Factors to Consider When Choosing Hardwood Flooring

Now that you understand the types of hardwood flooring available, it’s important to consider other key factors that will help you choose the perfect hardwood floor for your home.

1. Room Type and Function

Different rooms have different needs, so consider how each space in your home will be used. For instance, engineered wood flooring is a great choice for practically any room but is ideal for moisture-prone areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or basements. 

2. Color and Finish

The color and finish of your hardwood floors can dramatically impact the overall look of your home. For a modern, minimalist feel, lighter finishes like natural oak or French White Oak can brighten up your space. Darker finishes, such as espresso or walnut, can add depth and warmth, perfect for traditional or rustic styles. Consider how natural light and your existing decor will interact with the color of your flooring.

3. Plank Size

Plank size is an important consideration for achieving your desired aesthetic. Wide planks create a more expansive feel in your space, while narrower planks can lend a more traditional look. Long planks, such as those offered in our Exclusive French White Oak collection, provide a seamless, continuous visual flow that enhances any room.

4. Maintenance and Longevity

Hardwood floors are an investment, so it’s essential to choose a product that will last. Engineered wood floors are easier to maintain due to their layered construction, making them a great option for busy households. Additionally, certain finishes can help protect your floors from scratches and stains, so be sure to choose a finish that aligns with your lifestyle.
