Why Grey Is The New Black In Wood Flooring

Not so very long ago if you wanted a wood floor, it had to be wood coloured. Wood coloured might have been light, dark or mid, but either way it was definitely going to be a shade of brown. Those days have now gone and you can find wood flooring in pretty much any colour you want.

In the past few years, black and white wood flooring have grown immensely in popularity. Enabling a true monochrome look that lends itself to the introduction of bold colours or a touch of grey or taupe, monochrome wood flooring is really attractive.

However, many people are frightened of plumping for white wood flooring because they imagine they’ll end up running around with a mop all the time, so they plump for black wood flooring in the hope that it’ll hide the dirt. While black wood flooring is a stunning flooring solution, not everyone has the confidence to go this far. This might be because they think they’ll tire of it or that it might look outdated in a short period of time. Either way there is a perfect half-way house that you can choose.

Grey wood flooring is a relatively new kid on the block and is the ideal wood flooring solution for anyone who’s wary of white or frightened by black. Yes, grey wood flooring is the new black!

Available in a whole range of shade and finish options, at Wood and Beyond we have what we believe to be a stunning range of grey wood flooring. Here are some of our favourites:
