Oak floor boards

[the village idiot]

Have you thought of doing "parquet " type of flooring ? it can be done to amazing effects using different patterns and a combination of different woods .

 

Good suggestion but parquet is a little bit busy for me.

 

Appreciate what you are all saying about DIY flooring not necessarily being worth the hassle, but it is something I would like to try and after speaking to the sage like Agg 221 I'm reassured that it can be done quite simply and cost effectively. Even with straight cut boards.

 

Dirtybiker, your floor looks lovely!

Check out 'end grain flooring' on Google. Kind of like parquet flooring but doesn't have to look fiddly/cheesey.

I imagine it would be very hard wearing.
