Hardwood flooring: Should I go with dark or light-colored flooring?

Choosing light or dark hardwood flooring is one of the choices you’ll have to make as you shop for the perfect materials for your home. However, the answer lies in your requirements and preferences, as one might be better for your home than the other, and we’re going to tell you more about that right now.

Wood floors give you plenty of options

To get started, you might consider both solid and engineered wood flooring for your home, though the construction differs significantly between the two. Solid wood is wood through and through, while engineered products offer a base of layered plywood topped with a veneer of natural solid wood, which is then covered with a protective wear layer.

Light-colored wood is a superb choice for trending décor styles and design, but you might want to remember that it shows dirt and debris quickly, especially in highly-traveled spaces. The darker wood is an option with a classic and timeless appeal, but their dander will display more quickly if you have light-colored pets.
