The doorway edge
Where the new floor meets the next room, the edge is cut straight and clean so the transition sits flat.

Light & Dark Plank Flooring
Two plank floors, two looks: a soft grey-washed plank that brightens a smaller room and a rich dark plank down a long, sunlit one.
At a glance
- Light and dark plank finishes
- Straight lines down a long room
- Clean edges at doorways and baseboards
Plank flooring is one of the most popular updates for a home, and one of the easiest to get wrong. A first row that’s slightly off, or end joints that line up into a pattern, shows across the whole room.
These two floors show the range: a light, grey-washed plank that opens up a smaller room, and a dark plank that adds warmth to a long space with plenty of natural light.
Thinking about something similar? Choosing between a lighter or darker floor often comes down to the light in the room and how it’s used. Mark can look at the space and give you an honest recommendation.
Look closer
The details that make it.
What to notice in this project, and why it matters for how the floor looks and lasts.
A random stagger
End joints are spread out so they never line up across rows, which keeps the floor looking natural.
Straight down a long room
In a long room, the first row sets the line for everything after it. These boards stay parallel to the wall the whole way down.
