Whether it’s a classic sofa, a beautiful focal wall, or the fabulousness of a stunning kitchen island, there are numerous ways to add some striking style to one’s home (and thank goodness for that, seeing as personal taste ensures that no two homes are completely identical).

But today we want to shy slightly away from the walls and furnishings and look down – yes, the flooring on which we walk and stand. How often do those surfaces go unnoticed and overlooked? Our avid homify readers will know by now how much we adore a wooden floor; it can add a touch of warmth or organic appeal to any space, and it knows very well how to flaunt a glamorous look if that is the style you are going for. 

So, from perfectly polished parquet to water-resistant boards in the bathroom, let’s hear it for the beauty of the wooden floor!

1. Timber panels are a great way to emphasise a room’s length and make it more visually spacious.

2. Parquet flooring for a throwback to the old-style glamour of yesteryear.

3. Multi-tonal wood to expertly cover up those muddy smears and smudges in the entryway.

4. For a minimalist or Scandinavian-style room, try a wooden surface in a cooler tone.

5. See how the pattern of this organic wooden floor contrasts with the sleekness of the walls.

6. Timber flooring that comes glowingly to life with the rays of the sun.

7. This sand-coloured floor is the perfection companion for this neutral-toned kitchen.

8. Parquet flooring that’s perfectly polished? Now that’s glamour gone golden!

9. For a nautical touch, we recommend this washed-out wooden floor.

10. Floorboards can be painted very lightly, as long as some of that pattern and texture still comes through.

From painters to plumbers, we have them all here on homify, and much more. Check out our professionals page.

11. The classics never go out of style, as this heavily patterned wooden flooring proves.

12. Imagine the feeling of walking barefoot on that smooth and polished surface.

13. We love how this grey-toned floor offsets with the chic whites of the walls and ceiling.

14. Wooden floors in a bathroom? Yes, thank you very much, laminated treatment!

15. This Scandinavian-inspired flooring adds such delicious texture to this quiet design.

16. Linear parquet might be more unusual than the herringbone version, but flaunts just as much style.

17. Here we see how a wooden floor adds a bamboo-like touch to this modern space.

18. Notice how the floor mimics the front door. Design in harmony.

19. Timber panels adorning both floor and wall: a must-have, in our opinion.

20. Caramel-toned wood adorns the floor, furniture and staircase with expert perfection.

21. Rustic ceiling beams that seem to flow out of the floorboards – pure genius.

22. These dark-toned floorboards keep the room grounded, and contrast strikingly with the light neutral tones of the room.

23. This floor adds a perfect touch of pattern and texture to this clean and quiet space.

24. An ordinary patio went the ultra stylish route with this wooden decking.

25. Wooden floorboards can make a big impression in even the tiniest space.
