Inspiration comes from many places and the flooring industry is no stranger to it. As we embark on this new year, you will see new trends for wood floors inspired from fashion, nature, and a lapse of time. From modern to classic there is a flooring trend for everyone.
The New Vintage
The year 2016 is all about floor’s authenticity. The natural look of distressed wood its influencing this year’s trends. Think rustic homes in the 1800s, vintage floor wood style is reemerging and it’s one that can be achieved through different ways. The wire brushed technique is one of them in which the wire brush scrapes the wood leaving only the hardest and more rustic part of the wood exposed. This allows for the wood’s natural texture to come to life. Handscraping is another technique used by professionals like Selecta Flooring. With this technique, flooring experts work along the customers side to achieve this vintage look for your floors.

This Eco-friendly option consists of recycled wood. This trend allows for consumers to obtain unique wood for their floors since they come from different wood sources such as farmhouses, barrels, and logs from different areas creating its own distressed look. This option not only saves trees but it also gives your floor uniqueness. No floor will be like yours.
