New hardwood floors can completely transform a home, making it feel brighter or more spacious or allow you to create a running theme in your decor. Updating your home is all about making your space look and feel brand new, which is why you may be interested in finding out the latest trends in home design. To help you decide what color you might want for your wooden floors, here are some of the most popular stains on the market today.

Top 3 Popular Hardwood Flooring Stains

1. Whitewashed 

Those who enjoy crisp and light flooring may want to opt for whitewashed hardwood floors, which can be completely white or mixed with other wood stain colors to create a milky shade. These floors make a space look clean and open, and work well with contrasting dark walls or furniture.

2. Blonde 

If you like light colors but prefer a more natural look, consider blonde for your new hardwood floors. You can create blonde flooring by coating natural wood with an oil varnish, creating a minimalist, bright feeling throughout your home. Due to its light color, blonde hardwood is easy to re-stain later, allowing you to go darker without needing to replace your flooring.

3. Gray

Prized for their neutrality and ability to hide dust and dirt, hardwood floors with a gray stain give a space a sleek, modern appearance. These work well with Scandinavian-inspired furniture, which often comes in many colors to allow you to add a pop of color to a room.
