to change things around.

If you’re looking at grey wood, then there’s a whole range of options when it comes to variation. The grey shows off natural imperfections such as knots and grains beautifully and equally looks fantastic if it’s a little plainer. Why not pair this trend with our other summer trends and get grey herringbone, you’ll be at the height of fashion!
