Balterio Lyra Walnut Harvest Oak is a warm brown oak-effect vinyl floor with a natural look that's easy to work into both modern and more traditional interiors. Despite the Walnut Harvest name, the design itself is based on oak, with warm brown colouring rather than the much darker appearance normally associated with walnut flooring.
This is one of the wider and thicker plank options in the Balterio Lyra collection. Each plank is 228mm wide and 6mm thick, giving the floor a broader board appearance than the narrower 180mm Lyra designs.
The Elegant Wood texture adds character across the surface, while bevelled edges on all four sides give the individual planks more definition once fitted. There are eight different plank designs within the décor to introduce natural variation across the finished floor.

At 1220 x 228mm, Walnut Harvest Oak has a noticeably wider plank than the 180mm designs elsewhere in the Lyra collection.
That extra width changes the character of the floor. Wider boards give more space to see the oak design within each individual plank and can work particularly well across larger living areas, kitchens and open-plan spaces.
The colour itself sits comfortably within the natural oak family. It's brown and warm without being an especially dark floor, making it a useful option if you want more depth than a pale oak but don't want to move towards a deep brown design.
Warm whites, creams and neutral interiors are natural partners, although we'd also consider this colour alongside darker kitchens and furniture where you want the flooring to provide some warmth and contrast.
There's more than a colour difference between the Lyra designs.
Walnut Harvest Oak is 6mm thick and carries a Class 33 classification. It also comes with a 20-year domestic warranty and a 5-year commercial warranty, compared with the different specification of the 5mm Lyra options.
The planks use a Rigid Click installation system and are water resistant. They're also suitable for use with underfloor heating and underfloor cooling.
Balterio's Superguard Gold surface protection provides additional protection to the surface of the floor, while R9 slip resistance completes the practical specification.
This is a good Lyra colour if you want something that simply looks like a warm, natural oak floor.
It's neither particularly pale nor particularly dark, and that's part of its appeal. You aren't committing the room to a strong grey, whitewashed or deep brown flooring colour, which leaves plenty of freedom when choosing furniture and decorating around it.
We also like the wider 228mm plank. On a natural oak design like this, the additional width gives the wood effect more room to show and should be particularly effective when the flooring is running through a larger area.
If you've seen the name Walnut Harvest Oak and are expecting a dark walnut-style floor, we'd recommend ordering a sample first. The actual décor is an oak design with a warm brown, natural appearance.
