Winner Decided by Jo · Thu, Oct 22
Herringbone oak, matte
Warm underfoot and forgiving with a dog. Matte hides scratches better than the oiled sample.
Votes 3 love
Price $74 / m²
Lead time 3 weeks
“Matte finish, 90mm blocks. The one that looked right in every light.”
Alex, during the vote
Also considered 
Walnut herringbone 1 vote. Beautiful, but darker than we want downstairs.
Classic parquet, light 0 votes.

Winner Decided by Jo · Wed, Oct 21
Zellige, forest green
Hand-glazed, deeply variegated, rich in north light. It won on texture and on how well it sits beside the oak floor.
Votes 3 love
Price $68 / m²
Lead time 6 weeks
“Love the hand-glazed variation. Check the frost rating before we commit, and ask for a sample batch.”
Jo, during the vote
Also considered 
Carrara honed, 600×600 1 vote. Gorgeous, but it needs sealing every year.
Checkerboard, black and bone 1 vote. Too busy for a small room.

Terracotta lime plaster
Soft, chalky and alive in daylight. It makes the living room feel ten years older in the best way.

Price $38 / m²
Lead time 1 week
“The one. Even better at dusk.”

The palette
Oak, forest green and terracotta. Warm, grounded, a little unexpected.
