Hardwood flooring continues to grow in popularity, and it is by far the preferred flooring type for homes. Ironically, this is followed by all sorts of products trying to mimic the look of hardwood flooring, regardless of whether it’s porcelain tile that looks like wood, engineered vinyl planks, or a whole slew of other knock-offs.

But still, most people want the real thing…REAL HARDWOOD. It’s stylish, comfortable, warm, timeless, natural and lasts for over a century.

Hardwood makes a house a home, and you can refinish hardwood over the years to change the color and style as fashion trends and preferences change. For all of these reasons, most homeowners prefer the real deal…and love that it also improves the value of their home at the same time.

Floors are the foundation of your home and set the tone for your color palette and decorating style. You want to get this right as good floors will last a lifetime…and then some. Paint colors and accent colors, as well as styles, may come and go, but good hardwood floors will be there for over a century.

You will also see that some of of these trends are a bit contradictory (e.g. both very dark and very light stain colors are most stylish). Again, this goes back to different types of homes and different strokes for different folks.

Not all colors work in all homes, and you also need to consider your overall decor theme (including paint color for walls and furniture), so choose something that you love…and anticipate you will love for a long time.
