Hardwood Flooring Trends – Colors

Hardwood Color Trend #1 – White

There has been a relatively recent resurgence in the appreciation of white or near-white hardwood shades. While these flooring shades may lack typical flooring pigmentation, this is often what attracts individuals to it. Light achromatic hardwood provides a stark contrast to its surroundings, allowing for pops of color to take design center stage. Whitewashed flooring is also known for its expansive properties which can make spaces seem much larger by reflecting light.

Hardwood Color Trend #2 – Grey

Grey flooring tones have been all the rage for over a decade and if you’ve ever seen them in person then you can understand why. With a milder presentation than other hardwood hues, grey shades let the room do the talking.

Hardwood Color Trend #3 – Gold

Golden hardwoods exude warmth and comfort which is part of the reason why they continue to climb in popularity. Their versatile tones can accent a beach house just as well as they can embellish a modern loft. However, golden and warm blonde shades of hardwood do far more than just brighten up a space. In fact, their lighter tones are ideal for concealing minor scuffs, scrapes, and specks of debris, such as pet fur.

Hardwood Color Trend #4 – Bronze

The array of rust and bronze hardwood shades is exceptionally sizeable and thus, oftentimes the most difficult to decide on. This is a highlight of the diversity hardwood has to offer with its warm amber hues and delectably rich chocolate pigments. Such diversity also lends to the incredible versatility of bronze-colored flooring. When decorating, pair them with pastels for a more muted ambiance or bring in bold and bright tones to make an absolutely stunning statement.

Hardwood Color Trend #5 – Brown

Shades of brown emulate the natural essence of hardwood. While less exotic than that of the fiery hues within rust colored flooring, brown tones captivate and elevate. Much as with gold shades, brown flooring can find harmony within any space or design style.

Hardwood Color Trend #6 – Black

Elegant and modern, black flooring is synonymous with luxury, opulence, and is perhaps one of the most popular hardwood flooring trend colors. Its contrast against most other decor makes it a stand-out statement piece while its obsidian hues warrant the attention of most, if not all. While suitable for any space, it creates a canvas to build upon with whites, neutrals, and all colors of design.
