WIDE PLANK HARDWOOD FLOORS THAT WON’T BREAK THE BANK

A hardwood floor adds warmth and character to any style of traditional or modern decor. New trends in hardwood flooring mean that more options are available for creating a unique look that perfectly suits the character of your home.

The standard wooden floor is monochromatic and uniform. But a new trend for 2021 is to mix up or alternate board widths. This adds depth and interest to any room. Here are a few ways it's being done and how you can save money on this new wood flooring trend.

RANDOM OR ALTERNATING WOOD PLANK PATTERNS

Wide planks look great in large rooms and evoke an old-fashioned feeling. They can be matched to the space and furniture, as well as traditional architectural elements. In general, Wood flooring comes in three, four and five-inch widths. You can also mix these boards in random or alternate patterns to make your hardwood floors stand out in your home.

You can create subtle designs with different sizes of wood planks, whether you want a bold look or something more personal. They are great for both vintage and contemporary homes. You can create a unique and elegant look by mixing planks that are three, four, five, six, and six inches wide. You can also incorporate wider planks with beautiful wood features like knots and burl. These natural details add warmth to your floors.

ALTERNATING WOOD PLANK WIDTHS SAVES YOU TIME & MONEY

Alternating widths are a great option if you're looking for a wide-plank look that doesn't cost too much. You will pay more for wider planks than you would for narrower ones. Therefore, you can alternate between three, four, and six inches in width. This will allow you to get the wide plank hardwood floors that you love while saving money.

Wide planks can be more costly because they need glue to be installed. However, when the planks are paired with narrower boards of three or four inches in width, glue is not required. The narrower planks provide stability and can be used as an alternative to glue. Random or alternate-width plank flooring offers the best combination of cost savings and ease of installation.

WOOD FLOORS ALWAYS WIND

Wood floors remain the most popular floor option for home buyers. They are durable, can be used by allergy sufferers, add a lot of resale value, and complement almost any decor.
