What is aged hardwood flooring?
Aged hardwood flooring refers to new timber that has been specifically processed to emulate the look of old wood. The Antique collection achieves this through deep colouring, distressing, and detailing to create old-looking hardwood floors that have the stability of modern engineered flooring.
Where should I use dark wooden flooring?
Dark wooden flooring is best used in spaces where you want to create drama, intimacy, and tradition. It is particularly effective as dark wooden flooring in a living room or dining room options, as it provides a luxurious and grounded foundation for maximalist interior design.
Will dark floors make room smaller?
Dark floors do tend to absorb light, which can create the illusion that a small room is more cosy. However, this effect can be managed or even reversed by pairing dark wooden flooring with light or white walls or by using natural light or light fixtures and furnishing to brighten up the space. The dark oak flooring in the Antique collection often makes a room feel more cosy, intimate, and sophisticated.
