Hardwood Flooring Décor Tips

Ready to shop for a new hardwood floor? Let TORLYS Décor Consultants guide you through this process.

• Hardwood flooring is ideal for relaxed look in casual   kitchens or dining areas. The lighter-to-medium tones   help create a relaxed, informal look, while the rich   grain of the mid-tone Oaks adds texture.

• Hardwood flooring is ideal in traditional settings,   because it represents everything we love about the   past - elegant, yet warm and inviting. Mid-to-dark   wood tones reflect richness and classic elegance and   complement the rich fabrics and warm lighting of a   traditional room setting.

• Quiet woodgrains such as Maple soften the starkness   of modern decor with its subtle detail.

• Heavy Grain - texture adds great interest to relaxed,   casual interiors (like oak or walnut).

• Light Grain - the clean minimalism of some wood   grains can add the soft sophistication needed for   modern interiors (beech, maple, birch).

• Light wood tone - clean, natural wood tones lend themselves to both the simplicity of casual   and the minimalism of modern.

• Mid-tone - flexible to almost any decor category. Mid-tone hardwood floors can help blend a   decor that has a host of different furniture wood tones. Ideally, they are best suited for casual,   country settings since the décor style tends to be more relaxed and eclectic.

• Dark - rich, deep tones will work across the board (casual, modern or traditional) depending on   the effect you are looking for, however, traditional interiors really come together with the   elegance of a deep tone hardwood floor.
