A light coloured hardwood floor has been popular for decades. The pale tones can really help to brighten up any style of room and is especially great for small or cosy areas. When choosing the colour of your floor, think about the shades and style of your décor and furnishings. With dark furnishings or a very bold colour scheme, then light hardwood flooring can help to balance out the darkness. Furthermore, it can also give you a clean, modern and fresh feel to your home.
Light coloured wood flooring is popular, which means that there are many different styles, tones and shades to choose from. We would recommend ordering some free samples so that you can look at them in your own home, against your décor and furnishings.
What species of hardwood are light in colour?
Oak or Maple tend to be the most popular light-coloured species of wood. However, if you are looking for something even lighter with hints of white, you may need to go for a colour stained floor. You will still be getting a natural wooden floor, but the surface will have been stained during production. The stains can be added subtly to highlight and accentuate the natural grain pattern or more heavily to completely change the colour of the floor.
Why should I choose light coloured hardwood flooring?
Here are some great reasons to choose light coloured wood flooring:
• Easily brightens up a dull or dark area in your home
• It looks clean, fresh and modern
• Contrasts perfectly with bold colour scheme
• Ideal for creating a calming atmosphere
• It can give an illusion of making a small room look and feel larger
