Hardwood floors have long been a tradition for home flooring. Sturdy yet elegant, they are used for a variety of rooms in the home. They blend in well with wood-based furniture and are easy to clean and maintain. Hardwood flooring comes in many different shapes, widths and types of fabrication. Here are some of the choices where hardwood planks or parquet floors add a touch of classic elegance to a room’s decor.

Home Office

Always compatible with office furniture and computer equipment, hardwood floors provide a professional look for the home office. Chairs roll easily on hardwood floors without damage. This provides versatility for someone moving quickly from the work desk to the printer and back again. An area rug can be placed under couches or chairs to distinguish the waiting area from the work area. It makes for a quick clean-up with either a vacuum cleaner or a broom when clients are coming to visit.

Hallway and Foyer

Hardwood floors make a smooth transition from the front door to the living room, kitchen and den. Choose dark or light tones to complement the hallway walls and foyer entrance. They wear well, and exotic woods can add a modern and elegant look to welcome guests into the home. Coordinate artwork and picture frames on the walls to pull together wood accents. Wooden curio cabinets and tables in the entryways throughout the home help to create a clean design.

Bedroom

Use wood floors for a grown-up atmosphere for the adult or teenager’s room. The width of the planks can accommodate a modern or more antique feel to the bedroom. Use wide planks for a Colonial look or thinner strips for a more trendy and stylish decor in smaller rooms. Choose darker colors to coordinate with cherry or walnut furniture and doors. Blond woods complement white furniture, window treatments and wall coverings. They help a compact room appear larger.

Living Room

Consider parquet wood flooring for a large living room where guests are frequently entertained. Its sturdy base is a durable pairing for heavy furniture and foot traffic. It also works well in rooms where acoustics are important for pianos, stereo sound systems and family entertainment. Area rugs can be scattered throughout the living room to break it up into different areas when gathering with friends at a party or get-together.

Regardless of the type of decor a person chooses for their home, plank or parquet hardwood flooring can provide a special finishing touch to the room’s design for a personal accent of style.
