Hi Barney, That sounds fab and I'm sure it will look beautiful. Just a quick comment on parquet / herringbone tiles after some recent experience on our renovation project, you probably know this already but I didn't and it ended up as quite an expensive learning for us; cutting tiles to a herringbone pattern is super time consuming! No problem if you get a fixed price upfront or are doing it yourself but having just had our new walk in shower tiled (2m x 1m) in a herringbone pattern I was astounded by how long it took and the complexity of all the 45 degree cuts! It looks stunning but I selected the tiles and pattern with aesthetics in mind and definitely with no comprehension of the cost implications :) Best wishes, Claire

I agree on the above about the use of a proper upright floor sander. I do however think that a hard oil wax can work well. if you varnish the floor you will have a single layer that, if you end up with traffic routes will require a complete application of varnish. the advantage of an oil is that you can apply a touch up to an area without the need for a complete sand and varnish. if you check Osmo they have a few options. see the website for details https://www.osmouk.com/sitechapter.cfm?chapter=82&page=247

This are natural marks due to the rustic nature of the wood, certainly not to do with the sanding process. If these blocks were spread out more, it would be much less noticeable. The marks are unlikely to fade, but unless you stained this with a dark coloured oil or dye, they will still be visible. Give us a call if you need any further technical advice

Will a dark worktop work with an oak parquet floor in the kitchen ??
Q

I think it would depend on the tone of the oak and the tone of the walnut. I don’t think yellow/orange oak would work with a reddish walnut, but an almost black walnut might work with a grey toned oak floor, especially if there’s darker tones in the oak. However, I would agree not to mix— you already have oak parquet and marble tiles. I think adding a third strong texture could be a step too far. If it was me, I’d either get an oak worktop, marble effect worktop, or a worktop that works with the tones within the marble. Speaking from experience btw—I once combined a harlequin floor, cherry effect worktops, travertine and accent patterned tiles. I hated it, it made me so uncomfortable that less than two years later I covered the splashback tiles with panelling painted to tone with creamy whites on doors and floor. Such a relief! And a much more flexible starting point for adding other colour/bursts of pattern.
