Designing a floor that matches your style and personality
Hardwood flooring has unlimited possibilities. Between a classic tongue and groove oak floor and an elaborately designed parquet floor, there are millions of possibilities. If you are looking for hardwood floors that are unique to your home and speak to your style and personality, here are some hardwood flooring styles to inspire you.
Unique patterns
One way to make your hardwood floors stand out and add some character to your home is to create unique patterns. Parquet flooring allows you almost unlimited possibilities to create a geometrical pattern that is designed specifically to fit your home. Laying your hardwood floors in intricate patterns is typically reserved for a room that is ornate and glamorous, but you can choose a more simple and casual pattern that will elevate the look of your living room, without making it so fancy you don’t want to walk on it.
Painting your floors
Parquet flooring may cost a bit more because of the detail involved in laying a geometric pattern. However, there are simpler ways to create a pattern or a unique color. You can paint your plank flooring. Painting your floors gives you a unique opportunity to make your floors your own. If you change your mind, your floors can be refinished and renewed, allowing you to create something new.
Playing with texture
When you lay parquet floors, you are creating a very specific pattern and design, but they can seem very formal. You can create interesting design and texture by allowing your wood to create the pattern naturally. Most wood will vary a bit in color and tone from board to board. Instead of using a stain to make everything even, you can celebrate the diversity within the wood, and give the room some texture.

Elegant and warm
You can tone down your floors and make them warmer and elegant by using a stain to make the floors one even color. For a more glamorous and elegant style, go for a darker stain with a bit of a shine. However, if you want to go for a natural farmhouse style floor, try a matte finish. A matte finish will make the floors feel more natural and organic.
