Home Offices To Get A Makeover

Three of the best wood flooring options for a home office revamp

The home offices which became the norm back in 2020 are now all in line for a revamp - according to new research from wood floor specialists, Woodpecker Flooring.

Using data from Pinterest, the family-run flooring experts found searches for home office inspiration are on the up, meaning it’s makeover time for the newest room in the house.

Over the last month, searches for ‘cosy home office’ are up 200%, while ‘home office setup’ and ‘home office décor’ have increased 100% and 30% respectively.

Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Styling a home office can be a tricky balancing act. The space needs to create the right working environment, while still complementing the décor of the rest of the home.

“A wood floor works beautifully in a home office. Not only does it tick all the right boxes on the aesthetic front, but it can be used throughout the rest of the home to tie the spaces together.

“It’s a practical choice, after all carpets and office chairs don’t really mix, and gives a professional feel.

“What’s more, the use of natural materials within a home office has been proven to increase productivity and well-being within an office environment.”

Here Darwyn gives his three top choices from Woodpecker Flooring for boosting productivity and style in the home office:

Salcombe Riviero Oak Engineered Wood Flooring is an ideal choice for a stylish home office. Its warm tones and coffee highlights create a harmonious working environment.

Similarly, Berkeley Cathedral Oak exudes class with its hand-finished boards. It will look as beautiful in a home office as it would a boardroom.

York Select Oak is a solid wood board which showcases the small imperfections of the oak tree. Its warm tones and natural textures ensure a calm working environment. 

Darwyn added: “Biophilic design, which reconnects homes with nature, has many benefits and these are particularly apt for a home office. A great quality wood floor is the perfect starting point around which to create a workspace that not only looks great but works practically too.”

Salcombe Riviero Oak, Berkeley Cathedral Oak and York Select Oak are all available now from Woodpecker Flooring. Each comes with a 100-year guarantee.
