When we think of flooring materials, our minds often go straight to what’s under our feet — hardwood, laminate, tile, or vinyl. But what if we told you that flooring materials could be just as impactful when used away from the floor? At Frankly Flooring, we’re passionate about helping customers see the versatility of our products, not just their functionality.
Statement Walls That Wow
Wood and laminate planks, usually reserved for floors, make stunning statement walls. Whether you’re aiming for a rustic vibe with reclaimed wood or a clean, modern finish with sleek laminate, these materials offer warmth and texture to any space. Wood cladding is particularly popular in bedrooms and living rooms, offering an inviting atmosphere with a touch of luxury.
Headboards with Character
Create a bespoke headboard by repurposing engineered wood or luxury vinyl tiles (LVT). This is a great way to tie in the flooring with the bedroom’s overall aesthetic, creating cohesion and a sense of design intentionality. Plus, it’s a budget-friendly alternative to buying a custom bed frame.
Kitchen Island Facades
Looking to add a bit of flair to your kitchen? Try using tiles or wood panels to wrap around the base of your kitchen island. This small detail can elevate the room’s design while harmonising with your floor for a seamless look.
Ceiling Accents
A bold move for the creatively inclined, applying wood planks to the ceiling (also known as a “fifth wall”) creates an unexpected design moment. Ideal for dining rooms or home offices, this technique draws the eye upward and adds architectural interest.
Stylish Stair Risers
Another great place for decorative tiles or vinyl is on stair risers. This playful and stylish detail can make even the most ordinary staircase feel special, adding character and personality.
