When a Plain Floor Is the Better Choice

Small rooms

A repeat pattern needs area to resolve. In a compact hall it gets cut at every edge and never reads as intended. A plain floor in a large format has the opposite effect and makes the room feel bigger, because there is less visual interruption across it.

Rooms that already have a lot going on

If the walls carry a highlighter, or the furniture is strongly patterned, a plain floor is what stops the room feeling crowded. It is also the safer choice if you expect to change the furniture within a few years.

Rooms that open into other rooms

Where a living room runs into a dining area or a passage with no door between them, a plain floor carries through without a visible join in the pattern.

Matt, and Why

Most of this range is matt, which suits a plain floor for a practical reason. A plain glossy floor is the least forgiving surface in a house: with no pattern to break up the reflection, every footmark, water spot and fine scratch is visible across the whole room. Matt in the same colour hides all of it. Our matt versus glossy guide goes into where each belongs.
