Colours & Tones

Medium Tone Timber FlooringWarm mid-brown oak

“Not too light, not too dark — just right.”

Warm, mid-brown European oak — the most versatile tone we carry. Medium floors sit right in the middle of the range: enough colour and grain to feel warm and grounded, without going as pale as a natural oak or as deep as a smoked or dark board.

This is the everyday tone, and it earns the title. A warm mid-brown works with almost any wall colour, kitchen and furniture style, which makes it the safe, hard-to-regret choice for family homes, and for any project where the floor has to get along with everything else in the room.

Within the medium band there is still plenty to choose from — cooler, greige-leaning browns through to warmer, golden and honeyed oak, in smooth and lightly-textured finishes. Order a few samples side by side and you will quickly see which warmth suits your light.
