Karndean expands its design potential with contemporary herringbone

Karndean’s latest flooring collection draws inspiration from the trending concept of quiet luxury, blending warm neutrals and nature inspired palettes with customisable oak formats. Whether used in isolation as a traditional herringbone pattern or with the matching full-size plank for a cohesive feel (for instance, when zoning a space or creating directional wayfinding), this collection is aimed at projects from residential and hospitality to retail and workplace.

The new herringbone collection includes four staple designs from Karndean’s Highland Oak collection: Croftmore, Glenmore, Hayfield and Aviemore Oak. Inspired by samples of reclaimed timber found at an old railway station nestled in the Scottish Highlands, these designs feature well-balanced grain markings, characterful signs of wear and a registered emboss for an authentic finish.

Two more of Karndean’s existing designs extend the colour range and style combinations; Canadian Nude Oak, with its neutral blond tones and gentle straight grain patterning, and Antique French Oak, featuring authentically replicated historic markings and tarnishing to enhance the collection’s natural warmth and versatility. Alongside the herringbone format’s timeless aesthetic, the Van Gogh collection is also designed for reliable performance in high traffic environments, including an Environmental Product Declaration, a 15-year guarantee for commercial settings and a lifetime guarantee in residential.
