Design Tips and Trends in Hardwood Flooring

At Monarch Floor & Window Coverings we sell pre-finished hardwood flooring. This means that as soon as the floor is installed, it is ready to be walked on. What this doesn’t do, however, is limit the wide variety of options that a homeowner faces when selecting their hardwood floor. Deciding between wood species, stain colour, surface features and plank dimensions can be overwhelming. Taking advantage of our mobile showroom is a great way to enlist our help in making these decisions. This enables you to consider a full range of product samples in the light and space of your own home. In this article, we will provide you with some insight as to the design trends we are currently seeing out in the field.

Oak and maple are the two most popular hardwood flooring species in our market. Both of these species are durable, stable, affordable, and versatile in terms of how they can be stained and finished. They have very distinctive grain patterns, so it is always helpful to see a few samples of each in order to determine what sort of look you prefer.
