If it comes to New Year's resolutions, many people would choose to take on a project in their home. If you really feel like you want to breathe new life into your house, hardwood floors is a fantastic way to achieve this. With so many different options and types of timber accessible however, it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start. To make things a bit easier, the following are a few hardwood floors styles you should keep an eye out for in 2019.
Unfinished hardwood flooring
Among many advantages of hardwood flooring is the ever growing selection of different finishes you can give wood -- out of waxes to oils and varnishes. Using one of these finishes not just adds a layer of protection, but also can change the look of your floors, adding to its uniqueness.
However, recent decades have seen more and more individuals seeking out everything classic, whether this is clothes, toys or furniture. There's also been a rise in the prevalence of reclaimed or"upcycled" furniture. Fitting with this craze, we expect to see more people going for unfinished looking wooden flooring this calendar year, or flooring with a matte finish, instead of a glossy one.
Reclaimed Hardwood Flooring
In keeping with the present classic trend, some individuals are deciding against purchasing brand new hardwood floors and instead opting to hunt out and recycle old floorboards. Not only will this give you that much desired vintage look and feel, it is also environmentally friendly and may be cheaper than buying brand new. If you do decide to go with recovered flooring, however, it's crucial that you contact professionals to look after the installation for you.
Patterned hardwood flooring
If you are quite artistic, or have artistic friends, painting right onto your hardwood floors can be a terrific way to customise it. For many, it is as straightforward as adding a pattern round the outskirts of the ground, while other prefer to put in a unique pattern to the entire floor.
