Grey wood flooring | How to choose the perfect shade

With its stunning look and practical features, the Grey Oak Engineered Wood Flooring perfectly combines solid wood's allure with engineered wood's practicalities. Because grey is a neutral colour, it can be paired with anything. Since grey wood flooring >> shows less dust than dark brown flooring, it is also easier to maintain.
 

SHADES OF GREY

Grey is an easy colour to work with. Having grey hardwood flooring>> installed is a great place to start. Whether you plan to decorate your home or office in monochrome or bright colours, grey will complement both. You can combine grey flooring with contemporary, minimalistic, traditional, and cosy furniture.
 

Waterfall

There is a wide selection of grey engineered oak flooring available at Ecohardwood. It starts with the bestsellers Waterfall>>. It is tailor-made colour that age beautifully over time.  The Waterfall>>  shade offers a look with a hint of brown and a natural appearance. Take a look at this Blakes kitchen island that sits on a Chevron >> pattern of Ecohardwood in Waterfall>> colour. With an interior design this beautiful, you can see why The Times featured it in their publication. Please view more pics from this project here >>

Here are some more wonderful projects of Waterfall colour  >>
 

Light grey

 

A lighter grey wooden floor, like Ecohardwood oak flooring in Ocean Breeze >> colour, will make the room appear larger and more spacious. This shade of grey wooden flooring would be perfect for coastal or Scandinavian style interiors. Nature is at the heart of Scandinavian interior design. The whole space is characterized by functional over decorative features, and the wood flooring is a key component. Light grey wood floors enhance a room's warmth and cosiness while keeping the colour scheme neutral and muted.

For beach house style, pair light grey floors with lighter-toned furniture and accents. Light grey wood floors look great with cream, beige, silver, and sage colours. In addition to adding shabby chic, vintage charm to a room, camel tones are also very suitable for a light grey-washed floor.

Dark grey
 

Make a statement in a room by choosing a deep, dark grey colour palette like Anthracite >> or Antique >> from the Ecohardwood collection. Dark grey floors make a dramatic contrast with light-coloured walls. Dark grey hardwood floors also provide a perfect backdrop for brightly coloured furniture and accents, such as red or teal. Gold and honey tones also complement dark grey hardwood floors.

Silver grey

 

There is something sophisticated and luxurious about silver-grey. With silvery grey flooring, you can modernize your living room. The pale colour makes the room appear more spacious, light, and airy. The space will look beautiful if you match your silver grey hardwood flooring>> with glass or metal accessories. Additionally, this tone pairs well with minimalist home decor, mainly when used as a monochrome colour scheme. As it's a cool colour, warm colours also work well with it. Have a look at interiors with Ecohardwood wooden flooring in Silver Dust >>  shade.

An engineered wood floor in silver grey can balance out an otherwise busy room. Wood floors with greyer tones and less brown will have more of a modern, contemporary look. Modern Concrete >> is the colour from the Ecohardwood collection if you're looking for an industrial style. Installed in an open space, it goes well with a contemporary interior.

Earthy grey

Undertones of brown or green can be found in earthy greys. The tone is known as greige because it combines grey, beige, and green together. It offers a great contrast with natural elements such as wood and stone. Graphite shade from Ecohardwood is a good example of earthy tones.

Brown colours with grey undertones can add a bit of modernity to a traditional home. Ecohardwood offers a collection of grey oak wood flooring that also combines brown tones. The colours include Grey >>Graphite>> and Forest Lake >>.

Maintenance 

Since grey flooring shows less dust than dark brown flooring, it is easier to maintain. Ecohardwood oak flooring is also treated with non-toxic glue and stains from German manufacturer SAICOS >>  to protect it and make it easier to clean. Our flooring is manufactured environmentally friendly using the highest quality materials, of which the most important is European oak. The 3-layer symmetrical true balance construction >> makes the floor ideal for underfloor heating and ensures stability.  

I recently visited the Ecohardwood showroom in West London and was genuinely impressed. It's beautifully designed and the quality of the products really stands out. Everything is made from real, natural oak and you can see the attention to detail in the craftsmanship. The team were very friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for premium engineered wood flooring, made-to-measure oak doors or bespoke oak staircases, I'd definitely recommend visiting the showroom. It's well worth the trip and gives you a much better understanding of the products than looking online. Excellent service and beautiful quality throughout.
We recently worked with Ecohardwood and Gode Interiors on a bespoke oak staircase project. Ecohardwood manufactured the staircase cladding and supplied high-quality oak components, which were beautifully crafted and delivered to a very high standard. The products were well prepared for installation, and the team was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the project. We would be happy to recommend Ecohardwood to anyone looking for quality oak staircases, flooring, doors, and bespoke joinery.
I bought the floors for 1 of my project. They look amazing, worth every penny. The client is so happy with this flooring. Next projects will suggest to my clients to get this floor. Easy to install...One of the staff which I deal with ( name Renata ), was really helpful. Thank you Renata. Definitely recommend this flooring.
We recently purchased Ecohardwood engineered oak wood flooring in the Tobacco colour and we couldn’t be happier. The quality is excellent – well made, with a beautiful natural finish. We installed it throughout the whole house and it has completely changed the look and feel of the space, giving it a warm, modern and very natural feel. We did apply a premium hardwax oil, which enhanced the tone and added extra protection. We are extremely happy with our choice and would definitely recommend this floor to anyone looking for great quality and a timeless look.
We chose Ecohardwood having seen their engineered oak floors (Tobacco) in a friend's house. We found Irmantas a pleasure to deal with. We love the look and finish of the product and chose it in part because it works well with our underfloor heating. There were a few spillages by our builders but the Ecohardwood team have been very helpful in helping our builders to remedy these mistakes. Irmantas has remained very reassuring and calm! We fully recommend the product having lived in our house now for a few months. If I did it again I might use Ecohardwood to do the installation.
