One hardwood flooring choice can look completely different than another. You've decided on hardwood as your flooring solution, but which kind do you like best? What's going to fit best with your decor? I've been set on tile flooring when I finally lay a new floor in the next year or two, but I keep seeing other people choose hardwood flooring for their condos, even though we're right on the ocean. It wouldn't have been my first choice in my situation, but I'm starting to come around.
If I were to choose a hardwood flooring solution, I would want something dark in color, not necessarily black but a dark walnut brown maybe? Hand-scraped hardwood has always been a favorite of mine for sure. One popular option these days is distressed wooden planks. In the picture I'm looking at of this, the planks are quite wide. I like this, as many flooring solutions are much more narrow.
Now, unless you're going to be updating the floors inside your log cabin, I do not recommend reclaimed pine. To me, it looks nice but only in a certain setting. That's what you'll notice about many of the options though, and you'll definitely have your favorites like I do.
Maple hardwood planks look nice, and they are dark, which fits my tastes. However, they look too uniform in my opinion, almost like a solid color. Oddly enough, however, I do like what is called ebonized hardwood, which looks very nice and luxurious. It's odd that I say that because this flooring solution looks even more uniform in color than the maple hardwood.
You heard me talk about reclaimed pine, and there are also other types of reclaimed wood. Many of these choices provide that distressed look that people find appealing these days. I do like some of the other types of reclaimed wood, but I still prefer other options.
When someone says cherry wood or mahogany, I'm a fan. However, some examples of cherry hardwood flooring aren't exactly as dark as I would have thought they would be. There are different kinds, so if you like cherry wood as much as I do, keep looking if you don't see what you like at the beginning. There are some truly weird options out there as well, or unique options if you will. Take a look and see what type of hardwood floor you want laid in your home.
