From warm engineered oak to statement herringbone, the living room is where you can lead with style. It sees daily traffic but rarely moisture, so almost every floor type works — which means the decision comes down to the look and feel you want underfoot.
Real oak warmth with the stability to handle underfloor heating and changing temperatures. The most popular living-room choice, for good reason.
The ultimate premium floor — solid oak or walnut you can sand and refinish for decades. Best in a stable, well-heated room.
Turn the floor into the feature. Herringbone and chevron add timeless character that lifts the whole room.
All the wood look with none of the worry — warm, quiet underfoot and hard-wearing for busy family living.
Sofas, kids, pets and visitors — choose a durable lacquered or oiled finish that shrugs off daily life.
Engineered boards and LVT are ideal over UFH; solid wood needs a stable, well-controlled room.
This is where you relax — warmer, quieter floors like engineered wood and LVT feel best barefoot.
Open-plan? Run the same floor through to the kitchen or hall for a bigger, calmer feel.
Wide planks make a living room feel more spacious and expensive. Narrow boards suit period homes.
Warm mid-browns and natural oaks hide everyday dust and scratches far better than very dark or very pale floors.
Run planks towards the main window so the grain draws the eye down the room and catches the daylight.
A large rug under the sofa softens acoustics, protects high-wear spots and defines the seating area.
