Oaklore Wallnut

If you've grown up around WA homes, jarrah's deep red-brown is what a proper floor looks like. Oaklore Wallnut is the tile version of that mood, a dark red-brown walnut colour, though the grain is its own. The honest comparison is this: jarrah feels warmer underfoot and can be sanded back, while a glazed tile can't, but it won't need recoating either. A herringbone of this colour suits a bedroom or a study with pale walls and good lamps. Check the lighting, because a north-facing room will make the red lift, and a south-facing room will pull it back. Get a sample first and look at it across a whole day.
