What are timeless hardwood floor colors?
Timelesshardwood floor colorsare typically the natural hues that are found in the hardwood species that are most often used for flooring. Walnut, for example, is renowned for its dark, chocolate hues while Cherry is prized for its deep red tones. Ash floors have more neutral and natural hues that range from cream to light blonde or nutty brown, while Red Oak features deep salmon tones in the heartwood.

What are the advantages of light or dark floors?
Dark floors provide a dramatic visual and can support both formal or rustic decor. While dark floors add a sense of coziness to a room, they can make a small room seem even smaller, and they tend to reveal dust, dirt and debris more easily than light-colored floors. In contrast, a lighterwood color schemehelps a room to seem brighter and more spacious, and light floors are easier to match with the colors of walls, trim and furniture.

What colors are used in parquet floors?
Parquet floors can be made of virtually any color of wood.Parquet colorsmay be consistent throughout a room, or they may include alternating light and dark wood to accentuate the pattern. TheVersailles wood floor pattern, for example, is often installed with a combination of light and dark woods to enhance the woven appearance of the pattern.
