Hard shell, soft look: American walnut provides warmth and a sense of well-being.

Whether as an energy-rich snack after Nordic walking or as a delicious topping for homemade Bircher muesli in the morning, nuts do our bodies good. The wood of the nut trees, which give us their aromatic fruits, also provides well-being. The harmonious charisma as well as its chocolate-brown colour make walnut wood a pleasure for all senses. In addition to particularly fine parquet flooring, walnut is often used to make musical instruments or chess pieces. Bring the wood of artists into your home as a plank or ship's floor and let yourself be inspired by the seductive charm of this parquet.

The American walnut is a member of the walnut family and originally comes from eastern North America. Its dark wood shines with a dark brown or purple-brown colour. Wood defects and irregularities transform walnut wood into a parquet floor with unmistakable character. Even the annual rings of the walnut can be clearly seen in the elegant grain.

American walnut or European walnut?

In contrast to the dark walnut wood from America, the wood of the European walnut is somewhat lighter and has a slightly reddish shimmer. The colouring of the black walnut, as the American walnut is also called, is more uniform than that of its European counterpart.

A resilient wood for your floor

When choosing your new parquet, it is not only the look that matters. Because depending on the room in which you want to install the planks, the hardness of the respective wood can be decisive. Since wood is a living material straight from nature, the different types of wood do not have a fixed hardness, but rather a certain hardness range depending on their growth. In the case of American walnut, this is in the middle range. American walnut is therefore a medium-hard wood that is stable and robust and at the same time flexible and elastic.

Designing your home: What goes well with walnut parquet?

Walnut parquet gives your home a particularly homely atmosphere with its warm chocolate-brown to black-brown colour. If you combine the noble floorboards with dark wooden furniture, you will create even more cosiness within your own four walls. With individual pieces of light-coloured furniture, you can set skilful accents. Dark wallpaper goes with a walnut parquet floor just as well as wooden wall panelling. If you like it lighter, you can of course also opt for a classic white wall. In the end, it is your personal taste alone that decides. Whether ship's floor or country house plank, a parquet floor made of American walnut offers countless design options.
