What flooring plank width should I choose?

Choosing the right flooring plank width starts with the size and proportion of the room. Wider planks can help create a cleaner, more spacious feel by reducing the number of visible joins, while narrower planks introduce more pattern and visual interest.

Interior style also plays a role. Modern and open-plan spaces often suit wider planks, whereas traditional or character-led rooms may benefit from narrower boards. The key is selecting a width that complements both the room dimensions and the desired look.

You’ll find a range of options across flooring types. Engineered wood flooring offer flexibility in both wide and narrow planks, solid wood flooring highlight natural grain across different sizes, parquet flooring support patterned layouts, while vinyl flooring and laminate flooring provide practical alternatives in a variety of plank formats.
