As any regular reader of the Wood and Beyond blog will know, easy on the eye and versatile engineered wood parquet flooring is a relatively new kid on the block. Not so very long ago, if you wanted the luxury of parquet flooring, you’d have had to look for a craftsman with the skills to do the job and then be ready for him to spend a whole lot of time in your home. From planning the parquet pattern you want, to cutting the blocks and installing them – at one time such a process would have taken weeks to become a reality.
Thankfully this is no longer the case and you can enjoy versatile parquet flooring as quickly as any other engineered wood floor, thanks to engineered wood parquet flooring options like these.
As you see, you can choose from a huge range of engineered wood parquet flooring at a price that’ll surprise you. In fact, not only will you be surprised by the price, you’re likely to be astonished at how easy it is to create a great looking floor, that’s really different thanks to this truly versatile choice.
For example, you could choose this prime engineered oak herringbone brushed and unfinished floor if you want to go all out and add your own final finish to your floor. When you choose this option, you have the freedom to paint, stain, oil or lacquer your floor in your preferred style after it’s in place. And what’s more, when and if it starts looking tired, you can sand and refinish it in any way you fancy all over again. There are very few other flooring options (if any) that give you this sort of versatility.
Another great way of making the most of engineered wood parquet flooring is combining it with standard board wood flooring to create a really interesting effect.
You could, for example, create a border around your room with standard wood flooring board engineered floor and then fill the middle of your room with parquet flooring either in the same or a complimentary colour. The end result of this sort of planning can be really stunning. Although this isn’t something you’d probably tackle on a DIY basis, it is a great way of using this versatile flooring option to create real visual impact if planned properly and well done.
It pays to be brave with colour when you choose your parquet flooring. For example, you could choose a bright and light option like this one to give a really light, stylish and modern feel to your room. Or, on the other hand, you could plump for a dark and interesting finish like this one to create a feeling of stylish confidence.
No matter which colour you choose, this parquet style of engineered wood flooring will really soften the overall look of your room, thanks to the almost textured feel it exudes. While all wood flooring is textured close up, there is something about short boards running in opposite directions that is hard to beat when it comes to adding real interest and charm.
The whole thing about engineered wood parquet flooring is that you need to try to think outside the box to take full advantage of its versatility. It’s all too easy to exclude it because it’s simply something that you haven’t really considered before. But if you’re doing this we’d encourage you to think again. The real versatility of this solution makes it well worth the extra bit of time it might take you to plan to get right. At the end of the day, if you need help, simply get in touch in prior to ordering your flooring and we can give you ideas and help you plan the best way to bring your dreams to life.
Parquet really is a great way to create a stunning backdrop for your room and, in fact, if you have a covered outdoor area, you could even extend your flooring outside to bring the inside out and the outside in. Either way, we just know you won’t be disappointed.
