Deep & Dark Coloring

Dark floors continue to grow in popularity among those who want hardwood that strikes a balance between classic and contemporary. These floors look elegant and coordinate well with a wide variety of architectural and decor styles. Among the most popular of shades are ebony and Jacobean. The former is among the darkest blacks available while the latter is a deep and rich brown.

One big advantage of this trend is its versatility in terms of style applications. Dark floors are available in a variety of widths and styles so that they can fit everything from the eclectic apartment to the upscale estate. Their rich shades provide excellent contrast for both bright and lightly colored rugs too.

Wide Planks

As 2015 progresses, wider and wider flooring planks are becoming incredibly popular. If you choose wide planks with a contemporary finish, you’ll have the ultimate floor for a modern, urban loft. If you choose wide planks in a distressed or natural finish, you can evoke the feeling of a rustic, authentic floor.

Wide planks also provide homeowners with a great way to make a small space look larger. Wide gray or whitewashed planks offer the best results when it comes to tricking the eye into believing that your small space is plenty roomy.

Distressed, Antique Styles

Sleek, modern hardwood styles dominate many homes, but antique styles are also gaining popularity. Most homeowners can choose between wood that’s been distressed by hand to appear antique and reclaimed wood that’s been repurposed into flooring. Of course, handcrafted distressed styles offer the best in modern flooring construction so that your floors are as durable as they are beautiful.

Gorgeous Grays

Gray is taking over as the new neutral in flooring. This often-overlooked shade is truly a great match for everything and can work in any space.
