Make Your Hardwood Floors Unforgettable with Custom Designs

April 3, 2013

Hardwood floors are beautiful. That much we all know. But did you know that Kenny’s Tile in Kansas City can create custom designs in your hardwood floor that take it from attractive to amazing? When you consider the dozens of varieties of wood species available and the vast differences in colors, grain and texture, it’s easy to see how wood floors can become works of art. Here are just a few ideas from elegant to elaborate that you can incorporate into your next wood floor.

 

Borders – adding a border to a room creates a visual boundary and a center area almost like the edge of a rug. It adds both interest and warmth and a touch of formality. Borders are popular in dining rooms as they frame the table and chairs in the center. They can consist of a thin line or can encompass a solid foot or two around a room and can even include patterns within the border. It’s up to your discretion as to what will look best in your room.

   

 

Whole Room Patterns – having the wood installed on an angle rather than parallel or perpendicular to the walls creates a simple angled pattern and adds an understated elegance. It requires a bit more labor as the cuts are on an angle and the corners require smaller pieces, but the unique effect is well worth the extra work.

 

  Parquet Wood Floor

  

Parquet - Parquet floors are a popular whole room design pattern. They usually consist of geometric patterns and can be large or small and simple or intricate. Their beauty is accented by the combination of dark and light wood pieces.  

 

 Wood Floor Medallion   

 

Medallions – medallions can be custom designed or prefabricated and dropped into an existing hardwood floor. Adding a medallion creates a focal point and draws the eye to it. Medallions work great in entryways and hallways and are available in detailed designs that use multiple types of wood of varying colors. They are available in a variety of sizes and smaller designs can even be incorporated into staircase landings for a pop of unexpected wow.
