When we think of coastal interiors, the blue-striped curtains, anchors and miniature ships are a thing of the past.
 
Coastal themes have moved on and today’s interpretation of beach-inspired interiors is all about creating a relaxing and stylish haven. From floor to ceiling, soft muted colours and wonderful textured layers stand strong.
 
With a wide range of subtle shades and beautiful natural texture, Woodpecker Flooring’s Salcombe, is the perfect choice of flooring to bring the light and vitality of the seashore into your home.
 
Salcombe is expertly created from engineered wood with seven styles to choose from. From the charms of a rustic beach-house to the multi-tonal sand dunes, the assortment of dusky and delicate tones creates a beautifully stylish floor range - the perfect complement to a coastal interior.
 
Many of the boards are specially treated using a process called ‘smoking’ which subtly intensifies the boards’ tones by awakening the natural tannins in the timber. Offering more complexity than a simple stained board, these smoked colours add a new dimension to these floors.
 
Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “There is no better floor for a coastal inspired home. With quality and style at the fore, our Salcombe range brings a real sense of coastal beauty and while there might be a real complexity to these boards, the subtle tones create a welcoming notion of calmness.”
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.
