Wood flooring trends are blending sophisticated design with natural beauty. It’s a nice balance between something that is methodically planned out, while still keeping the look and feel of your wood floors organic. Using reclaimed wood or distressed wood and laying them in intricate patterns in natural sophistication at it’s finest.

Parquet hardwood floors

Parquet flooring is going to have a bigger presence in 2018 flooring design. Using your reclaimed or distressed wood and laying it in geometric patterns will create a unique flooring design. With parquet hardwood floors you can take warm organic floors and elevate their natural beauty.

Wide plank flooring

A parquet floor comes with an air of sophistication, but you can add some warmth to parquet floor by using wider planks. Wide planks will make your wood floors mature and authentically rustic. Mixing parquet with wide planks gives you farm-house chic.

Distressed wood flooring

Distressed hardwood will add to the authenticity of your floors. The distressed wood adds a unique texture to your floors. We recommend getting hand-scraped distressed wood to make each plank unique, as opposed to machine scraped where each plank comes out identical. Distressed wood floors are perfectly suited for a modern country home.
