Messmate floorboards in an ebonised oak stain.

Prefinished in an array of stain colours, dark stained hardwood floorboards offer a no-fuss finish that's durable and affordable.

Do you frequently browse home design websites or flip through décor magazines? You'll notice that the latest interior design trends lean heavily toward dark hardwood floorboards and engineered timber floorboards. This type of stained timber flooring provides instant drama in any room.

Staining wood floors also allows homeowners to mimic a certain type of timber. Are you looking for the atmosphere of a beautiful oak, but want a modern herringbone pattern? Choose a more flexible timber species with an oak-toned stain. Stain a lighter coloured timber in charcoal grey, or opt for a walnut brown on something other than walnut. Stain colours offer more flexibility than natural tones.

Most designers agree that stained flooring offers more warmth than natural timber floors. Stain tends to bring out the wood patina and accentuates the grain, adding character and a cosy feeling in any space. Perhaps this quality makes stained timber flooring trendier in today's contemporary marketplace, creating just the right combination of traditional and modern.
