There are many ways to decorate a room with hard wood flooring. But if you’re looking for an idea that will add a little colour to a room without taking away from the natural beauty of your oak flooring, here are some ideas to help you think creatively.

1.    Colourful Area Rugs
Area rugs in rich earth tones like scarlet, dark brown, and hunter green can add some warmth and vibrancy to any room with solid oak floors. Choose bold patterns like large flowers, or more traditional ones like paisley, or a braided rope effect.

Other colour schemes that might be fun to play with are turquoise, orange, and purple, or bright yellow and lime green. Choose several different area rugs and put them in places like by a hearth, under a window, or beside a sofa. You could also make your own rug by finding some craft patterns or ideas online or in a magazine.

2.    Dramatic Curtains
Windows provide blank canvases in rooms, allowing you to be creative and add some flair.

Curtains can be used to add a focal point to any room. Long drapes that reach the floor are perfect for large windows and glass doors. Use bold colours to draw the eye, or if you want to make the room seem large and more airy, use white or cream.

If you have smaller windows, you may wish to use a simple swag across the tops of the windows, or use traditional lace curtains. But don’t be afraid of using colour, no matter the size of your windows.

3.    Large Flower Arrangements
Rooms with hardwood floors are often the more formal rooms in homes—dining rooms and front rooms, for instance. And flowers always add a touch of elegance to any formal setting.

You can use fresh cut flowers from your garden or a local florist, or you can use high quality silk flowers.  Choose colours that coordinate with your decorating scheme, and use tall glass or porcelain vases in windowsills or on end tables to showcase your blooms.

4.    Modern Artwork
Add some further colour to your walls by hanging a few choice pieces of modern art. Modern art is known for its bold and bright patterns. Choose something that fits well with your colour scheme, and draws the eye.

If you can’t afford originals, don’t be afraid to purchase prints. You can find them online, and in many department stores.

Bold photographs can also add a touch of colour, or if you like dramatic black and white photography, simply finish your pictures with brightly coloured frames.

These are just a few of the many ways you can add colour to one of your rooms with hardwood flooring. For more ideas about decorating, and keeping your floors in top condition, check out some of the other articles on our blog.

If you’re thinking about getting new flooring, you’ll definitely want to visit our home page to learn more about our many options, including discount oak flooring, laminate floors, and more.

Choosing flooring for your home can be tricky. There are plenty of issues to bear in mind, such as price, appearance and practicality. The good news is, there’s plenty of choice available to you these days, so you shouldn’t struggle to find the perfect products.

Here at Nagle Flooring we offer a range of materials and by perusing our selection, you should find something that takes your fancy.

One of the options you might benefit from considering is laminate. Such offerings have a number of benefits. For example, they are inexpensive. This is perfect if you’re operating on a budget. And given the difficult economic conditions in the UK and elsewhere at present, price may be a particularly important issue.

By taking a look around our website, you can see the discount laminate flooring we have to offer and this could bring a smile to your face.

Meanwhile, the material is easy to install. This means you won’t have to get professionals in to do the job for you, saving you more money and ensuring that the process is straightforward.

Also, these offerings can look great. For example, the Pergo laminate products we sell come in a range of styles and they closely resemble solid timber. So, if you’re seeking something that won’t bust your budget and that is straightforward to lay, why not peruse our selection of laminate items.

As well as providing domestic versions, we also offer commercial laminate flooring. There really is a world of possibilities when it comes to this material.

They say home is where the heart is and this is never truer than when you have your loved ones with you. But, as wonderful as families can be, they are also hard work and you might find that running your household is a challenge. One of the problems you may face is trying to keep your abode clean and tidy.

Youngsters and adults alike have an uncanny ability to generate chaos around them. Spillages of food and drink, muddy shoe marks, breakages and so on may be common problems in your property. And if you have pets, such issues are magnified even further.

This is where wooden flooring comes into its own. Unlike carpets that can quickly become stained and tatty, these products can keep their looks for a long time. Liquid spillages can easily be cleared away and dirt can be washed off within seconds. This can make keeping your home in order much easier and less stressful.

These days, there are many different products to choose from. You might opt for solid wood flooring. This can help to add real character to your home and it has a warm appearance too. Meanwhile, if you’re operating on a budget, perhaps engineered wood floors would be preferable. These can also look fabulous and they do not tend to cost as much.

And there is always discount laminate flooring to consider too. There are now many versions of these products available and they can appear just like real wood. They are also easy to lay and inexpensive.

In the modern world, being a little thrifty is a necessary measure in most homes. And when it comes to furnishings like flooring and decor, airing on the side of financial caution can sometimes mean a loss of quality or aesthetic appeal.

Here in the Nagle Flooring studio we don’t agree with that. We do our best to bring top quality hard wood flooring to all our clients at the best possible prices. We update our ranges continuously to make sure all the latest innovations and market developments are appropriately represented in our online catalogue.

