Modern Farmhouse Style Flooring Options
From Pinterest boards to your favorite HGTV show, the modern farmhouse style is everywhere these days. That perfect mix of cozy and cool, this laid-back aesthetic is as warm and inviting as it is functional.
The key to creating a modern farmhouse look is to opt for natural colors that feel lived-in and timeless. Muted tones, white-washes and gray mixes tend to work best for this style and create a light and airy atmosphere that feels relaxed and friendly.
Wide-plank flooring tends to be a popular choice for a modern farmhouse look, but that doesn’t mean you have to opt for traditional hardwood. Wood-look tile, and luxury vinyl are all great options too.
Wood-Look Tile
If you have pets, kids or live in a warmer climate, nothing beats the durability and versatility of tile. A neutral-toned wood-look tile might just be the perfect option for you. Try large format styles or patterns such as herringbone.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
Luxury Vinyl is a high-tech flooring that combines style with extreme durability, seamlessly mimicking the look of those reclaimed barn wood floors you’ve been lusting over. And with a wide range of rustic options to choose from, this waterproof, high-performing flooring is a great choice for busy homes with pets and kids.
Varying Length and Width Hardwood Flooring
For a charming and authentically rustic look, you might want to consider hardwoods that vary in length and width. Back in the day, old farmhouse floors were installed this way to most efficiently use the entire tree. But today, we love them for the weathered and unique aesthetic they add to any space.
Hand-Scraped and Distressed Hardwood Flooring
The unique texture of hand-scraped and distressed hardwood floors can give you the look of 100-year-old flooring without having to wait 100 years. They add dimension and charm to your space, and from a practical standpoint, they do a fantastic job at hiding dust and small debris such as pet hair and dirt particles.
