Neutral toned wood flooring - shades of grey

Choosing neutral toned wood flooring is a practical option and muted colours give flexibility allowing an interior to be changed or updated as required. Those looking to install a new wood floor would be wise to consider selecting a timber in a flattering shade of grey. Grey flooring is certainly one of the most adaptable options working well in both contemporary and classic interiors.

From dark graphite to dusky off-white greys there are many finishes available and the result achieved when using grey flooring is one of harmony and calm. Grey wood floors look stunning in ultra modern settings and uber-chic properties can afford to experiment with bold darker tones. In large warehouse style apartments lighter chalkier finishes can look particularly striking.

Dramatic interiors utilising a black and white pallet such as high gloss kitchens and open plan living spaces can use a grey toned wood floor to unite the two colours or living zones. A grey wood floor will also harmonise a room and unite different materials, such as ceramic tiles, natural stone and richer toned wood products such as walnut or oak cabinets, and of course, grey floors looks stunning alongside stainless steel appliances

Daniel Bloom owner of Ecora, London's leading natural flooring store comments "Grey is incredibly forgiving and works well to neutralise any setting. In period properties it enhances original features and in modern homes greys can be used to make bold style statements. Grey wood floors looks timeless, they won't date or go out of fashion and shades of grey also have a calming effect on those using the space, giving a sense of wellbeing and calm to a property, a comforting choice for the modern family home."
