This contemporary bedroom setting looks amazing featuring the slightly wider grey boards. Running parallel to the longest wall, the positioning of the boards elongates the length of the room.

Tip: To really exaggerate the knots and grains go for wood flooring with a brushed and oiled finish and a wider plank width. The oil enhances the natural features whilst a wider board provides ample space to showcase the detail. If you do opt for oil-treated flooring do make sure that you are prepared to treat it when installed and then again annually to keep it looking it’s absolute best for longer.
