Indulging in a seaside getaway hasn’t been the easiest of tasks this past year. So if you want to capture the coastal vibe in your own home, Woodpecker Flooring has the perfect solution.
Inspired by the wonderful colours found along Britain’s coastlines, Woodpecker’s Salcombe range, named after one of the prettiest towns in South Devon, uses an age-old smoking and brushing technique to create beautiful floor boards reminiscent of the coast.
Chalked Oak is evocative of sun-bleached driftwood with their bright white hues and ashen undertones, while Moonbeam Oak is inspired by evening light which dances along the surface of the sea.
Darwyn Ker, Managing Director of Woodpecker Flooring, said: “Smoking the wood awakens the natural tannins in the timber, creating more complexity than a simple stained board and adding a new dimension to your floor.
“Whether you want to create a light and airy look to capture that wonderful beach house vibe, or replicate the delicate beauty of a sunset retreat, there is a floor to suit all décor styles.”

Editors notes
Woodpecker is a family-run business with a heritage in the timber industry that goes back three generations.
Founded nearly 50 years ago by Bruce Ker, a skilled craftsman who loved teaching people how to work with wood, the Woodpecker tradition is continued today by his son Nelson and grandson Darwyn.
Since the very beginning, Woodpecker have been passionate about designing and sourcing the finest wooden floors. Their dedication starts in the forest. Woodpecker only use responsibly sourced wood with full FSC® or PEFC certifications, selecting the trees before they are felled and paying close attention to how they are sawn, stacked and dried.
The dry wood is then kilned twice for maximum stability before being machined. Centuries-old hand-finishing techniques - such as lacquering, oiling and antiquing the wood - further enhance its natural beauty. It’s fair to say, nobody knows or cares more about wood than Woodpecker.
Headquartered in Caerphilly, Woodpecker currently offer over 60 flooring options in real wood, engineered wood and bamboo which retails online and at nationwide stockists.
