Last week I started writing this post… about half way through the second paragraph, I realized that I was sharing all about my flooring dilemma aka the reasoning behind why we choose this type of wood flooring vs. that kind of flooring for #TheGreyHouseBuild. Before I knew it, I got WAY off track from sharing my favourite flooring inspiration. There is so much information on this topic that I want to share– it’s hard not to spill all the beans about our floor decision-making process right now.
It’s a big deal when it comes to picking flooring for your home. Flooring is a long term commitment, especially if you tend to design a room based on the natural floor hues. Also, depending on the type of flooring you choose, it can be a large investment!
What I have learned about picking out wood flooring is that you need to narrow down the type of flooring you’re drawn towards:
-
Type of Wood
-
Dark or Light, maybe Medium?
-
Plank Colour Variation
-
Rustic/Modern
-
Skinny Plank
-
Thick Plank
-
Pattern
For me, I have always admired wire-brushed white oak flooring, wide plank in a natural finish.

As you can see, I know exactly what I’m looking for in flooring. It’s just a matter of finding something similar within your price range, now that is the challenge!
Once I sourced a few samples of flooring, I created a collage of my flooring inspiration and included a photo of my samples to compare.
Does it look like we have a match?!

[…] which one I choose!? Maybe if you refer back to the post where I share my flooring inspiration, here, you can figure it […]
