Bring Natural Character to Every Room

Hardwood has a way of making a room feel finished. Its natural variation, warmth, and timeless appearance can complement everything from traditional interiors to more modern spaces. And because hardwood comes in so many species, colors, finishes, and plank styles, there's plenty of room to make the floor feel like it belongs specifically in your home.

The challenge isn't finding a beautiful hardwood floor. It's finding one that works with your home, your lifestyle, and the design you're trying to create.

Start With the Feeling You Want

Before comparing individual samples, think about the atmosphere you want the room to have. Do you want the space to feel bright and open? Warm and inviting? Classic and refined? The color, grain, variation, and finish of hardwood can all influence the answer.

Lighter wood tones can create an airy appearance, while richer tones can add depth and contrast. More visible grain and natural variation can give the floor a distinctive character, while a more uniform appearance can create a cleaner visual effect.

Let Your Home Shape the Choice

Hardwood becomes part of the room's overall design, so consider the finishes that will surround it. Look at your cabinets, furniture, walls, countertops, doors, and other flooring when comparing samples. If you're renovating multiple connected rooms, consider how the flooring will transition from one space to another.

Matching everything isn't necessary. A carefully chosen contrast can actually make the individual elements of a room stand out. And don't rely on a small showroom sample alone. View samples under the lighting you'll have at home whenever possible. Natural daylight and artificial lighting can change how wood tones appear.
