Sienna normally means a deep earthy red-brown, so this decor needs a plain correction: Sunlit Sienna is a soft, light blush-tan, a warm biscuit oak with a faint apricot undertone and nothing like the depth the name implies. It is...

Natural Canvas is the light neutral of the Handcrafted trio, a warm greige-oatmeal with pale limed grain lifting through the hand-worked surface. It is the most restrained colour of the three and the easiest to build a room around, sitting...

Misty Quartz sounds like a pale, cool, almost white stone colour, so the actual board is a step darker than expected: a mid grey-taupe mushroom with a cool green-grey cast running through the hand-worked grain. It is the deepest of...

Raw Leaf is the most unusual colour in the Swish Oak Natura range and the one that justifies its name. It is a pale greenish-khaki beige, an oatmeal body with a soft olive cast that becomes obvious the moment you...

Raw Caramel is a properly saturated warm golden-brown, deeper and more tobacco-toned than French Natural and a good deal warmer and richer than Belfort Oak. The grain is smooth and clearly drawn rather than heavily brushed, and the colour holds...

Oyster usually implies something pale, so it is worth flagging that Oyster Grey is one of the deeper decors in the Natura range. The swatch is a mid-to-dark warm mushroom grey with pronounced wire-brushed grain and strong figure, the darkest...

Odense Grey is lighter than a true grey and warmer than you might expect: a light cool greige with a definite pink-lilac undertone and white limed grain running through it, closer to weathered stone than to charcoal. Within the Natura...

Oak Grey Harmony is what most people actually mean when they ask for a grey timber floor, and unlike several of its neighbours the name is accurate. It is an even mid neutral grey, neither blue nor mauve nor brown,...

Oak Dove Grey is the clearest case in this range of a name that will send you the wrong way. Dove grey suggests a soft pale grey; the actual swatch is a warm greyed tan, a light tobacco oak with...

Nordic Spring is the palest and coolest decor in the Swish Oak Natura range, a very light white-grey with a faint blue cast that keeps it firmly on the cool side of neutral. The grain is soft and low in...

Nordic Limed is a very pale soft grey-white with a faint warm beige running underneath, the classic limed oak look where white pigment sits in the grain and lifts the whole board. It is the second lightest decor in the...

French Natural is the straightforward golden oak of the Natura range, a warm honey-amber with the grain left clear and open so the timber reads as timber. It is more saturated and more obviously golden than Belfort Oak, and lighter...

French Ghost is not the pale, almost-white floor the name suggests. The swatch is a mid greyed mushroom-taupe with a definite brown undertone, several shades deeper than any of the light decors in this range and closer to a warm...

French Carbon is the darkest decor in the Natura range and the coolest of the dark options. It is a deep charcoal grey with a brown undertone carried through the grain, approaching near-black on the darker boards while staying recognisably...

Fiano Brown is the richest, warmest dark decor in the Swish Oak Natura range. The body is a deep tobacco-chocolate brown with golden and faintly red highlights lifting through the grain, glossier and more saturated than anything else in the...

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...

Canyon suggests warm desert red, so the actual colour is a surprise: Canyon Oak is a mid dusty mauve-brown, a greyed taupe with white limed grain lifting through it and no red or orange in the body at all. It...

Belfort Oak is a light warm greige, a soft biscuit-tan with a thin grey wash sitting over the top that keeps it from turning golden. It is gentler and less saturated than French Natural, and warmer and more brown than...

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...

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...

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...

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...
