Trend Alert: Craftmanship Revival


A new board from wood floor specialists Woodpecker Flooring celebrates Craftsmanship Revival – the latest interiors movement valuing skilled workmanship in homewares.


Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is the latest addition to Woodpecker’s Legacy range, a unique collection that has received extra care and attention from Woodpecker’s team of expert designers. It is available in two widths, a generous 190mm, and a extra wide 240mm.


A stunning blend of rich auburn and deep chocolatey hues, with bevelled edges and characterful markings, Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak has been designed to look like it’s always been a part of the home.


The board epitomises Craftmanship Revival - a trend that appreciates the artisanal nature of homewares. It's a move that celebrates natural materials as well the striking imperfections that add character and give each board an aged feel.


Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Chepstow Distressed Charcoal Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is ideal for capturing the feel that yours is a floor that’s been loved across the generations.


“It works beautifully with sultry dark walls for a luxe feel, or with bright fresh paint to give a modern Parisian chic feel.”


Chepstow Distressed Charcocal Oak is not the only Woodpecker range to showcase the Craftsmanship Revival trend; York Antique Oak, Goodrich Barn Oak and Berkeley Cathedral Oak will all bring artisanal charm to the home.

About Woodpecker Flooring

About Woodpecker Flooring:

Woodpecker is a family-run business with a heritage in the timber industry that goes back three generations.

Founded nearly 50 years ago by Bruce Ker, a skilled craftsman who loved teaching people how to work with wood, the Woodpecker tradition is continued today by his son Nelson and grandson Darwyn.

Since the very beginning, Woodpecker have been passionate about designing and sourcing the finest wooden floors.

Their dedication starts in the forest. Woodpecker only use responsibly sourced wood with full FSC® or PEFC certifications, selecting the trees before they are felled and paying close attention to how they are sawn, stacked and dried.

The dry wood is then kilned twice for maximum stability before being machined. Centuries-old hand-finishing techniques - such as lacquering, oiling and antiquing the wood - further enhance its natural beauty.

It’s fair to say, nobody knows or cares more about wood than Woodpecker.

Headquartered in Caerphilly, Woodpecker currently offer over 60 flooring options in real wood, engineered wood and bamboo which retails online and at nationwide stockists.
