Design style determines hardwood flooring

 

Match your hardwood flooring selection to harmonize with your existing interior design style to avoid glaring or harsh style combinations.

 

 

Floors anchor the interior design

Flooring is one of the most important interior design elements for an interior space because it provides the visual foundation for your rooms.  The color you choose can have a dramatic influence on the mood or feeling of a room.  Your decorating style preferences should be your largest influence on floor color selection.

 

Contemporary / Modern style

Defined by clean lines, neutral elements and bold yet simple coloring.  The simplicity of line, shape and form dominate this design style. Natural earth tones and muted colors combined with bold high contrast colors create a clean and sleek interior space. Use lighter grain woods to maintain clean lines, neutral earth tones, light tones, and even bold colors work well to accentuate the modern interior style.

Maple | Creme | French Red Oak  

 

Traditional style

Defined by an updated comfortable version of the past, blending understated details, mid range colors, fabrics, textures, and darker colored floors.

Use of bold grain textures is common, accentuated planks, and colors gravitating towards darker tones.

Butterscotch | Gunstock | Sedona maple  

 

Country style

Think simple farm house life.  Highly personalized style, eclectic mixing and matching of antiques and accent treasures, simple wood furniture designs, painted furniture and rustic planks.

Colonial style

American Colonial style from 1730 to 1790 blends classical English Georgian elements and new world accents creating a traditional yet relaxed feeling.  Lots of books, carpets, wood paneling and wainscoting dominate, with simple pine flooring planks.
