Particularly attractive during the hot spell we’re having right now, there’s no reason why bleached wood flooring can’t be a really striking all-year-round solution for your interior.

When we talk about bleached wood flooring, the term is usually used to refer to wood flooring that looks as if it has been bleached by the sun, rather than the stuff we use to clean stubborn stains! A look that is associated with romantic desert islands that are surrounded by turquoise seas, a bleached wood floor suggests that you’re carefree and well travelled. So, no matter whether you’ve never stepped foot out of the UK or are completely obsessive about most things, you can send out some really strong messages to the contrary with bleached wood flooring.

An ideal backdrop for formal or informal settings, this style of flooring can be installed throughout the home and even over under floor heating if you make the right choices. The perfect solution for living rooms or bedrooms, there is no reason why you can’t have bleached wood flooring in kitchens and bathrooms if you opt for an engineered wood board.

As any regular readers of this blog will know, at Wood and Beyond we’re big fans of engineered wood flooring. There are plenty of reasons for this, but the most important are that it looks just like real wood yet is much more stable, which means that it has broader uses than solid wood flooring. The way engineered wood flooring boards are constructed mean that they expand and contract very little when temperature and moisture levels fluctuate. This means that even in challenging conditions, engineered wood flooring will barely bat an eyelid.

So if you’re thinking about a bleached wood flooring solution for your home, we’d strongly recommend you give engineered wood flooring a firm place on your shortlist. A great way to make small rooms look bigger thanks to the light it casts over your room, bleached wood flooring is perfect for small bathrooms, shower rooms and ensuites as well as for big, open plan spaces.
