Creating your individual style with our Van Gogh range

Capturing the authentic and distinctive visuals of natural timber, this week we present to you our popular woods collection, the Van Gogh range.

Being our only all woods range, it encompasses an extensive variety of tones and individual designs, from traditional rustic to cool contemporary. If your colour palette is lending itself to this year’s youthful PANTONE hues, or you’re bordering on the darker tones to create new elegance, there’s without question a Van Gogh wood effect design to suit your interior design concept. 

Here we look at a few of our favourite designs, detailing which decorative styles partner perfectly…


VG1-7 Bracken – a bold, distressed timber effect that faithfully recreates the look of real aged wood, Bracken is one of our original and most popular Van Gogh timber effect designs. You can create a really welcoming, rustic feel to your space with this large plank. It works particularly well in spaces which follow minimal decorative details, in order to let interior architecture stand out. As seen above, the floor highlights the details of the room. 


VGW44T Lancewood – using the deep contrast of light and shaded areas within its soft, traditional grain pattern, Lancewood creates a really interesting and versatile backdrop. Wonderful for this country kitchen look, which features Anne Sloan Vintage White cupboards, pops of bright pastel and inspired retro relics. 


VGW71T Reclaimed Maple – if your interior style is all about the Scandi look – a mixture of organic textures, soft neutral palettes, those indicative greys, blues, blacks and whites - then the light blond hues of our Reclaimed Maple design is the perfect support base. With its subtle marks and deeper brown grain pattern it adds interest, which can be accentuated by simply adding a contrasting design strip between each row, as pictured above.
