Remy Nut - Kitchen Hallway Combo - Residential home in North Yorkshire

A Warm, Contemporary Transformation Using Remy Nut Wood-Effect Porcelain

When homeowners want the welcoming character of timber without the maintenance worries, wood-effect porcelain becomes a game-changing solution. In this North Yorkshire residential project, our Remy Nut Plank (1200×240×8.5mm) and Remy Nut Herringbone (450×75×8.5mm) tiles were used to create two visually connected, yet beautifully distinct, spaces. As shown in the images, the result is a cohesive, design-led interior that blends durability, authenticity, and timeless warmth.

Using the same colourway across different formats allows homeowners and designers to zone spaces subtly while maintaining a unified design language. This project is a perfect example of how wood-effect porcelain can bring warmth, elegance, and long-term performance into modern homes, especially where practicality is non-negotiable.

Whether you're styling a hallway, kitchen, or open-plan living space, Remy Nut provides a timeless palette and flexible layout possibilities that work across design styles, from Scandinavian calm to rustic contemporary.

In the kitchen, a room that demands practicality as much as style, the clients opted for the Remy Nut Plank format. The longer, wider boards elongate the room, creating a relaxed, contemporary flow. Their rich nut-brown tones pair effortlessly with modern cabinetry, brushed metals, natural stone worktops, and layered lighting schemes.

Choosing porcelain wood-effect flooring in the kitchen ensures:

• Easy cleaning and resistance to spills, stains, and scratches

• Dimensional stability, no warping or fading

• A consistent finish even in bright, busy, or humid areas

• A design continuity that echoes traditional timber flooring, but with none of the upkeep and maintenance

Together, the plank and herringbone formats demonstrate how a single tile collection can offer versatility without visual conflict.

The hallway sets the tone for the entire home, and this client chose to make a strong first impression with our Remy Nut Herringbone tiles. The classic herringbone layout instantly elevates the entrance, lending architectural interest and a refined, boutique-interiors feel.

Because these tiles are porcelain, they offer:

• Outstanding durability for high-traffic areas

• Moisture resistance — ideal for UK weather

• A real-wood aesthetic thanks to high-definition grain detailing

• Compatibility with underfloor heating systems

The herringbone pattern adds movement and texture, guiding visitors through the space while maintaining a natural, organic warmth.
