Parquet flooring was historically made famous by Louis XIV who replaced all the marble in the Palace of Versailles with parquet flooring, this classic look can be modernised by adding colour or by using different materials. This look will add instant texture and interest to the floor.

Trend 3 - Grey

Grey is the 'new neutral', grey has been trending in other areas of interior for a while and now its starting to emerge in wood. It's a great base as its not overpowering so doesnt fight with any colours, this allows you to accent key elements in your home, whether opting for lighter or darker grey tones.
