While truly timeless hardwood flooring does evolve to meet current needs and design trends. Here are some of the current trends now available:
- Wide and mixed width planks increasing the sense of space and creating interest
- Flooring is being laid increasingly in patterns from simple angles to vintage herring bone and chevron parquet designs.
- Colour extremes are on trend. Dark stains and cooler calming grey tones bring sophistication and elegance to a home. Natural colours bring out the natural beauty and grains of a wood and brightens spaces.
- Vintage and rustic finishes are trending. Hand scraped, wire brushed, and beaten floors provide ageing and hide marks.
- Low sheen or flat finishes are currently more popular than high gloss.
- Hardwood floors that are sourced locally, sustainably, and/or reclaimed.
Today’s hardwood options easily fit into a myriad of design styles from classical to transitional to modern and rustic variations of each.
