For sleek, elegant rooms, homeowners often turn to hardwood flooring. While some prefer a timeless and traditional design, there are also many unique ways to use the material. If you are interested in renovating a space and are curious about the possibilities, the team at General’s Harwood Flooring in Webster, NY, discusses three new trends to get you inspired. 

This Year’s Best Hardwood Flooring Ideas

1. Gray 

Although gray floors are not a completely new idea, they have become increasingly popular in 2018. Their sleek, neutral appearance is a great complement to the bold aesthetic in contemporary homes. The option also offers more freedom to choose pops of color for furniture and room accessories. 

2. Distressed 

Have you ever pulled back a section of carpet to inspect the home’s original, weathered wood flooring? If the material is distressed, you may not need to worry about replacing it. Whether you already live in an older house or would like to add some character to a new place, scratches and knots add a charming, vintage, vibe that goes especially well with a rustic or country interior.

3. Low Luster Finishes

In the past, it was common to see hardwood flooring with glossy finishes. In 2018, low luster options such as satin and matte are becoming increasingly popular. Homeowners love these products because, unlike their shiny alternatives, they hide imperfections and dirt by reflecting less light.
