Combine colors

By laying the planks parallel and perpendicular to the wall, you can get a completely different look when using different complementary shades. Ask your supplier for advice on creating this casual look by matching the shades or adding a color that will highlight your furniture.

Vary the lengths

You might be able to cut down on the price by investing in some more reasonably priced, click system laminate that doesn’t look dissimilar to parquet as suggested on http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/space_flooring.shtml.

Create patterns at an angle

Try laying the planks at a 45-degree angle to the wall and make sure that you neatly shape the edges that go against the wall. Although the planks are lightweight, you might want to call in a favor from a friend who knows their way around tools.
