17th August 2026 | IN PRODUCT NEWS | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn Karndean Commercial, the UK’s trusted supplier of luxury vinyl flooring, has updated its popular Van Gogh collection with six new nature-led designs and an innovative parquet-style Pavilion Panel format. Curated to make it easier than ever for designers to meet the growing demand for characterful yet accessible flooring, the refreshed collection has been shaped by a deep respect for material provenance and offers a refined portfolio ideal for calming biophilic spaces that focus on connectivity and wellbeing. Honey Apres Oak Indy Urban Elm Featuring balanced tones for sophisticated modern spaces, luxurious details, and premium finishes, the updated Van Gogh collection welcomes new Après Oak, Urban Elm and Prime Oak designs in a choice of formats, giving designers greater flexibility to create interiors that feel authentic, timeless, and emotionally engaging. Honey Apres Oak Richard Allen, VP of sales for commercial at Karndean Commercial, said: “Our new Van Gogh designs offer our strongest aesthetic identity yet. Each design is rooted in genuine material inspiration and has been carefully curated to deliver cohesive design stories that translate effortlessly into the latest interior trends. “We have also taken the opportunity to simplify and refine the Van Gogh collection, creating a more intentional and easier-to-navigate collection. The refreshed palette offers clearer differentiation and a more balanced spread of tones, helping designers make decisions faster and specify with greater confidence.” Natural Prime Oak Truffle Prime Oak & Palazzo Marble Drawing inspiration from original samples selected for their character, rarity and long-term relevance, the collection introduces new natural wood tones and authentic textures. With outstanding versatility to create intriguing and engaging interiors, the new Van Gogh collection offers craftsmanship rooted in the serenity of nature and refined design. Indy Urban Elm The new Après Oak collection, inspired by Bavarian oak from southern Germany and the drama of its alpine origins, is available in three colourways: Honey Après Oak, Cocoa Après Oak and Sable Après Oak. Spanning honeyed gold and caramel tones through to rich tobacco hues, each design benefits from a new directional emboss which enhances authenticity and highlights the distinctive character of the wood, while a new Pavilion Panel offers designers fresh options for introducing layers of visual interest. Cocoa Apres Oak Honey Apres Oak Inspired by the fields, forests and rolling hills of Indianapolis and celebrating the expressive grain and organic appeal of a now-rare species, Indy Urban Elm showcases its rural roots through a distinctive varied grain and imperfections that feel entirely natural. Rich in character, this design introduces a grounding warmth that sits comfortably within contemporary interiors. Indy Urban Elm Building on the popularity of the existing Natural Prime Oak design, Van Gogh’s summer 2026 update expands the collection with two new colourways. Truffle Prime Oak introduces striking tonal variation, blending fresh ash-beige highlights with rich chocolate-brown accents to create a comforting foundation in soft neutral spaces, while Linen Prime Oak offers a lighter, more understated aesthetic for a refined backdrop in restrained rustic interiors. Sables Apres Oak Each new design is available in both full plank (48″ x 7″) and herringbone (18″ x 4.5″) formats, with the three Après Oaks also available in a 24″ x 24″ Pavilion Panel, designed to deliver the appearance of an intricate parquet floor without the complexity of installation. Truffle Prime Oak With a practical 3mm thickness and robust 0.55mm wear layer, the latest Van Gogh designs deliver all the durability and ease of installation that commercial specifiers expect from the Karndean brand. Truffle Prime Oak The refreshed collection also supports responsible specification through low VOC credentials that help protect indoor air quality, alongside long-lasting surface protection that reduces reliance on harsh cleaning chemicals. As part of Karndean Commercial’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and product longevity, specifiers also benefit from a take-back scheme for clean installation offcuts and up to 20 years’ product warranty in commercial environments.
