Dark herringbone, engineered properly
Oxford Dark Brown is the floor that makes a large room feel finished. The dark tone reads as a deliberate choice rather than a default, and it holds its own against both pale walls and dark cabinetry — which is why it ends up in open-plan kitchen-diners more than anywhere else.
Because it is engineered rather than laminate, the surface is genuine oak with a 3mm wear layer, brushed and UV oiled. The 14mm core is listed as compatible with underfloor heating, which a solid herringbone block of the same look would not be.

Fitter’s note: Glue it down. Herringbone blocks are short, and full-spread adhesive is what keeps the pattern tight and the floor quiet underfoot for its whole life.
