You'll never go wrong with
hardwood flooring. Whether solid or engineered, these floors have a natural beauty, suitable for any decor from modern and traditional to rustic and California coastal. They also come with countless benefits, some of which you may not even know.
There are hundreds of hardwood flooring species from which to choose, categorized into domestics and exotics. Domestic species tend to be warmer and more traditional; some examples are oak, maple, hickory, walnut, etc.
Exotics are darker, more dramatic, and, some say, more contemporary. Brazilian cherry, with its fire-red surface, is an example.
