Dark Hardwood Floors Decorating Ideas

Distressed Wide Planks

Maple Plank

The HGTV Urban Oasis 2011 powder room's maple flooring brings warmth against the black-and-white linear mosaic tile wall. Even though hardwood flooring isn't necessarily the first choice for bathrooms, it can work well in a powder room without a shower.

Red Oak

Red oak is one of the most popular flooring choices available because of its ability to coordinate with any design style. The reddish tones add to its beauty and its resistance to wear makes it a great option for high-traffic areas, such as a living room. Photo courtesy of Shaw Floors

Ebonized Hardwood

Ebonizing wood is a simple way to add luxury to a space. The dark, opaque look complements many design styles but really stands out in a neutral, contemporary space. Dark hardwoods, such as oak, cherry and walnut, create the best sleek black look. Design by Linda Sullivan

Brazilian Cherry

If you want an exotic look, choose Brazilian cherry wood. The multitude of colors in the grain gives the floor a mosaic look. Aside from its visual appeal, its sturdy nature and affordable price make it a popular choice among exotic hardwoods. Photo courtesy of Lumber Liquidators

A conversation starter doesn't have to be a piece of art. Designer Jamie Beckwith designed The Enigma Hardwood puzzle piece flooring to challenge the traditional wood-plank flooring. It comes in 16 different patterns with six unique stain choices for a custom look.
