There are many beautiful and stylish hardwood species!
Within each species of hardwood, you will have the choice of color and finish. When selecting a color, choose one that either coordinates or contrasts with your furniture.
Hickory Hardwood Flooring
Hickory wood floors can run from warm brown to beige to red, and they usually have many distinctive knots in their grain for a truly unique look. Hickory is very strong and durable wood that is less prone to scratches, making it an excellent wood option for high-traffic areas.
If you are looking for rustic charm in your flooring, hickory might be the perfect floor for you! Many homeowners choose to use it in rooms to give their space a country cottage or estate-type feel.
Within each species of hardwood, you will have the choice of color and finish. Keep in mind that darker wood tends to be more formal, while natural colors are more casual. In general, lower gloss levels are better suited for active rooms because they help minimize the appearance of dirt and scratches. A high gloss finish would be appropriate for a more formal decor.
Maple Hardwood Flooring
Maple flooring boasts a light wood natural finish that looks right at home in sleek, contemporary design schemes. Its subtle grain pattern also works well in large rooms and open floor plans. Maple's sapwood is a light creamy white color, while the heartwood can be a deep reddish-brown, which typically results in maple's signature sandy blonde tones.
While maple is fantastic in large, open rooms, its lighter tones can also make small rooms look larger. Maple is also durable and can handle the wear and tear of daily living. Keep in mind, maple is not the best choice for areas with high humidity due to its density.

Oak Hardwood Flooring
Oak hardwood flooring is typically made from red or white oak.
The sapwood of red oak is white to light brown, while the heartwood has a pinkish-brown tone. It comes in four different grades: quartersawn, select, #1 common, and #2 common.
White oak is similar to red oak but is slightly denser and has longer rays. The sapwood is light colored, and the heartwood is light to dark brown. White oak comes in the same four grades as red oak.
