Wood Floor Colors Come in a Rainbow of Choices

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

When choosing a wood floor color and style for your home, the choices can be quite overwhelming. Light or dark? Wide or narrow planks? Surface or penetrating finishes? By thinking about the different options and choices available, you can narrow down your choices by thinking about the type of space you want to create, and the lifestyle you live. You name the room - there's a hardwood floor option to fit the space.

First you want to think about how much light the space will get, and this can affect your wood floor color choice and material choice. If the room gets a lot of light from many angles, you want to think about choosing hickory or maple floors. They are less light sensitive than the other popular choices of Walnut, American Cherry, or Australian Cypress. If you do select flooring that is considered light sensitive, you will want to rearrange furniture, rugs, and other pieces in the room often the first year or so, in order than the light is distributed equally on the flooring.

Now, once you have chosen a material, you need to decide on a wood floor color. Flooring made from exotic woods are almost always coated with a natural finish. Sometimes the finish is tinted, but it still gives the flooring a natural look. If you are looking for a lighter color floor, you'll want to think about choosing pine, maple or even Red oak, since they tend to be paler in appearance. If you want a dark, rich color, consider Brazilian Teak. Most other varieties will fall somewhere in the middle.

Additionally, you can stain almost any wood to the desired shade - so the sky is the limit on the number of possible wood floor colors. The next choice you'll need to think about is the floor width size. There are four basic types of widths on the market - plank, random width, parquet, and strip flooring. Each can be found in a variety of wood materials and you can create a unique look with each type of flooring.

Finally, once you have chosen your wood floor colors, the materials, and the width size, you'll need to decide on the finish for the flooring that best compliments the look you want, as well as your lifestyle. Maintaining wood floors requires special care depending on the type of finish you use, and there are 2 basic options - penetrating or surface finishes. Penetrating finishes actually soak down into the wood itself and protect it from the inside out. They cannot be cleaned with water and for this reason it is becoming a less common choice. Wood floors with penetrating finishes must be cleaned with a shellac, oil or wax cleaner. Surface finished wood floors can be cleaned with water, and nearly all hardwood floors today have a surface finish. They protect the flooring by covering it with a protective layer over the top of the wood.

Wood floors, when chosen and cared for properly, can be a beautiful addition to your home. The variety of wood floor colors and options make them a viable option for adding a unique touch to every room.
