Having a new hardwood floor in your home can add warmth and character, but how do you choose the right one that will suit?
A great place to start would be to access the budget, how much realistically to you have to spend; by doing this it will give an idea on where to start looking.
When looking at which style of solid wood flooring to choose, it might be worth noting that those made from wide boards are more expensive than those made with narrow boards.
Natural oak flooring is always a popular choice for many because the colour is neutral and tends to match well with most interiors. If you decide to change your decor often this is the best choice being so versatile. Another great plus about it is that it's one of the most environmentally friendly woods on the market.
Walnut oak flooring is a darker wood and gives your home a touch of class, it might be worth mentioning here though that it does scratch easier than other types of wood, so may not be the best choice for those with children or pets.
Most flooring retailers will be happy to discuss the best style and type of flooring for you and may also give you a sample to take home and try.
If you really aren't sure what you want, then this is the best way to help you decide; by taking advice from the professionals.
