2020 Hardwood Flooring Trends: Stain and Color

This is the year that redder and warmer tones are heading out of style. There is more demand for dark and light hardwood (as extremes). Cooler and browner tones are also on the rise. The overall shift is for more muted tones this year.

Preference for darker colors has been rising steadily for the last decade. This is often for those who don’t have a problem maintaining the cleanliness of the floors. If you’re looking for beautiful dark hardwoods, try ebony mixes like dark walnut or jacobean. Other tones on the darker side are dark walnut, antique brown, coffee brown, or special walnut.

Gray has been popular in many house remodel adventures, from walls to floors it has seen an overall increase in demand since 2010.

For those who aren’t looking to darken their floors, natural muted tones are increasingly popular! The major theme is the “natural” look of the floors. However, people are avoiding the floors with yellow tones and opting for the cooler undertones.
