We've just bought some new furniture for our combined living and dining room from this range - www.marksandspencer.com/l/home-and-furniture/shop-by-range/living-room-collections/naseby-living-room-collection It's described as knotty oak with exposed joint details. We are trying to choose engineered wood or good quality laminate now to go with it but are as bit stuck. We thought maybe grey oak or a polished type to contrast with the cottagey furniture. Please help!
