With a new year comes new trends in home design and decoration. As we ring in 2017, hardwood floors take a prominent spot in the season's hottest home décor styles. Below are three trends for the new year, highlighting the role of hardwood floors in each.

3 Home Décor Trends For 2017

1. Bohemian Chic

You can easily create a room that hearkens back to the bohemian heyday of the 1960s. A variety of colorful textiles (the longer, the better) and some well-placed greenery is all it takes to "boho" a space. If you're in the market for new flooring installation, weathered hardwood is a perfect choice for a bohemian-style room, adding a touch of old-world panache and enhancing the overall earthy atmosphere.

2. Earth-Inspired Jewel Tones

The sea-blue sparkle of sapphires; the green glint of emeralds; the rich purple of amethyst, mimicking the beauty of a sunset. Jewel-tone color schemes are going to be all the rage in 2017, especially those inspired by nature and eco-friendly living choices. Selecting a dark hardwood floor will only deepen and enrich your jewel tones, making them stand out and intensify.

3. Cork Walls & Floors

Cork walls are increasing in popularity because of their beauty, functionality, and sustainability. They are also excellent sound absorbers, keeping your quiet spaces relaxing. Cork flooring offers the same benefits and is also extremely comfortable and durable to walk on. Why not deck a room's walls and flooring in cork for low noise pollution and ultimate comfort?