Have you visited our “Offers” area yet? We know that when re-flooring your home ever square meter can make a difference. We offer discount oak flooring etc throughout the year to make sure there are always plenty of great end-of-season, end-of-line or stock clearance offers on the table.

The ranges of private and commercial laminate flooring we stock found their way into the Nagle Flooring studio for three reasons – quality, cost and finish. Our catalogue is fresh, full of innovative ideas and consistently reviewed to make sure our clients have the best options available.

Quality
Pergo and Quick Step are our signature flooring suppliers. We’ve enjoyed long partnerships with both brands because of their dedication to excellence, high quality and innovation. For example, Quick Step are noted for their stringent quality control processes and wide range of pioneering flooring solutions, including Quick Step flooring like the “700 Classic” and “950 Country Plank” , products which continuously rank very high in terms of customer satisfaction, performance and good investment.

Cost
The cost of laminate flooring is crucial to us and all of our clients. We find most clients investing in laminate flooring expect it to see quite the barrage of foot traffic and environmental abuse. We keep costs down by always reviewing our catalogue, bringing new products on boards and offering great discounts. Throughout the year we do our best to maintain discount laminate flooring options, helping our clients to make even more savings on top quality products.

Finish
Pergo and Quick Step both produce some of the most faithful texture-inspired laminate flooring products on the market. We, and our suppliers, believe that low cost and top quality needn’t be mutually exclusive. The “Eligna” range by Quick Step is particularly noted for its exemplary attention to detail and luxury finish.

As we’ve previously covered in this blog and on our main website, the primary concern for many of our commercial clients is simple – will flooring last and make a good investment?

We believe there’s a difference between being frivolous with money and seeking out luxury. A financially frivolous person might furnish their shop floor with the most expensive woodblock flooring they can find, simply assuming that the price tag guarantees quality. A fiscally responsible person seeking out luxury gathers information, browses samples, assesses the investment and makes an informed decision even if the resultant best option turns out to be vintage-inspired discount laminate flooring that LOOKS plush.

Practicality
Foot traffic is a simple consideration; few commercial environments can wield the same mighty hammer as the House Rules By Mum “Take off shoes before entering” “Don’t wheel the pram through the living room after it’s been raining” and so on.

Durability
The commercial laminate flooring that we supply is noted for extreme durability under heavy usage. Thick and engineered to cope with stiletto shoes, prams, bikes, walking canes, drawing pins, chewing gum – all the little calamities that make up the average working day.

Style
With all this talk of practical investment, it’s easy to assume a loss of artistic appeal follows. We spend a great deal of time sourcing the best texture-inspired laminate flooring for use in both commercial and private environments. Our top quality promise means you can get the best commercial flooring for your business without skimping on aesthetics or functionality.

Whether you have an old converted barn that is now a luxurious country house, or you live in a brand new build modern house, there are plenty of ways to decorate your kitchen in the farm house style. Here are some ideas to get you started.

First, consider the basics such as your floors, walls, windows, etc. For instance, is there laminate flooring in the kitchen? You  may want to consider replacing that with solid wood flooring, such as one of our lovely discount oak flooring products. Unfinished flooring can look particularly stunning in a farmhouse style kitchen. Medium to darker tones of wood are considered more traditional.

If you plan to paint the walls, you should probably chose a fairly neutral tone, such as cream or beige. But there’s nothing to stop you using a pale yellow or even something a little more exotic like teal, should you have a particular colour scheme in mind. Use your own judgement, but remember that more traditional colours will probably best suit a farmhouse style kitchen.

You can also do a stencil design around the top of your walls as a border. This is very in keeping with a countryside or farmhouse style.

Next you’ll want to gather some ornaments, wall shelves, or other things you can decorate with. Consider things like gingham curtains, pictures of farm animals, or fabric heart or animal shaped ornaments. Think of what is known as the “shabby chic style.” Browse through some decorating magazines for more ideas.

If you love elegance, you probably enjoy living in a home that is well taken care of, finely decorated, and that suits your style in every way. But if you are just starting out in a new home, or you want to redo an existing room, why not install solid wood flooring? Beautiful solid wood flooring can make any room look elegant.

Sometimes darker colours and themes can make a room seem more formal and elegant. If you are looking for natural wood flooring in darker shades, why not try one of our walnut or wheat stained products? If you would like a sample, you can request up to three different samples so that you can get an idea of what the flooring is like.

A good choice for a darker wood finish is our 18mm Solid Oak Stain Walnut. This gorgeous flooring comes in random lengths of board from 300mm to 1500mm. It has bevelled edges all the way around, and is finished with black walnut stain and 6 coats of lacquer. It can be installed with secret nailing or by sticking down to a concrete subfloor. It comes with a 25 year warranty.

Another lovely choice for a darker flooring is our Solid Oak Wheat Lacquered. This flooring offers a rich, medium oak tone, nail down or stick down installation, a lacquered surface, single plan style, bevelled edges all the way around, and comes with a 25 year warranty.

Either of these discount wood flooring options would transform any room into an elegant one.
