The Best Flooring Solutions to Fit Your Style

We’re looking at all the ways you can fit wooden floors into your home, no matter your style. Whether that’s herringbone flooring that would fit nicely into an art deco style, or the deep varnish of wooden flooring in a bohemian style home, we’ve got you covered.

Art deco

If you’re someone who loves luxury, you’ll love the fact that the art deco style is coming back. Making its mark in the roaring 20s, it was a time of elegance and extravagance. Rich colours were paired with gold furnishings and geometric shapes.

So, it’s no surprise, given all those pointers, that the herringbone flooring style really took off. Standard laying of hardwood floors was simply too common. Instead, people started making geometric patterns with their floorboards, which usually had a rich, dark finish to really lay on the luxury and expense of even the floor.

Holistic spa at home

If you are someone who retreats to the bathroom to escape everyday life, you’ll need some vinyl flooring. The bathroom can be turned into an at-home utopia if you follow the right rules.

Of course, a utopia is what you make of it, but there is a reason that spas tend to follow a set of style rules – for optimal relaxation. Nature relaxes us, so their décor features a lot of plants, a lot of wood, and a lot of water.

The water element is handled as long as you have the ability to turn on your shower or fill your bath, but a wooden floor will let your feet feel right at home and enhance the idea of bringing the outside inside so that you feel like you’re bathing a lake of faeries.

But real wooden floors famously don’t like water, so it’s just as well that there’s a range of vinyl flooring out there that brilliantly imitates real wooden floors, is easy to install and is completely waterproof.

Bohemian chic

The bohemian style is centred around the idea of bringing nature into the home, and all the connotations that come with that. The boho likes to be thrifty, likes the idea of homemade because that is better for the environment. So, you’ll see knitted poufs, very light curtains, thrifted rugs, and a lot of candles in the boho home. And of course, crucially, you’ll see a lot of plants. At least three in a room is cautious. There are homes that are drowning in green leaves as they trail around the TV and furnishings.

A wooden floor slots nicely into this nature-focused style. A dark varnish would contrast nicely with the brightness of the rest of the room, as, of course, you will be letting a lot of natural light into a bright wall to get the full effect.

Anything else

The perk of a wooden floor is that it goes with just about anything. It is the foundation on which you can build your style. Whether you’re into the farmhouse style, beach house style, industrial, minimalist, maximalist, French, modern, etc., a classic wooden floor will fit nicely in your home.
