THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:
The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, with multiple formats including prestigious herringbone designs. Grey Brushed Oak Herringbone represents the convergence of multiple contemporary design trends: the Scandinavian aesthetic that has dominated interior design for over a decade, the brushed oak finish that has replaced glossy or heavily distressed finishes in modern homes, and the enduring appeal of herringbone patterns that bridge traditional craftsmanship and contemporary styling. The brushed finish creates subtle texture that reveals oak grain patterns through gentle relief, creating visual and tactile interest without the dramatic distressing effects of rustic finishes. Combined with fashionable grey tones and arranged in herringbone patterns, the result is flooring that feels utterly contemporary while maintaining timeless sophistication. The large herringbone plank size (711mm x 178mm) creates substantial, elegant patterns suited to contemporary room sizes and open-plan layouts.
BRUSHED OAK AESTHETICS:
Brushed oak finishes have become synonymous with contemporary wood flooring, replacing the heavily lacquered or distressed finishes that defined previous eras. The brushing technique creates subtle texture that reveals the natural grain patterns through gentle dimensional variation—softer wood between grain lines recedes slightly while harder grain lines remain proud, creating an organic, tactile surface. This subtle texture adds visual interest through the play of light and shadow across the surface while maintaining the smooth, refined feel essential for contemporary interiors. Unlike rustic distressed finishes that suggest aged character, brushed finishes feel clean, modern, and intentional. In grey tones, brushed oak achieves perfect balance: the oak grain provides necessary warmth and natural character, the brushed finish adds sophisticated texture, and the grey coloring delivers the contemporary neutral palette that defines modern design. Arranged in herringbone patterns, these elements combine to create flooring that delivers visual impact, architectural interest, and contemporary sophistication.
GREY-TONED OAK TREND:
Grey-toned oak represents one of the most significant and enduring trends in contemporary flooring and interior design. This color direction offers multiple advantages: perfect coordination with grey-based paint colors, upholstery, and décor that dominate modern interiors; sophisticated neutrality that works with both warm and cool accent colors; calming, professional atmospheres suitable for both residential and commercial applications; and contemporary styling that feels current without being trend-driven. Grey Brushed Oak Herringbone delivers these benefits while retaining essential warmth through visible oak grain patterns and the organic variation inherent in natural wood aesthetics. The herringbone pattern prevents any sense of plainness or monotony that grey floors might risk, adding geometric interest and architectural sophistication. This combination makes the design particularly valuable for people seeking contemporary styling without sacrificing comfort, warmth, or visual interest.
HERRINGBONE IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN:
Herringbone patterns have experienced remarkable renaissance in contemporary interior design, transcending their traditional associations to become favorites in modern and minimalist spaces. The geometric precision appeals to contemporary sensibilities while the pattern's long history provides gravitas and sophistication. In grey brushed oak, herringbone achieves particularly beautiful results: the grey tones keep the overall appearance clean and contemporary, the oak grain flowing through the zigzag arrangement creates organic interest within geometric structure, and the brushed finish adds subtle texture that rewards closer inspection. The result is flooring that provides visual complexity and architectural interest without the busyness or traditional character that might conflict with minimalist principles. The pattern photographs exceptionally well, making it increasingly popular in spaces designed for social media presence.
LARGE HERRINGBONE FORMAT ADVANTAGES:
The 711mm x 178mm (28" x 7") large herringbone format offers significant advantages for contemporary installations. Larger planks create more substantial, elegant patterns that suit modern room sizes and open-plan layouts better than diminutive traditional herringbone. The generous plank size allows oak grain patterns to flow naturally across each piece, showcasing the brushed character effectively. Installation proceeds more efficiently with larger pieces. The scale feels appropriately contemporary and substantial for modern interiors. With 26 pieces per box covering 3.288m², the format proves efficient for kitchen, entrance hall, living area, and feature installations. The micro bevelled edges create subtle shadow lines that define the herringbone pattern beautifully while maintaining the clean, refined appearance essential for contemporary design.
TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE:
Van Gogh's technical specifications deliver professional-grade performance that makes herringbone brushed oak practical for real-world use. The 0.55mm wear layer provides robust protection against scratches and scuffs, particularly important for maintaining the clean appearance that grey tones demand and for herringbone installations where pattern geometry naturally directs foot traffic. The K-Guard+ surface protection and PU coating create a flooring surface that resists daily wear while remaining easy to clean—no special treatments required. The 3.0mm total thickness delivers dimensional stability crucial for maintaining precise herringbone geometry over time. The 100% waterproof construction means herringbone grey oak can be installed in bathrooms, kitchens, and wet areas where genuine oak hardwood would risk warping, swelling, or water damage.
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS:
Herringbone installation requires professional expertise to achieve the precise geometry and clean pattern flow that luxury installations demand. The gluedown method proves ideal, creating stable, permanent installations without movement. Careful planning determines pattern starting points and border treatments. The large herringbone format simplifies installation compared to smaller pieces while still requiring precision. Individual planks can be replaced if damaged. The plank-to-plank variation in brushed oak character ensures installations display authentic wood appearance without repetitive patterns—crucial for high-end contemporary projects where authenticity and quality matter.
MAINTENANCE AND LONGEVITY:
Karndean's Van Gogh herringbone requires minimal maintenance while delivering decades of beautiful performance. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dirt, with occasional damp mopping maintaining pristine appearance. K-Guard+ protection makes cleaning easier. The grey coloring cleverly helps conceal light dust between cleanings better than pure white floors. Unlike genuine oak herringbone requiring refinishing to maintain appearance, this luxury vinyl maintains its designed character effortlessly. The brushed texture and herringbone pattern help conceal minor scuffs in the overall design. Waterproof construction means no special protection needed in wet areas. The lifetime residential warranty and 15-year commercial warranty provide confidence in long-term durability.
