New trends in hardwood are simply smarter
New trends in hardwood are simply smarter
(NC)—While hardwood floors are always in style, trends in colour, species and even the size of planks are changing. Simply put, hardwood has never looked or been more appealing.
Wider. Longer.
There is a growing demand for the unequalled beauty of longer, wider hardwood flooring. These prestigious boards showcase the wood’s grain and add flow and sophistication to your space.
Matte. Informal.
While bigger can be better when it comes to the size of the plank, less is more when it comes to the finish. Matte, informal finishes give a natural, “lived-in, lived-on” feel. Combine this with the popularity of rustic floors with artisan touches, and hardwood is returning to its historic roots.
Lighter. Rarer.
Hardwood is undergoing a shift in colour. More and more, designers are moving away from dark stains and selecting mid-tone floors for their clients. Classic browns are also moving over to make room for warm, smoky greys. Not only is colour important, but so is the species. Hardwood floors come in wonderful species such as walnut, ash, cherry and ‘exotics’ such as wenge, etimoe andiroko. These uniquely striking species feature beautiful grains and interesting markings, giving floors distinct character.

TIP BOX
Three tips for selecting the right hardwood for you:
1 Find a look you love that complements the woodwork in your home.
2 Hardwood is a long-term investment. Purchase a good quality hardwood that will look beautiful over time.
3 Not all warranties are created equal. Read the warranty details and compare warranties with other brands. Some warranties are pro-rated meaning they don’t give 100% of the replacement value should floor planks split or warp or the finish wears out.
