With various changes you can make here and there, you could have a very personalized hardwood floor for your home. You’ll need to start by discussing a great wood species. This is the most important factor in your floors reaching their specified lifespan, as they are rated from soft to hard. The more active your home, the harder the species should be in order to withstand the daily wear. Softer woods will not perform well in those busy spaces. However, they are good for pantries, walk-in closets, and more.

With the perfect species in mind, you can move on to an excellent stain color. If you choose prefinished materials, your color choices will be more limited than if you choose site based materials. But, with the option for more colors, you can also expect a longer installation period. Speaking with your flooring specialist will help you determine which is a better fit for your specific preferences and requirements.

A final touch is to add the perfect finish, which can include vintage, distressed, hand scraped, or wire brushed. Any of these will look amazing, but they can also do double service by helping to hide signs of wear and tear. You’ll see fewer scratches and scuffs, keeping your floors looking newer longer.
