Distressed look parquet : charm and authenticity

In the world of interior design, certain trends have the power to transform our living spaces. Distressed look parquet is a perfect example, gaining popularity for its authentic character and timeless charm.

 

Let's find out how these brand new parquet floors capture the essence of the aesthetics of yesteryear to enhance your home and give it an authentic feel. And the good news is that these floors don't suffer from wear and tear! Distressed look parquet takes on the hazards of life in perfect harmony, and every imperfection adds a new touch of character to the wood.

What is a distressed look parquet floor?

Distressed look parquet is much more than just a floor covering; it's a true work of craftsmanship. This type of parquet, whether solid or engineered, is designed to imitate the look of wood that has stood the test of time. Aging techniques give each plank of parquet a unique patina. The marks, knots and imperfections in the wood become charming features, telling a story that adds depth to your room.

# A style steeped in history

Whether it is the charm of an old cottage, the cosiness of an old country house or the raw spirit of an industrial loft, distressed parquet is steeped in history. Some styles are reminiscent of old narrow plank floors, while their contrasting colours and meticulous finishes create a texture full of character.

The surface, often brushed, smoked and sometimes sawn, develops a natural patina that enhances its authentic, warm character. The meticulously worked and hammered bevels also contribute to this aged effect, enhancing the relief and unique character of each plank. This craftsmanship gives the floor a timeless soul, capable of transforming any interior into a space imbued with history and elegance.

# A wide range of finishes

Distressed-looking parquet offers an incredible variety of finishes to suit all tastes and interior styles. Waxed or extra matt, with or without planed or sawn effects, every detail enhances the natural charm of the wood. Smoking, which can be adjusted to the desired intensity, adds extra depth to the colour.

These wood floors are also available in wide or even extra-wide planks to enhance the rich nuances and textures of the material. Visible knots, slight irregularities and colour variations are no longer flaws, but assets that add authenticity and character to any space, creating a warm and unique atmosphere.

# For all styles For all budgets

Another interesting facet of distressed wood flooring is its ability to blend in with different decorating styles. Whether you want a clean, modern look or something more traditional and historic, there are a variety of finishes and shades to choose from. You can choose lighter shades for an airy feel or darker tones for an intimate atmosphere. In terms of budget, distressed look parquet comes in a wide range of price points. This variety means that everyone can find the ideal flooring without compromising on style or quality. Let your creativity run wild and personalise your space to your heart's content!

# Durability and resistance

While its charm is undeniable, a distressed looking parquet is not just a matter of aesthetics. It combines style and practicality, making it the ideal choice for interiors where life is in full swing. Thanks to special aging processes, wood becomes stronger and more resistant, making it perfect for everyday use, even in the busiest homes, where children, pets and the comings and goings leave their mark.

And that's the secret of its uniqueness: every scratch, every little imperfection tells a story and blends harmoniously with the distressed look of the floor. Far from detracting from its beauty, these signs of life enhance its authenticity, making your floor a warm, vibrant reminder of times gone by. Distressed look wood flooring embraces the ups and downs of everyday life with natural elegance, proving that style and practicality can go hand in hand to enhance your interior for years to come.

To keep your floor looking its best, we recommend that you clean it regularly with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products that could damage the wood finish.
