Match Your Floors to Your Fashion
When we shop for clothes and accessories, we are always trying to find pieces that will elevate our personal style. Your personal style doesn’t have to be wild and eclectic. Your personal style could be jeans and a t-shirt. When it comes to hardwood floors, there are many styles. Hardwood floors can be eclectic and wild, or they can be simple and casual. Let’s take a look at some hardwood flooring styles.
Classic and elegant
There are classic hardwood floors that consist of solid or engineered hardwood planks laid in the traditional fashion. This is the “jeans and t-shirt” of hardwood floors. However, just like there are a million styles of jeans and t-shirts, there are a million styles of simple and casual hardwood floors. The most traditional is oak hardwood floors.
Natural beauty
To keep it as casual as possible, leave your floors naked. By naked, we mean to allow your choice of wood to stay in its most natural state. Allow the natural grain, tones, and colors to shine. Leaving your floors bare naked will give your home a beautiful and casual backdrop that you can dress up with furniture, art, and other interior design. It’s the equivalent of not wearing any makeup. If you like to celebrate natural beauty with a fresh, clean face, why not apply those same principles to your flooring?
Retro hardwood floors
If you have a retro style, you may want to look at rustic and reclaimed hardwood floors. If you love to reinvent your grandmother’s style and bring it into today’s fashion scene, then why not use old wood in your home? Reclaimed wood doesn’t have to be old and rustic, you can revitalize reclaimed wood to look new and vibrant, while still maintaining the old charm.
Eclectic hardwood floors
If you have a bohemian and eclectic personal style, there are many ways to implement these traits on your hardwood floors. Using a mixture of widths and lengths can create a unique and boho chic look in your home to match your style. You can also create interesting patterns, using various contrasting colors. Parquet floors will make your floors unique and unlike anyone else’s floors, just like your fashion sense if unlike anyone else’s.
Timeless and elegant
For a home with antiques and classic art, look for timeless patterns to match, like chevron, diamond, and herringbone. Parquet floors are timeless and elegant. Be careful not to overwhelm your home with a pattern that is too busy.
