Light hardwood floors are a beautiful option for your home.
When it comes to installing flooring in your home, there are many different decisions you will have to make. Not only will you have to decide between solid and engineered hardwood, but you will also have to choose the species of natural wood and the color of the hardwood floors in your home. While many designers have gone to the dark side, others have gone toward the light and stuck with lighter wood floors to brighten up your home. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of choosing light hardwood floors for your home.
Light Hardwood Makes Your Space Seem Larger
One of the best parts about light hardwood floors is their ability to bright up your space and to make it seem larger. If you have less square footage in a room than you’d prefer, light hardwood floors can help. Lighter colors can help create the illusion of floor space and make the eye believe the room is larger. This trick can come in handy if your home isn’t as large or as open as you would like it to be.
Downplay Dirt and Damage
While many people think of a light color and assume dirt and damage would be instantly detectable, this is not the case with light hardwood floors. Light hardwood floors actually work to minimize dirt and damage, helping free you from the constant maintenance of other flooring. These hardwood floors are also a good fit for pet owners as the light wood helps to hide scratches better than dark wood.
Showcase Traditional Design
In the flooring world, lighter hardwood floors tend to be associated with a traditional design more than modern designs. However, paired with the right cabinets and furniture, your light hardwood floors will showcase any design for your home.
