Ambient Sand is cooler than its name suggests. Rather than a warm golden sand it is a pale grey-beige with a faint pink-taupe undertone, a light greige that reads calm and slightly chalky in most light. Within the Natura range...

Danish White is a pale creamy oatmeal blonde rather than a true white. The undertone is warm, closer to unfinished raw oak or bleached driftwood than to a whitewashed or limed board, and the natural knots and grain stay clearly...

Urban Antique Oak is the dark, cool end of the Swish Oak Wideboard range. The boards read as a smoky blue-grey over brown, close to charcoal in places, with large open knots, filled checks and heavy grain character left visible...

Paris Summer Oak is not the warm, sunlit floor the name implies. It is a cool weathered greige: a heavily wire-brushed board where white limed grain sits over a grey-brown body, with darker streaks and the occasional near-driftwood plank. The...

Paris Natural Oak is the classic golden oak of the range and the most evenly coloured board in it. The tone is a saturated warm amber-honey with a light orange undertone, the grain smooth and clearly drawn rather than heavily...

Here is a name that will mislead you if you trust it: Urban Limewash Oak is warm, not white. A true limewash reads cool and chalky, but this swatch is a soft golden-beige, with honey-tan boards sitting next to one...

Do not read Elegant White Oak as a white or cream floor. What the swatch actually shows is a pale, cool grey with a faint violet undertone running through the wire-brushed grain, more washed stone than whitewash. It is the...

Elegant Walnut Oak earns its name, which is not something you can say about every decor in this range. It is a deep chocolate brown with genuine warmth in it, the grain lit by red-amber highlights that catch the light...

The name is misleading and worth saying plainly: Elegant Sandy Oak is not a warm sand tone. The swatch is a cool, dusty mauve-grey with a distinct lilac-taupe cast over wire-brushed grain, closer to weathered driftwood than to beach sand....

Country Caramel Oak is the most varied decor in the Swish Oak Wideboard range, and the variation is the point rather than an accident. Across a laid floor it swings from warm golden-tan planks to noticeably cooler greyed-taupe ones, with...

Select is the entry point into the Swish Native Hardwood range: a 2mm hardwood wear layer on a 136mm board. On the swatch it is also the most saturated of the three Spotted Gum options: a deep caramel-orange golden brown...

Neat is the middle grade of the Swish Native Hardwood range, and choosing it over Blackbutt Natural is a decision about feature rather than colour. The swatch shows the same pale honey blonde with its soft warm-pink undertone and fine...

Spotted Gum is the most colour-variable timber in this range, and the Natural grade lets every bit of that variation through. The swatch is a warm mid golden-brown with strong caramel and orange lights, streaks of near-chocolate running through some...

Natural is a grade, not a shade, and in Blackbutt it is the most feature-rich of the three. The swatch shows the colour you would expect from the species, a pale honey blonde with a soft pinkish-tan cast and fine,...

If Spotted Gum appeals but the full ABCD spread feels too busy, Neat is the answer. The swatch keeps the species' warm golden-brown character and its caramel lights, but the extremes are pulled in: fewer near-chocolate boards, less gum vein...

Look past the word Select and check the specification, because in this range it signals two things at once. On colour, the swatch is the familiar Blackbutt palette, warm blonde with a pinkish-tan cast and fine straight grain, with a...

The lime in Limed Piccolo Oak lands on an olive base rather than a white one. Looking at the swatch, the board is a muted khaki-gold: a soft greenish mid-beige with white lime sitting visibly in the open grain pores...

Espresso Piccolo Oak is the darkest board in the Contemporary range, though it is brown rather than black. The swatch shows a rich chocolate-to-tobacco brown with clear reddish-amber lights coming through the grain and noticeable variation from board to board,...
