Cicilia Naranza Base/Decor

A guest room in a semi-D is where this one earns its place. Cinnamon sits in the mid red brown range Malaysians know from nyatoh, warm without pushing orange. The satin texture face has a light grain you can feel, similar to sanded board, and it still wipes clean without effort. Four random faces is a low count, so boxes need to be opened and shuffled before laying, or the repeat becomes visible across a long room. The Base and Decor pieces let you break the run with a patterned band near the doorway. Planks are 150 x 900 mm, 8 to a box, 1.08 m2 of coverage at 22 kg.
