Flooring as a design foundation
From parallel Plank lines to the rhythm of Herringbone, explore how floor direction and decor tone influence the character of an interior.


One decor, a different spatial rhythm
Authentic Gold Oak is documented with separate Plank and Herringbone visuals. A repeated wood grain can create a quiet background in a straight layout or become a stronger graphic element in Herringbone. Keep the decor code, pattern and dimensions together when comparing samples. The collection’s brochure and technical sheet provide the product information needed to move from a visual preference to a specification.

Direction is part of the design
The Grande room visual demonstrates how continuous Plank lines can connect a bedroom, furniture and circulation space. Authentic also presents Plank and Herringbone arrangements in its collection files: one follows parallel lines, while the other creates a repeated directional pattern. Compare the available formats for the chosen collection, and plan the layout around doorways, sightlines and installation requirements before ordering.
