New Year Refresh

Woodpecker Flooring on how cool tones can transform living spaces

Homeowners looking for a fresh start this new year may look to revitalise their living space. One simple, yet significant change that can transform any room is bidding farewell to tired, dated flooring.


And according to the experts at wood floor specialists Woodpecker Flooring, opting for cooler tones is the way forward in 2025.


Incorporating light wood flooring, such as Woodpecker Flooring’s Harlech White Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring, offers a multitude of benefits. From creating a sense of spaciousness to an overall feeling of serenity.


Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “The light and airy aesthetic of white or light wood floors can make any room feel larger and more open. By reflecting natural light, these floors create an illusion of increased space, making even small rooms appear more expansive.


“Plus, the soft, neutral tones create a welcoming atmosphere, making spaces feel more inviting and comfortable.”


Harlech White Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is a beautiful fresh whitened floor that has been smoked to enhance its ashen undertones and then carefully brushed and matt lacquered to accentuate the detail in every plank.


The versatility of Harlech White Smoked Oak means it seamlessly blends with lots of existing interior design styles, as well as contemporary and period schemes, so homeowners don’t have to undertake every aspect of a room makeover to reap the benefits it brings.


Darwyn said: “There is a calming elegance when using cool hues in interior schemes and this is especially true of light wood floors. They set the tone for the rest of the scheme.”


Harlech White Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is available in two sizes, including a premium 240mm board. Like all other wood floor products from Woodpecker Flooring, Harlech White Smoked Oak Engineered Wood Flooring comes with a 100-year guarantee.


It is available now from Woodpecker Flooring, with prices starting at £98 per m2.

About Woodpecker Flooring

About Woodpecker Flooring:

Woodpecker is a family-run business with a heritage in the timber industry that goes back three generations.

Founded nearly 50 years ago by Bruce Ker, a skilled craftsman who loved teaching people how to work with wood, the Woodpecker tradition is continued today by his son Nelson and grandson Darwyn.

Since the very beginning, Woodpecker have been passionate about designing and sourcing the finest wooden floors.

Their dedication starts in the forest. Woodpecker only use responsibly sourced wood with full FSC® or PEFC certifications, selecting the trees before they are felled and paying close attention to how they are sawn, stacked and dried.

The dry wood is then kilned twice for maximum stability before being machined. Centuries-old hand-finishing techniques - such as lacquering, oiling and antiquing the wood - further enhance its natural beauty.

It’s fair to say, nobody knows or cares more about wood than Woodpecker.

Headquartered in Caerphilly, Woodpecker currently offer over 60 flooring options in real wood, engineered wood and bamboo which retails online and at nationwide stockists.
