Carters Road, Ashburton — hand-scraped Chocolat Aged Oak flooring against blackened steel, glass and stone

Dark and Moody

Deep, low-light tones for rooms with strong architecture. Smoked and stained oak that holds its depth against black joinery and dark cladding.

Every colour here can be matched across cabinetry and cladding, including cedar, and worked back to the Colorsteel already chosen for the roof. Book a consultation, in the studio or online, and we will build a sample box around your project.

Dark and Moody Concept Box

The floor is the first decision, and the one every other decision has to live with. This box makes the rest of them easier.

Inside: oak flooring and wall board samples from the Dark and Moody palette, and beside them the carpet, cladding, stone, cabinetry and fabric tones our interior designers would set with it. Not a standard kit. Chosen for your house after a short call about the rooms, the light and the budget, and collated by hand in the studio.

$10, credited against your flooring order. Delivered free within New Zealand.

Dark oak flooring in New Zealand

Lune, Chocolat, Bordeaux and Noir Bandsawn. Deep smoked grey, rich chocolate, dark warm brown and a black bandsawn texture.

Lune is smoked before it is coloured, so its grey sits in the timber rather than on it. The browns are coloured deep into a brushed face for the same reason: the floor reads soft instead of flat. These colours suit black joinery, schist, dark stone and low winter light, and they are the most forgiving of everyday wear. Noir Bandsawn is a wall and ceiling board only.
