Silence has color. New Woodric shades in the Select style.

New Arbiton Woodric Shades

In 2026, the Arbiton Woodric collection isn't simply expanding its color palette. Woodric is changing. And it's doing so consciously.

In recent years, flooring has often been the strongest element of an interior – distinct grain patterns, contrasts, rustic cracks, bold hues. Eye-catching? Yes. But the design world isn't standing still. Today, it's increasingly clear that the industry is turning away from excess. Instead of flashiness, there's balance. Instead of decorative overkill, there's material honesty.

This isn't a passing fad. Change is happening simultaneously in furniture boards, doors, ceramics, and wall panels. Wood is becoming calmer. The grain is cleaner, more linear, less rustic. Surfaces are no longer dominating the space – they're supporting it. The new Woodric collection was created precisely at this turning point.

When designing it, we focused on balance. For decors that don't compete with the furniture, lighting, and interior architecture, but rather create a backdrop for them. This wood is more "select," more subtle, more mature, free from excessive contrasts and aggressive cracks. Less decorative chaos, more cohesiveness," says Miłosz Matelski of Miastoprojekty, co-creator of the collection.

Color has also changed. The era of clear, cool grays is clearly fading. In their place are shades more rooted in nature: taupe, beige, cashmere, greige. These are warmer, more flexible colors, easier to combine with natural materials, fabrics, stone, and metal. Neutral—but not cold. Subdued—but not bland. Woodric 2026 is a response to this transformation. The update focuses primarily on color and surface expression. The wood is visually cleaner, less rustic, more "calmed." Where knots or micro-details appear, they are subtle and controlled. Where the grain pattern creates rhythm, it does so softly, without excessive contrast. This is a collection designed for interiors intended to last more than one season. Spaces where the floor doesn't need to prove its presence—it simply creates atmosphere. Woodric has changed because the way it designs has changed. Today, we're looking for harmony, not a five-minute "wow" effect. We're looking for materials that are a backdrop to life, not its main character. And that's precisely what this new collection is all about.

CRAFTED - a completely different take on oak planks

Cashmere Oak resonates particularly strongly within the CRAFTED trend – a decor that subtly showcases today's "calmed" wood. It's a shade of soft, muted beige with a delicate touch of ash and warm gray. It's neither cold nor overtly honey-colored. It's balanced. And it's precisely this balance that gives it its strength. Cashmere Oak has a touch of hand-crafted material; the grain is clean, but not sterile. You can see the structure, the brushwork, yet everything remains under control. It's a wood with character, but not overdone. Instead of stark contrasts, there's a calm, matte elegance. Instead of rustic cracks, a refined surface creates the atmosphere of the interior without imposing style. This decor works beautifully in light, natural arrangements – with stone, linen fabric, warm white walls, or olive green. It gives designers freedom. It's a backdrop, but a noble one. He doesn't shout. Rather... he talks in a whisper.

LINEAR, a new classic. A favorite of the Woodric 2026 collection

In this collection, there's one group that has generated the most interest from the start: LINEAR. And it's no wonder.

It's a return to structured wood. Without excessive decorativeness, without exaggerated contrasts, without an overly "cut" pattern. The grain is rhythmic, calm, and naturally flowing. The overall effect is refined, but not overly elaborate. This is wood that conveys a sense of order.

Como Oak is a very balanced color. Neutral, but not cold. Warm, but not honey-colored. Consistent throughout, without abrupt tonal transitions. It works well in bright interiors, but also excels in more contrasting combinations. It's a decor that doesn't impose a style—it allows you to build one.

Silva Oak brings more light. It has a subtle note of classic oak, yet without any yellow tones. The grain is clean, lightly brushed, with a subtle rhythm of the grain. The effect is calm and natural. The floor doesn't become the main focus of the interior, but provides a distinct base.

LINEAR responds to the need for simplicity. Less visual noise, more harmony. And that's precisely why this group has quickly become the strongest point of the entire collection.

SELECT, pure form, pure material

The SELECT group is the most "purified" version of Woodric 2026. There's no room for decorative accents, prominent knots, or stark contrasts. This is a style based on simplicity and control of grain, wood in its most structured form.

Genova Oak captures the natural character of oak in a warm, calm tone. The grain is soft, flowing, and free from excessive ornamentation. The light, neutral color palette harmonizes well with modern interior design. It doesn't attempt to imitate aged wood, nor does it attempt to be rustic. It's a material of the "here and now," honest, pure, and refined.

Lorenzo Oak brings more light. It's a light, natural shade with subtle beige gradations and a subtle hint of warmth. The absence of yellow tones keeps the decor elegant and fresh. The lightly brushed texture adds depth without creating visual chaos. The overall effect is light and airy.

SELECT is a wood without excess. No cracks, no excessive contrasts, no special effects. Instead, clean lines, balanced color, and consistency allow for long-term interior design without fear of the trend quickly becoming stale.

COMMERCIAL - Cordoba Oak

Cordoba Oak is a décor that combines warmth and practical robustness. In this collection, it serves as a stronger color accent, but without being overly stark. This oak features fashionable amber tones, with a distinct yet controlled brushing.

The wood grain is clear, slightly defined, and features subtle micro-knots. There are no heavy cracks or aggressive contrasts. The overall impression is of a refined surface that stands up well to more intensive use, in both residential and commercial spaces.

Cordoba Oak works well in interiors with a more assertive character: with graphite, black, warm brown, or industrial details. It adds a touch of depth and color to the space without disrupting its cohesiveness. This is a choice for those who want a warm floor without a rustic weight.

NEW RUSTIC, character in a new guise

The New Rustic approach in this collection doesn't mean a return to heavy, raw wood with stark cracks and contrasts. It's a more mature interpretation of rusticity. Calmer, more controlled, closer to the natural aging of the material than to decorative overstatement. The cracks are subtle, and the contrast is less pronounced.

Glenmore Oak is a more distinctive option. Its softly flowing grain, delicate brushing, and subtle knots lend it a genuine feel. The color is subtle—neither typically warm nor cool. This makes it suitable for both classic and more contemporary interiors. It's a decor with expression, yet without aggression.

Weston Oak leans towards a lighter, sandy oak with a hint of olive-gray tone. It features natural color transitions and soft differences in the planks, yet everything remains consistent in its palette. It creates the effect of wood "touched by time" without being overly aged. It gives the impression of a material that matures with the interior.

New Rustic is a style for those who want to introduce a more natural feel to their space, but without chaos. The wood has a story here, but it's told calmly. Character is present—just in a more balanced form.

Summary

Woodric 2026 isn't a revolution for change's sake. It's a natural step towards maturity. Fewer effects, more meaning. Less decorative intensity, more space for interior design. The new collection demonstrates that flooring doesn't have to dominate to build character. It can be calm, clean in its design, set in warm, earthy tones, and therefore timeless. Linear provides an orderly base. Select emphasizes purity and material honesty. Crafted brings a soft, handmade touch. New Rustic retains character, but in a more balanced form. Each group responds to a different design approach, but all share a common theme: harmony.

The market has changed. The expectations of designers and clients have shifted. Interiors have become calmer, more conscious, and less seasonal. Woodric is responding to this change with a thoughtful evolution.

And that's precisely why this collection has the potential to be with us for the long haul.
