Black and white wood flooring have really made their mark on interiors of late. A truly bold statement, it’s not everyone that has the courage to go ‘all out’ monochrome however. If you’re someone who’s wary of being so bold as to go all out black or white in your home, a great middle ground that needn’t mean any sort of compromise on any front is grey wood flooring. And if you’re not a fan of grey, today’s the day to think again. Grey flooring in all its forms can add a really stunning twist to every interior and grey washed hardwood flooring in particular could add a real something different to your renovation or construction project.
White washed hardwood flooring is a notion that most people are familiar with. Dating back almost a century, white washing flooring involved the use of a low cost mix of slaked lime and chalk to coat floor boards. Recognised as a way of making ancient floors appear more hygienic, the characteristic look of white washing is that it looks a bit distressed and aged, even though it may well be a brand new floor.
When it comes to grey washed hardwood floor, the look isn’t all that different to traditional white washed flooring, it’s just a case of it boasting a slightly different colour. With an almost pearly look, grey washed floors range from extremely light and airy to a deeper, more true grey colour.
If you’re planning a new floor for your lounge, dining room or bedroom and want something modern and fresh, but don’t want to dive into a jet black or a brilliant white option, then we have the perfect solution. These Engineered Oak Spring Grey flooring have a superb grey washed effect and would be the ideal sort of flooring to either run throughout the home or to feature in lounges, dining rooms and bedrooms.
With a look that says warmth, class and modern all rolled into one, this grey washed floor is guaranteed not to date and not to look out of place in even a couple of decades. What’s more it’s currently on offer with 55% off, so all we can say at this point is “what are you waiting for?”!
Bathrooms and kitchens can be a real challenge for wood floors, but if you make your choice wisely, there’s no reason whatsoever why you can’t enjoy a great grey washed hardwood floor in either of these rooms in your home. The key to getting your wood flooring choice right in your bathroom or in your kitchen is to always choose engineered wood flooring. The reason for this is that the structure of engineered wood flooring boards is such that they simply don’t expand and contract like solid wood when temperatures and moisture levels go up and down. The second thing to look for, particularly if you’re worried about spills and splashes is a click system floor.
Click system flooring isn’t only easy to install, it also offers a really watertight surface because the bonds between each board are reassuringly tight. If we were put under pressure to choose one of our seven grey washed click system flooring options, we’d really struggle because they’re all so stunningly good looking and such great value.
Hallways in most of our homes get a really tough time. In households where there is a family and perhaps even a dog, it’s the hall that gets the rough end of the footfall stick every time. While you can help reduce the wear and tear on your hall floor by investing in good quality doormats inside and out, and if you’re brave, having a no shoes policy, you still need to have a floor that will stand up to what your life throws at it.
These Engineered Oak Sahara Grey floors are a great option if you have either heavy or high footfall in your hall. Why? Because it has been lacquered, which means that it will stand up to a fair amount of rough handling and the UV filter means it won’t fade with the sun, but more than that…because it has been brushed, it has an open look to the grain which means that it’ll camouflage scuffs and stains more effectively than a flooring solution that has a highly regular surface.
