Hi there, We have a couple of darker option, I believe when going for a dark flooring it tends to create a more warm and cosy feel. We have a couple of option in stock that may be something of interest, these options are engineered boards. The first option we would have is the Pyrenees Smoked Oak, this is a stunning wide oak board. With the wider planks it creates depth to the room like no other board. On another note, it is also available inHerringbone style. The second option would be our gorgeous Hand scraped Geneva oak, with the deep rich colour, it gives the room a fantastic rich feel. The Third option we would have in stock would be our Oslo Oak, This board is relatively dark compared to the boards mentioned above. Do you have an idea on the exact colour you would be looking for? Even a picture of something you have seen? We may have a product in stock to match exactly what your looking for. If you do have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch via email, Info@floormonster.co.uk or you can call us directly on 0141 887 5698. Kind Regards, Floor Monster Team

Thanks! Plants would definitely improve the view outside. Worth investigating if any can survive but it is very dark - the room next door is still basement level but not directly behind a floor to ceiling wall like this one unfortunately is. I think it appears brighter in the photos thanks to modern cameras! The image showing both rooms at the same time of day is probably the most realistic view of the light (or lack of) Yes it would be to buy so adding in more glazing is an option. Along the other room wall would add more light but I think it would then be problematic for sleeping. Maybe a window can be added above the door and a glazed door used too. Like this: I’m not sure on the fake windows - they could be ok but I’d have to see them in person. Thanks macbroom! That seems like a good idea !
