Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If part of your most recent home improvement projects is installing a hardwood floor, and you want a more exotic wood than oak, maple, or the other mainstays, you can find imported woods from exotic locales for around $8.50 a square foot. One example is this “Shiraz Angelim,” a hardwood from BR111 Flooring. Angelim is a medium-density wood that hails from Brazil, and here it’s treated with a crystal clear finish to reveal the “enchanting character of hand-scraped exotic hardwood.” The hand-scraping gives the surface a sculpted texture that adds “visual drama and sophistication,” creating old-world elegance with new-world practicality. The Shiraz Angelim comes with a 24-year residential warranty.
