2Top Hardwood Flooring in Trends
While carpet may still be the flooring of choice
in a lot of homes, the amount of homes that are
installing hardwood floors has risen over the
last 5-10 years and continues to grow today. If
you are looking to add genuine resale value and
even more importantly, beauty to your home,
installing hardwood flooring is the answer.
The hardwood installed in most homes until the
last few years have been 2 ¼ inch solid hardwood,
usually oak. That is changing. Today, the size,
species and color palette for todays homeowner
has grown dramatically.
3Wide Plank
- Homeowners are definitely moving away from the
traditional 2 ¼ inch hardwoods. 3 ¼ inch, 5
inch, even 7 inch wide planks are rapidly gaining
in popularity. If you want to make your living
space more modern, go with a wider plank, even
consider doing your floors with wood of varied
widths. Wide planks add depth to a room, making
it feel larger, rustic and contemporary.
4Dark Hardwood
- And when we say dark, we mean dark. Ebony and
jacobean are popular stains along with espresso.
The deep color is a contemporary and classic look
that offsets light decor beautifully. The dark
color can be more difficult to clean and maintain
since it shows scratches more easily, but on the
other hand, it camouflages imperfections better.
5Gray Hardwood
- Gray has been popping up all over interior design
trends, in magazine ads and in showrooms. It is
the new neutral, but it is so different and
unexpected that it is having a harder time
gaining a foothold especially in the flooring
market in our region. People want to see it, but
usually will turn back to more traditional wood
colors.
6Whitewashed
- Whitewashed finishes are not the same as the
whitewashed fences and buildings you remember
from your childhood. These are very elegant
high-end floors that are a great addition to any
home, but like gray hardwood have not really
caught on in Southeastern Pennsylvania. For
those who own a summer beach cottage, it is a
very popular choice.
7Engineered vs. Solid
- The advancements in the construction of
engineered woods are making this a popular choice
for many homeowners, especially when comparing it
with laminates however, in our area, solid
hardwoods are still the first choice for the
majority of homeowners.
