Wide or Narrow Wood Flooring
18/07/2022

Choosing the right parquet flooring is very substantial when renovating your home or office or designing a new architectural project. While choosing parquet flooring that adds an identity to the space, attention should be paid to the dimensions of the parquet as well as the color and pattern. Let's take a closer look at the situations that will be effective for selecting other wide or narrow wooden floors that will be an alternative to standard-size parquets.



Floors are one of the most important design tools for the interiors of buildings. Wooden parquets cover the floor surfaces of the rooms and offer many years of use, the substantial things in the choice are room size, the light penetration rate, and cost criteria. If these issues are taken into account while choosing parquets, there will be an efficient and satisfactory result.



Room Size

The size and shape of the rooms are a significant guide in choosing wide or narrow parquets. Using the same size parquet in rooms with different sizes will create a different visual effect in each room. In general, smaller room size should be preferred the narrower the parquet width. A large selection of parquet in a small room could feel uncomfortable and make you feel you have made the wrong choice.


Flooring is an effective floor covering for optical illusion. In a narrow and very long room, wide wooden flooring should be preferred, which makes it appear wider and at normal depth to the eye. In addition, the flooring direction of the parquets will be parallel to the narrow axis direction of the room, and it will help the room to be perceived as wider than it is by being laid with wide parquets. As a different example, if you want to add depth to a square-sized room, with a narrow-width parquet flooring that will be laid parallel to the direction you want to add depth to, it will help that room be perceived as deeper. In addition, the opposite wall in the direction of the parquet flooring will be perceived deeper.


Another issue to be considered is the narrow parquets used in a large room. This preference, which may be a wrong choice, may cause a mixed appearance due to excess joint details on the surfaces. For this reason, choosing a parquet in proportion to the size of the room will provide a more harmonious result in interior design. If you want to create an authentic, traditional style, on the contrary, you can use small-sized plates in large volumes.




Light Intensity

Parquets help the room size to be perceived differently with its color and texture. Natural and various color options of wood will help to achieve the desired effect in the size of the rooms. The preference for light-colored wooden flooring in more minor and darker spaces will make the room appear larger than it was. A warmer space can be created with the help of darker-colored and veined parquet preference.



The Costs

Due to the changing climatic conditions, the importance of trees has been better understood recently. Parquets are produced from valuable trees, from the timber obtained from them. Compared to standard hardwood floors, wide hardwood floors are produced using larger planks. Larger and wider planks are more difficult to obtain than a regular-sized standard parquet. Older trees, which are more valuable, are used to carry out production. For this reason, large parquets are more costly than an average parquet. In projects where the budget is important, paying attention to the choice of wide parquet is necessary.
