Solid Wood to Revamp Your Living Room

Most looks come and go, which can often mean you feel the need to change the style of your place to keep up with the new trends. If you have or are thinking of installing solid wood flooring in your home, then you’re in luck. Wood flooring is timeless and classical, guaranteed to work well with any interior theme that you won’t need to worry about changing it. So even if you’re looking at dramatically changing your living room, you don’t need to spend a fortune replacing the floor. It’s so versatile that you should have no concerns matching it with new furniture and walls.

Wood Floor Gives Colour and Texture

Wood flooring offers you a variety of shades, which is perfect as it gives you lots of freedom with your living room. The knots and grains of wood means it will add texture and a final natural look, perfect if you enjoy a rustic country appeal. Equally, if a more modern and minimalistic look is more to your taste then there’s plenty of wood flooring that will appeal to this too. From a shiny lacquered to a brush oiled finish, there’s a whole array of options that will suit your living room.

Huge Variety

As we’ve said before, wood is probably the most versatile flooring available on the market and no matter how original or unique your taste is, you will nearly always find something suitable. If you’re set on a traditional taste, then a dark walnut with plenty of knots and grains running through always does the trick. If you like a contemporary look, then prime grade oak with very few knots and little variation would work wonders. Even species such as bamboo are ideal for those of you who are concerned about your carbon foot print. 

As you can see, wood flooring brings you lots of advantages and you can completely transform the look of your living room just by focusing on the floor! 

Maintenance

Of course, the cleaning and upkeep of your flooring. Even if you fall in love with a particular floor and then find out it’s a nightmare to maintain, it’s likely you’ll forget about it. Although we won’t lie and tell you solid wood is the most practical option available, it does have its advantages. Although not water, scratch and stain resistant, it can be sanded down depending on thickness to eradicate any damage. It is also extremely durable and will last a lifetime if cared for properly. This makes it ideal for rooms such as the hallway, living room or indeed any rooms that see lots of foot traffic.
