A traditionally beautiful approach to wide-plank flooring.
When you think of wide planked flooring, you probably think of a cottage in the country, or authentically rustic home. Traditionally this may have been true, but in modern times, wide-planked floors are making a comeback in a big way.
A more upscale-modern meets whimsical alternative!
When it comes to style, you don’t have to settle for standard. Opt for a more design-savvy route.
It’s important to note that once you’ve decided to opt for a design-savvy planked floor, it’s time to decide how wide you’d like to go, and whether you’d like a uniform look, or something a bit more eclectic.

Alternating plank-widths can give a room character and dimension, while uniform plank widths like the previous images and example below provide a more modern appeal. For a small home, we suggest going for a slightly smaller wide-width plank to give still give your home the uniqueness of the wide-plank look, while still giving the illusion of spaciousness.
