Written by Southern Luxe Flooring | Oct 19, 2022 1:15:00 PM

While wood flooring is always a classic choice for your home or office space, this timeless material offers plenty of opportunities to personalize and modernize your space.

At Southern Luxe, our flooring options are available in various colors and materials, from luxury vinyl flooring to prefinished hardwood. If you are looking to upgrade your flooring and achieve a modern, elegant design, find inspiration in our variety of wood floor colors.

Current wood floor color trends give a modern twist on this classic flooring option, allowing you to create a stylish, long-lasting space that will suit your current and future tastes. Though trends evolve, we can help you choose a wood floor color that will complement your space long-term.

Grey Wood Floors

Grey flooring - which has exploded in popularity over the past 10 years - offers a long-lasting, stylish choice for your space.

As a cool, neutral shade, grey compliments a variety of design styles, such as rustic modern farmhouse, contemporary beach house, or even ultramodern designs. Due to its popularity, consumers have numerous choices for shades and tones.

A hardwood alternative, our Willow series of luxury vinyl flooring offers cool-toned true grey shades, such as Glacier Mist, which are perfect for busy households and high-traffic areas.

If you prefer darker shades with more subtle grey undertones, then our Prefinished Engineered Hardwood Vintage series is ideal for you. Shades like Olde Salem offer the modern grey wood effect while providing timeless durability.

 


Dark Wood Floors

Dark wood flooring offers more dramatic, contemporary hues in your home. These dark floors are often paired with lighter features, walls, and furnishings for a high contrast effect.

Dark wood flooring has become a fashionable choice because it adds a rich, dramatic quality to the space. Dark wood can be styled to suit modern, contemporary, and rustic tastes, making it a bold but versatile choice for homeowners.

Authentic dark hardwood is also highly durable, so your flooring investment will last you for years to come. If you are ready to give your space a luxurious upgrade, check out the dark wood tones we offer.

Honey Wood Floors

Honey wood flooring is a warm-toned option ideal for homeowners who want to incorporate lighter tones into their space.

With honey wood flooring in your home, you have the option to style with darker walls and furnishings for a high-contrast space or keep elements light for a cozy, bright environment. This rich, deep color never goes out of style but is particularly trendy now since it can be paired with various home decor and design choices.

Honey wood flooring offers fashion and functionality since the color often comes from oak hardwood flooring. Oak hardwood provides a rich honey color and a highly durable design, making it an excellent long-term investment for your home.

Blonde Wood Floors

Unlike some of our other trending floor options, blonde wood flooring wasn’t always considered a stylish choice.

In the past, blonde wood-toned flooring materials would not wear as well as other colors, collecting stains and becoming dull over time. With the advent of modern vinyl flooring options, blonde wood-toned flooring has made a drastic comeback.

Blonde wood flooring is one of the lightest flooring options, and it adds brightness to any room. The flooring is used particularly well in small spaces with limited natural light since the warm, light color makes spaces look bigger and brighter.

Blonde wood flooring is ideal for a range of style preferences, including rustic, modern, and mid-century modern. Blonde wood flooring also is a good choice for people with pets, children, or busy lifestyles since the color disguises dust better than other flooring colors.

Our blonde wood-toned flooring is a luxury vinyl that resists scrapes and scratches. If you want to upgrade your home with a long-lasting, sunny flooring choice, then explore our Pure Oak luxury flooring option.

Whitewashed Wood Flooring

Whitewashed wood flooring is ideal for homeowners who want to create a cozy, relaxed look while maintaining a clean style.

The color is a feature of several current interior design trends, often paired with rustic or beachy interiors. Whitewashed wood flooring offers a laidback feel while still providing the brightening benefits of other light flooring colors.

One advantage of whitewashed wood flooring is that it can be applied over other wood flooring colors. The whitewashing process also allows for more selections of wood types. You are free to choose your wood flooring type by its longevity rather than a set color.

If you are interested in a premium and durable wood option for your whitewashed flooring, we recommend checking out our unfinished engineered flooring. With our Unfinished Engineered White Oak flooring, you can select your desired finish, allowing you to easily achieve a cozy, whitewashed effect.
