Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

When it’s time to choose flooring for your home–whether you’re building from scratching or remodeling–you may be drawn to hardwoods, as so many people are. If you decide on wood, you’ll not only need to pick a species type and a finish, but you’ll want to figure out if you want something that looks brand-spanking new or if you prefer the warmth and character of an aged or “distressed” floor.

This picture is from Aged Woods, a company that works with reclaimed and remilled woods, and it features antique oak planks. Oak flooring is the most popular hardwood in North America, due to its hardness (which translates to durability), availability, and affordability. A distressed oak will look quite a bit different than a factory new oak, so you may want to decide which look you’re going for before you start to shop.
