  Flooring does more than cover a surface—it shapes how a room feels. In smaller spaces, the width and length of planks can influence whether a room appears open and airy or compact and enclosed. Choosing the right plank size is as much about design as it is about function. Below is a breakdown of common plank sizes and how they work in small rooms. Narrow Planks: 3.25" with Random Lengths (20", 40", 60") Narrow planks are the most traditional style. Their slim width creates more seams across the floor, which can visually expand a small room. Random lengths add variation, giving the surface a natural and timeless feel. 👉 Good for: Smaller bedrooms, hallways, or classic interiors where detail matters. Medium Planks: 7" x 48" Medium planks are a balanced option that works in almost any small space. They’re long enough to elongate the room but not so wide that they overwhelm it. This makes them one of the most versatile choices for compact areas....
