Do you want to stand out from the crowd? Do you want to choose bold design choices that will bring your home’s interior décor to the next level? Then it would be best if you were thinking about inspiring installation patterns.
By choosing from an array of different floor patterns, you can make your home pop. Hardwood floor patterns are becoming more popular and for good reason. Not only do they offer distinct styles, but they also complement the furniture.
Types and Characteristics of Various Installation Patterns
The most common flooring installation patterns tend to be straight. A straight pattern uses boards aligned in a standard form and probably how any hardwood floors in your home now are aligned. But there are other patterns like Chevron, Herringbone, Parque, and Geometric.
Chevron style and Herringbone put the boards on an angle, while Parque and Geometric use right angles. A specialist can help show you any hardwood floor patterns you may be interested in should you have any questions.
Parquet is a bold choice.
Choosing Board Width
When choosing the board’s width, wider planks tend to be considered more luxurious and expensive. However, the wider the plank, the more it will expand and contract. You can prevent warping by using engineered wood for wide plank flooring. When you choose the right width, you also will help accentuate the proportions of the room size.
If you have a smaller room, you may find that skinnier boards tend to make a more bold statement, whereas wider boards get lost in the mix. Depending on your budget and preferences, you can work with the hardwood specialist to choose the right width and flooring installation patterns.
