There’s a lot of talk about texture in hotel interiors, but it’s easy to think of that as a textiles conversation: boucle chairs, heavy curtains, woven headboards, rugs underfoot. The floor is part of it too.
Timber already brings texture into a room before anything soft is added. Grain, brushing, saw marks, plank width and finish all change how the rest of the scheme feels. A smooth oak floor can disappear quietly into the background. A more heavily worked surface does the opposite. That’s where things get interesting.
