Corners that stay tight
Every turn in the pattern is a joint where two boards meet. On a floor like this, a gap at one corner would show across the whole room.
Custom Flooring
Custom Two-Tone Greek Key Floor
A two-tone wood floor laid in a Greek key pattern and sized to the room, so the design frames the space instead of fighting it.
At a glance
- Two wood tones, one continuous pattern
- Pattern scaled to the room
- Clean stop at the doorway
A patterned floor like this is planned before a single board goes down. The size of each loop, the width of the border, and where the pattern starts all depend on the room’s measurements, so the design lands evenly against every wall.
Two-tone layouts also leave nowhere to hide. Every cut and every corner is visible, and a small mistake early on carries across the whole floor.
Thinking about something similar? Custom patterns work best in rooms where the floor can be the feature: entryways, dining rooms, studies, and bedrooms. Mark can look at the space and talk through a scale and color combination that suits it.
Look closer
The details that make it.
What to notice in this project, and why it matters for how the floor looks and lasts.
Square to the room
The border runs parallel to the walls and the window, so the pattern looks planned for this room rather than dropped into it.
A clean edge at the doorway
The pattern stops at the doorway and the hallway continues in a single tone, keeping the design to the room it was made for.
