If you have trouble committing to a specific style or color, shopping for hardwood floors can be a daunting task. Although it seems like trends leave as quickly as they come, choosing hardwood flooring has always been a timeless and failsafe option.
Here is a look at the latest and trends in hardwood flooring stains and styles to give your home the elegant and timeless look you desire. If you are buying an investment property, there is no better way to set it apart from the crowd than a unique and elegant hardwood floor.
European White Oak
Lighter and warmer colors for hardwood continues to be a popular trend in home decor. A wide plank (9” or above) plank can give a floor a balanced, organic texture that still has a hint of modern glow and warmth. White Oak is so popular because it has a timeless look that is unlikely to go out of style any time this century.
Dark Charcoal
Designers are choosing dark charcoal wood because of the rich accent it creates in any room. Using a wide-plank wood from floor to ground keeps the space looking elegant, and it is easy to pair furniture with this darker stain. The custom blend of three Minwax stains is absent of any red or orange tint to get a more luxurious and natural charcoal hue.
Cool Brown Walnut and Yellow Oak
Trends with both showrooms and clients are shifting away from more relaxed grey finishes that dominated most of the decade. Instead, they are moving towards more natural wood tones that reflect their wood tones. The combination of white oak with yellow undertones combines both naturally and elegantly and gives any floor a unique sense of personality.
Bright Painted Hardwood
The best part about painted hardwood is their forgiving nature. If you drop something, it is possible to paint over it as much as necessary. Many homeowners are re-painting their floors every 2-3 years to keep things lively and fresh. Colored hardwood blends are especially popular in kitchens since it tends to blend well with the amount of tile and stone. This is an excellent solution for those looking to brighten up a utilitarian space.
Graphite Hardwood
Dark stains can lift and elevate an otherwise drab tinted hardwood. This is especially true when these colors are contrasted with a light-colored wall. The darker tint can make a room feel both taller and brighter, and it has the added benefit of disguising any imperfections in the wood itself.
Soft-Hued Wide Plank Hardwood
Interior design and decor are moving towards a more adventuresome style in both materials and colorations. If you have a home with vibrant and unique decor, it should blend nicely with a textural, wide-plank soft hue finish. The natural glow and warmth of the hardwood will not only ground the entire room, but it will create a showcase for any fabrics or furnishings nearby.
