Expert Insight

Ian Tomlinson, Managing Director at Chaunceys Timber Flooring, shares his perspective: "We've seen a growing appreciation for the depth and character that darker wood floors bring to a space. When paired with this season's trending colours, our dark and mid tone finishes such as Espresso and Chocolate Latte create a harmonious and timeless look."

To illustrate how these colour trends integrate seamlessly with their range of finishes, Chaunceys Timber Flooring has collaborated with leading interior designers to create inspiring mood boards which perfectly showcase this season’s best colour pairings.

 Mocha Mousse: The Colour of the Year

Pantone's 2025 Colour of the Year, Mocha Mousse, is a rich, grounding shade that exudes comfort and understated luxury. This warm brown pairs beautifully with Chaunceys' mid and dark timber finishes, enhancing the natural grain and depth of the wood.

Her design illustrates how deep, chocolate browns remain a staple in interiors this season, offering a timeless appeal that resonates with both contemporary and classic decor.

Earthy Greens and Terracottas

Interior design trends are gravitating towards earthy hues that evoke a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. Shades like sage green, olive and clay are at the forefront, offering versatility and a calming presence in various spaces. These colours pair exceptionally well with Chaunceys Timber Flooring's mid-toned finishes that highlight the texture of the wood for a grounded, organic feel.

The resurgence of these natural hues reflects a broader movement towards biophilic design, where elements that mimic the natural world are integrated into interiors to promote well-being. Sage green, in particular, has been hailed as the "new neutral" by designers, appreciated for its ability to blend seamlessly with both warm and cool tones.

Comfort and Playful Contrast Mood Board:

Interior Designer Gema Broch, explored this combination in one of her recent schemes, shown below. She incorporated a new wallpaper from Sandberg, noting, "It looked really beautiful with Chaunceys’ Chocolate Latte flooring." This pairing showcases how earthy greens can complement darker wood tones, creating spaces that feel both balanced and elegant.

Playful Pinks and Bold Statements

Blush pink and lilac are emerging as versatile neutrals, adding a soft, romantic touch to interiors. The enduring appeal of soft pinks lies in their adaptability. Whether used as a subtle backdrop or a statement accent, these hues can transform a room, offering a fresh alternative to traditional neutrals. When combined with the natural elegance of timber flooring, the result is both inviting and sophisticated.

Muted Romance Mood Board:

These shades pair effortlessly with Chaunceys' mid and dark toned oak floors, creating a homely, inviting atmosphere. Anouska Tamony, Founder & Creative Director at Anouska Tamony Designs, encapsulates this trend in a mood board inspired by springtime and cherry blossoms, featuring Chaunceys' Espresso finish.
