THREE NEW WAYS WITH WOOD

There’s an ever-widening world of possibilities when it comes to wooden floors

1 The ‘Grandpattern’ by Dinesen sees the Danish brand put its own twist on classic herringbone, with extra-wide oak or Douglas fir planks dyed deep black. From £50 per square metre (dinesen.com).

2 ‘Oak Surface Plane Chevron’ by Ecora shows off the new and reclaimed flooring specialist’s planing technique that allows the oak to display some of its naturally coarse grain. From £139.85 per square metre (ecora.co.uk).

3 ‘Square’ by Ted Todd is a subtly unconventional alternative to planks. Known for its historic parquet patterns, Ted Todd’s contemporary collections are always guaranteed to turn heads. From £59.75 per square metre (tedtodd.co.uk).
