When you’re planning a bedroom update there are some obvious essentials to consider, from relaxing colours, interesting patterns and tactile fabrics to storage, soft lighting, a comfortable mattress and good quality bedding. But what you choose underfoot is more important than you might think.
For as long as most of us can remember, plush carpets have been the flooring of choice in our bedrooms. Whereas our European cousins have traditionally opted for sleek, practical hard flooring. Perhaps because of its timeless organic elegance or maybe because it’s so much easier to clean and keep allergens at bay.
Either way, us Brits have recently been taking a leaf out of their book and increasingly choosing the natural beauty of wood flooring for our inner sanctuaries. We’re realising that hard flooring doesn’t just look good, it makes life easier too.

When you choose Karndean flooring you get all the classic beauty of timber but without any of the drawbacks: it won’t warp, stain or demand constant upkeep. Waterproof and scratch-resistant, it’s a breeze to clean with just a soft broom and a damp mop. What’s more, its smooth surface gives dirt nowhere to hide while our special treatment offers extra resilience so your Karndean floor will last much longer. In fact, we’re so confident in the durability of our flooring that we offer a lifetime product warranty.
The only remaining challenge is to find the perfect floor for your style.
If you love a light and airy style, you’ll love our limed, whitewashed or natural oak designs such as Clay Artisan Oak from our Art Select range or our Van Gogh Canadian Nude Oak. With pale neutral tones and subtle grain details, these are just two of many great choices for a minimalist design.

Or perhaps you prefer a traditional English country style with timeless materials and warm comforting colours. In which case you’ll find plenty of options, from the warm honey tones of Traditional Character Oak from our Knight Tile range to the golden sandy hues of Van Gogh’s Warm Brushed Oak or the ultra-authentic rustic charm of Natural Oak from Art Select.

Or maybe saturated colours and bold patterns are more your thing. In which case, you need a floor that can hold its own and complement your colour scheme. Something like Salvaged Barnwood from the Van Gogh range with its rich antique hues and unique saw marks or the beautiful warm red and dark chocolate tones of Art Select’s Serrano Oak.
