Seriously? That first one is clearly the output of a texture generator, which some clueless person decided to label "hammered metal". The second one, also clearly not a photograph, is even worse. Looks more like pebbles than metal.

I have to agree with ZylonBane on those textures. They really don't seem quite right to me either. Maybe I'll try to conjure something up...

The woods don't convince me. The panel lacks depth, and the the parquets don't look like wood for some reason. One thing, nail heads should be iron colored not wood colored, and should never be large. The should look like someone took a nailset and sank them slightly into the floor. I think secret nailing would only be for the poshest of floors.

If you are going for a pegged floor look, where the pegs hide the nails, then the pegs should be a contrasting wood to the floor boards. They can be round or square.

Herringbone can be flush or have depth. It looks like you want yours to be pegged. I wasn't able to find any RL examples of that. Is that how the LGS texture is?

Unfortunately like a lot of modern fake hammered metal sheets, this looks like a sheet of metal was run through a metal press with a hammered metal form rather than actually hammered. You can see what real hammered metal looks like if you look at some hand crafted jewelry. Note how the indentations are shallower and more irregular in shape. This is still decorative hammering, but it was, at least, created by actual hammering. If the the texture is intended as a merely decorative hammered metal, then all bets are off, but if the hammering is intended to be seen as having been manually done and integral to the actual forming of the metal, then more random, less uniform, and less overdone indentations should be considered.
