We are diving into something to keep in mind when choosing which wood floors will work best for your home. Each of these must-consider factors will come together and create the ultimate one-stop place on how to pick out your perfect wood floors!
Character and Feel
The first thing to keep in mind is the species of wood and the finish you’d like it to have. There are many different woods that can be chosen. Whether your style is a classic and timeless wood like oak or an exotic and modern species such as teak, there is a wood that will suit your tastes and help create the gorgeous floors of your dreams. And after you’ve chosen a wood, your finish can help define the overall style. Different tones or washes can help so much that they can take a room from one style to another or elevate the entire interior design. To read more, click here!
Style and Size
The installation style and plank size of the wood is another key factor when choosing your wood floors. With an endless amount of styles, the way that you want your hardwood floors to lay can really let your personality shine through. Additionally, trends for hardwood floor plank size change more often than you’d think and the width of planks can be the difference between your home having a traditional feel or a modern one.

Natural vs. Created
The final key thing to keep in mind when picking out your dream wood flooring is whether you’d like engineered floors or solid hardwood. Both options are made of real wood and will look amazing in your space, but there are differences in cost, upkeep, and future value that can influence your decision to go with one or the other.
