Keeping up with style in your home is crucial for your happiness and in the event that you want to sell it but considering that wood floors are a major selling point, keeping up with wood flooring trends is crucial.
At Rees Powell Custom Floors, we’re here to share some insights into the latest trends that homeowners are adopting with updating their hardwood flooring.
Natural & Neutral Tones are Making a Comeback
Gray wood floors have been popular for the last few years, but homeowners are starting to feel stagnant with the pale and uninspired color choice. Natural tones are starting to become increasing popular. They add a brightness to the rooms they’re in, showcase the unique grains, and even make a room feel bigger.
Wider Planks
While most homes feature narrow planks all tightly squeezed together, wider planks are starting to become used more often. While wider planks result in less wood being used in installation, they can help serve to make a room appear bigger. They also showcase more of the natural grain, giving the room a rustic look.
Reclaimed & Sustainable Wood Flooring
A lot of homeowners are seeking to make their home more sustainable. While there are plenty of energy-efficient options for windows and appliances, opting for reclaimed or sustainable wood flooring can be a major benefit.
On top of reducing waste by choosing reclaimed wood, this option adds a rustic and weathered look to the room.
Mixed-Width Patterns
While most wood floors feature identical planks that give the floor a uniform look, choosing mixed-width planks adds character and a unique pattern to the flooring. It’s perfect for any farmhouse-style décor—giving your flooring a custom and hand-crafted appearance.
Herringbone & Chevron Wood Flooring
While traditional wood floor installation patterns are timeless, taking a unique approach to the installation can help elevate the look and feel of a room. Embracing a herringbone or chevron installation with your wood flooring can help add a luxurious appearance and feeling to a room.
Light & Dark Coloring for Your Wood Floors
There are two different hue spectrums to take with your wood floor coloring. Dark flooring, like espresso or charcoal can be a great option to go with that complements lighter-colored furniture.
Opting for lighter coloring for your wood floors, like whitewashed or bleached wood can give your home not only a modern aesthetic, but it brightens up the room, allowing the floors to drink up natural light.
