Hardwood flooring is a type of flooring that will probably never go out of style. However, it does have its fair share of successes and fails in terms of styles and trends. If you’re thinking about going with wood flooring with your new home or a remodel, consider these current trends and styles in hardwood flooring:

• Shades of Gray – Blame it on the 50 Shades of Grey books and movie, but gray-toned wood floors are becoming very popular in homes throughout the world. They offer a neutral tone that can complement almost any decorating style and color.
• Darker Stains – Although being bold and beautiful has been prevalent for a while now, darker-toned wood flooring is just as popular as the gray right now. Walnut flooring is probably the most popular because of its natural dark chocolate color. The only problem is that it shows pet hair, dirt, etc. much easier than lighter colors. When kept clean, though, dark wood flooring makes a statement.
• Wide Planks – Wide planks have become increasingly popular since contemporary styles are taking the lead in home design. Plus, wide planks work exceedingly well in farmhouse style and colonial homes. For smaller homes, wide planks are essential, as they help to open up the space and have less distractions.
• Cork – Cork has become a common choice for homeowners seeking a natural look for their flooring. It’s one of the more comfortable natural choices to walk on because it tends to be a bit softer than other traditional hardwood flooring. Despite its softer feel, modern technology has increased its strength and durability.
