Wood Floor Styles: Casual September 7, 2010
Posted by creatingyourspace in : Design and Decorating, Hardwood / Laminate , trackback
Wood floors have as many personalities as there are types of trees. If your style is laid-back, have you considered the benefits of casual wood flooring?
Take the time to explore the options in our showroom. To start, let’s consider several elements that lead to a more casual feel in a wood floor.
- Look for lighter tones. These bring to mind a coastal or country feel. Maple and pine work well, as do some of the newer bamboos.
- Find a floor with some variety of tone. This will allow you to use different materials and shades in your furnishings while still linking your décor to your floor.
- Look for personality in your floor. The newer hand-scraped floors fit this profile. Also, floors with stronger grain and even a few small knots add to the relaxed feel. The flooring seems handmade rather than manufactured, adding a bit of a rustic feel to your space.
Wood floors provide such variety that there is one to fit your specific taste and style. Ask one of our salespeople for help in finding just the right one for you. If you want to start browsing in the comfort of your own home, check out our online hardwood catalog, here.

Laminate is easy to clean. To clean the laminate flooring in the house only needed a dusting or a very dry damp mop. As with a wooden floor, but no more than wet the floor of your home. The floor is wet, all the time, eventually warp. The water will attract and hold water. When the water dries the material in the laminate is moving and changing as real wood does. Do not worry, laminate flooring care and properly installed can last for years and years in the house, often times more linoleum or tile floors.
