Let me guide you through a simple process for selecting your timeless modern wood floor. My years of experience, good and bad in the flooring industry definitely make me an expert in flooring. So, take the shortcut and read further about the right colors and the right style for your forever floor.

Introduction to Timeless Modern Wood Floors

Your home is your castle and you want it to look its best at all times. Many factors go into making a home beautiful, but one of the most important is the flooring. The right flooring can make a huge difference in the overall appearance of your home, and it can also be the difference between a wise investment and a foolish investment.

When it comes to choosing the perfect flooring for your home, there are many different options to choose from. One popular option is wood floors or wood-looking floors. These floors have a classic look that never goes out of style, and they can add a lot of value to your home if you choose wisely.

If you are considering wood floors for your home, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, these floors are available in a variety of colors and finishes, so you can go off the rails and end up with a trendy floor easily. In order to find your perfect timeless modern floor you need to understand the world of flooring is not your oyster.

Selecting a Timeless Modern Wood Floor for Your Home

Assuming you love the look of wood floors, installing a timeless modern wood floor is a great way to increase the beauty, longevity, and style of your home. Here are some more benefits:

1. Timelessness – As the name suggests, a timeless modern wood floor will never go out of style. It will always look chic, elegant, and stylish no matter what the trends are.

2. Sophistication – A classic modern wood floor adds a layer of high-end design whether your style is casual, formal, or somewhere in between.

3. Refinement – The majority of your flooring should be the nuance in the space. Your floor is the stage where the main characters and supporting roles are your furniture and decor.

My Timeless Modern System For Choosing the Correct Wood Floor

1. Consider the style of your home. A modern home requires a plank that is between 5 inches to 9 inches in width. A traditional or mid-century home can be anywhere from 3 inches to 9 inches in width.

2. Think about if your style is rustic or elegant. A floor that has more character to it like knots and split planks, and/or heavy wire brushing is going to provide a look that is old world. Some people find it too busy whereas others embrace the rustic European design.

A wood floor with minimal knots, no split planks, and minor wire brushing of the grain provide a clean sophisticated approach.

3. Choose a wood species. Okay, I am going to upset the apple cart here. My strong belief is that their are only two choices for a wood floor, oak and walnut. Do not waste your time on the 100’s of samples in the showroom that you think you have to view to find the perfect floor.

I designed thousands of homes all over San Diego when I was the Showroom Manager of one of the largest flooring stores in the county. I saw every type of wood floor you can imagine. I know what floors stand the test of time and which were ripped out after the trend had moved on.

4. Choose the correct color. For oak, there are three shades and for walnut, there are two. I have made it simple for my clients with a short questionnaire to find out their color and style preferences. Here is a snapshot of their first step in picking the right wood floor.

Final Considerations When Selecting the Perfect Timeless Modern Wood Floor

When it comes to home interior design, one of the key elements that can make or break the look of your space is the flooring. The right flooring can completely transform a room, giving it a polished and sophisticated look. Conversely, the wrong flooring choice can make a space look dated and drab. And when it comes to modern flooring, there's no material more popular than wood.

When selecting the perfect timeless modern wood floor, there are several final considerations to keep in mind. First, consider the overall style of your home. The style of your wood floors will set the tone for either a casual or elegant look.

Second, consider the natural lighting in your home. You'll want to choose a stain and species that maximizes your floor plan.

Third, consider the amount of traffic in your home. If you have heavy traffic areas, you'll want to choose a more durable option that can withstand wear and tear. In the case of pets and children, the wood-looking options may suit your lifestyle better.

Lastly, consider your wood flooring as a 20-year minimum investment. There are many different price points for wood flooring options, so be sure to select the one that has the best longevity based on warranties and quality.
