The Best Wood Floor Colour Trends Recently
One of the major benefits of real wood flooring is the fact it is available in hundreds of different colours, shades, and undertones. Natural or stained, wood floors come in a very wide spectrum of beautiful colours and even the pickiest customer can easily find the exact shade they are looking for. In addition, once you are tired of the natural colour of your wooden floor, you can easily change it a bit or transform it generally thanks to wood floor staining. No doubt owning a wooden floor allows you to unleash your imagination and creativity and own something unique that stands out.
There are different wood floor colour trends you can follow every year or you can opt for something more classic and traditional that will complement most of the interior styles, no matter what, no matter the current trend. It is totally up to you and your taste, the exact atmosphere you are trying to create in your home or office.
Speaking of current wood floor colour trends, people are going crazy for both extremes - absolutely dark or light. Almost black and almost white wood floors are now the trendiest thing you can spot in every interior design magazine. They perfectly complement all currently trendy interior styles, including shabby chic, farmhouse, minimalistic, Scandinavian, industrial, etc. Light and almost white wood floor colours give every room a breath of fresh air, making every area appear more spacious and airy, light and cosy.
On the contrary, dark wood floor colours are very dramatic and exciting. It is not that easy to play around with them as they can make the room appear less spacious, however, dark wood floors can easily turn into the statement piece and focal point of every room and even the entire house, they are beautiful, more formal, and create a very sophisticated interior style. So if you are planning to follow the current trends, you should know that these two options are currently at their peak.
Dark Wood Floors
At the moment, dark seems to be the main preference of everyone striving to own a home that looks like the cover of an interior design magazine. Dark coloured wood floors are definitely the most dramatic and artistic and probably the most stylish among all other wood floor colour options. When it comes to dark wood floors, you have a few colour and shade options you can opt for and the final choice will depend on your preferences and also the specifics of the floor as well as the room and its interior. Ebony is among the most dramatic and naturally darker wood species. However, an ebony wood floor is super expensive, while the wood species is not particularly suitable for manufacturing a wooden floor.

Finally, if you want to go extra light and simple with the appearance of your wooden floor, you can always opt for the classic white and achieve it with the help of Bona Mix Colour in White.
Mid-toned Wood Floors
Mid-toned wood floors are everything someone will imagine when they envision a classic wooden floor in a traditional interior and setting. Mid-tones are also very forgiving and they camouflage some minor imperfections on the surface of the floor or if the floor is a bit older. Mid-tone wood floors bring in a lot of cosiness, warmth, and homey feeling to every room where they are installed. They are easy to maintain in good condition and keep clean and they will most probably never go out of style.

Red-toned Wood Floors
Another classic colour for hardwood floors is red. Cherry is among the most beautiful and expensive wood species for wood floors and cherry wood floors have a redish undertone. You can enjoy the beauty of a cherry wood floor without breaking the bank by simply staining your wooden floor with the help of a high-quality red stain, for example, Morrells Light Fast Stain in Red, Morrells Light Fast Stain in Rosewood, and Blanchon Hardwax-Oil in Wild Cherry.
However, keep in mind that some homeowners consider red as a very limiting wood floor colour. Styling around a red wooden floor could be a bit challenging. Red wood floors will not necessarily match every space and every interior. However, if you can fit a red wood floor into the right space and bet on the right interior style, you will enjoy a unique floor that stands out and is the statement piece of the room.

Besides looking unique and very different and fresh compared to the more classic tones of wood, yellow, and red, grey wood floors can also create a very interesting and appealing contrast. In addition, grey wood floors are pretty simple to style and work with, they perfectly fit the currently popular interior design trends of Scandinavian style, industrial, urban, contemporary, and minimalistic.
