How To Create A Luxurious Aesthetic With Wooden Flooring

November 21, 2021

The New Year is right around the corner and it’s the perfect time to renew your space. If you’re leaning towards a luxurious aesthetic, whether you’re remodelling or planning for your future home, it may be best to start it from the ground up – literally. Your flooring is a crucial element to your home’s overall aesthetic. It takes up a majority of your space and serves as a foundation to your arrangement. Here are a few tips to help you pick the right flooring for your home. 

Study the layout of your space.

If your home has an open floor set up, it would be best to use the same type of flooring to create balance, cohesion, and the illusion of a bigger space. On the other hand, if your home leans towards the smaller side, it’s best to opt for wider planks as they have fewer seams, keeping the floor from seeming too busy.

Choose your wood floor type carefully.

Wooden floors exude a classic and elegant vibe. They are low maintenance, long-lasting, and easy to clean. They also come in many different shades and types that you can choose from. Solid hardwood flooring is typically made out of maple, oak, or walnut. On the other hand, engineered wood flooring is made up of layers of hardwood and plywood. Both types can exude a luxurious look, so the decision would depend on your needs and preference. 

Pay attention to the colour and grain pattern of your flooring.

Wood flooring comes in a wide variety of wood species, colours, and finishes. For a luxurious aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with oak or walnut flooring. Both options can give your space a nice and sophisticated look. An oak floor might be easier to match with your furniture as it is more versatile, while walnut floors have deeper tones, great in creating that deluxe appearance. 

Go for a monochromatic look.

Minimal colour hues can create a simple but expensive aesthetic for your home. You could go for lighter tones for a clean look or go the complete opposite and opt for darker hues sure to create an instantly expensive vibe to your space. If you want to add a pop of colour, choose bright or contrasting pieces. Adding patterned accent walls can make your space more interesting as well.

Don’t be afraid of bold tones.

Opting for richer tones is a savvy way to tone down on the rest of the décor as it can serve as the focal point of the room on its own. In recent years, flooring that leans on the darker tone has become trendier as they give an upscale appearance to any space. Additionally, they can provide good contrast to the rest of the pieces in the house.  

Creating a luxurious look for your home does not have to cost you a fortune. Choosing the right kind of flooring and pairing it with the best colour schemes for wall finishes, furniture, and accessories can help make your space have the expensive look you desire. Don’t hesitate to mix and match until you find the perfect elements to create the luxurious look you aspire to have.
