Old style wood flooring is extremely popular with people from all walks of life who are seeking to create a whole range of different interiors. And with its look that suggests it has already lived a long and exciting life, it’s easy to see why old style wood flooring is so very popular.
At Wood and Beyond we pride ourselves on the ideas we share with our clients so they can get a whole lot more from their interior investments. And following a period when lots of clients are seeking old style wood flooring guidance, we’ve decided to put our heads together to come up with our Top 5 Options. Here they are:
There is no doubt that reclaimed wood flooring is one of the best options for achieving that ‘old style’ look. At Wood and Beyond we have a range of reclaimed wood flooring that you can find here. Available in black and brown there truly is an option for every setting. If you want dark and classic, then the black solution is hard to beat, but if you want a laid back and relaxed old style, then the brown is perfect. Even by looking really closely at these engineered wood flooring solutions, you’d be forgiven for thinking that they’d been aged naturally and not by man. They really do have a convincingly old look to them. The other great thing about these wood floors is that their finish comes complete with a UV filter, so no matter how much natural sunlight your room is exposed to, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your floor is protected.
Drift wood flooring is really popular with anyone who wants a nice, light feel to their floor but at the same time wants it to have an authentic old style. Drift wood, as the name suggests is wood that’s been washed up on the beach and left in the heat of the sun to age and fade. In order to achieve an old style drift wood look for your flooring, we have two great options. The first is natural engineered oak that has been brushed and white oiled. The second is flooring that has gone through a similar treatment but that has been lacquered rather than oiled. Both of these floors will give you the drift wood look in your room – the first with a more natural, matt finish to it, the second with a tough lacquered finish that will stand up to whatever your lifestyle throws at it. And finally, don’t be fearful that these floors are so light – they really are easy to maintain!
Farmhouse wood flooring is a really popular old style, even for people who have new properties and are looking for something just a little bit different. Many farmhouses were originally floored with rustic grade wood flooring because it was the cheapest at the time. As any regular reader of this blog will know, when wood is lumbered, it is graded according to its look and its sap content into one of four different grades: prime, select, natural and rustic. The main characteristic of rustic grade wood is that it normally features lots of interesting knots. When you choose rustic grade wood flooring you get the farmhouse look without any further a-do. And the likes of this rustic engineered oak Tintoretto brushed and UV oiled wood flooring will give you a really light and airy farmhouse look without breaking the bank.
If you want a rustic look but would like a slightly darker shade, then this rustic engineered oak vintage canal grande brushed UV oiled solution is likely to tick all your boxes. A really interesting variation on old style flooring it really does look as if it has been recovered from a canal-side boating lodge!

With one brushed and UV lacquered and the other brushed and UV oiled, you really can’t go wrong with this choice. In their warm, natural honey tones, both of these wood flooring solutions will provide the perfect backdrop for any old style setting you’re hoping to create.
