The Showroom

Photographs can only take a floor so far. Stand on full-length boards, run a hand across every finish, and see herringbone laid the way it will live in your home.

Photographs can only take a floor so far. Stand on full-length boards, run a hand across every finish, and see herringbone laid the way it will live in your home.
A wood floor is chosen with the eyes, the hands and the feet — which is why we built a showroom rather than relying on a screen. Every collection is here in full-size boards, not small offcuts: engineered oak in wide planks, herringbone and chevron laid as finished panels, and our bespoke colours matched in front of you.
LIGNORA is a family business, and the showroom works the way we do — unhurried, honest, and without a single salesperson on commission. Come in with a photo of your room and leave with samples, straight answers and a clear idea of cost.
Samples and screens flatten what a real floor does with light. The showroom exists so you can judge our oak the only way that matters — full boards, true scale, under your own feet.
Every collection is displayed in complete boards laid as floors — not hand samples on a rack. Walk across wide-plank oak flooring, feel the difference between brushed, oiled and lacquered surfaces, and see how each finish behaves as the light moves through the day.
Pattern floors are impossible to judge from a single block. Ours are assembled into finished panels so you can stand back and see the geometry as it will read across a whole room — parquet at its full effect, before a single board is ordered.
Bring a cabinet door, a fabric swatch or a photograph of the room. Our bespoke service can tone a finish toward it while you wait — the same process behind the twenty-seven colours of our Bespoke Collection, applied to your home.
Walk-ins are always welcome — book ahead for a dedicated one-to-one with a specialist, or for Sunday visits.
Rough dimensions and a few photos of the space are all we need to talk honestly about quantities, layout direction and budget — our cost guide is a useful read beforehand.
Concrete, joists or underfloor heating — each changes what we’d recommend. If you know what’s under your current floor, the advice gets sharper. If not, we’ll help you find out.
Take full swatches home free of charge and live with them for a few days — morning light tells you things showroom light can’t. Can’t make it in person? We post free samples anywhere in the UK.
Walk-ins are welcome Monday to Saturday during opening hours. For a dedicated one-to-one consultation — or a Sunday visit — book ahead on 07380 458 062 so the right specialist is here to meet you.
Yes — every visitor can take full swatch samples home free of charge, so you can judge the boards in your own light. If you can’t visit, we post free samples anywhere in the UK.
Full-length boards laid underfoot rather than photographed, herringbone and chevron assembled as finished panels, every finish side by side, and bespoke colours matched in front of you while you wait.
Most visits take 30–45 minutes. A full design consultation — including bespoke colour matching and guidance on quotation and installation — typically takes about an hour.
We’re in Islington, London, with easy access from across London and the South East. Full directions are sent with every booking confirmation, or call us and we’ll point you in.
Somewhere on our floor is the board you have been picturing. Come and stand on it — or send an enquiry and we will bring the samples to you.
