Great Timber Flooring Ideas For Your Modern Home

Timber flooring is not only suitable for traditional style homes, as it can also perfectly complement the modern and contemporary setting and whether you decide on a solid timber or engineered flooring solution, the extensive list of colours and grain finishes really does give you many options.

Here are a few ideas for timber flooring finishes that will go perfectly well in a modern environment.
Japan Black
If your interior is adorned with glass and stainless steel, why not opt for a stylish Japan black design for your floors? This is ideal if the room has light coloured walls, which goes perfectly well with the black floors. You can have either engineered or solid timber flooring in a timeless black design, and Market Timbers has the best engineered flooring Melbourne homes use.
There are many advantages to having a dark coloured flooring, other than the fact that it does not show up dirt and scuffs. With the right lacquer, the surface will be well-protected and will last for years.
Double White
If you want to brighten up your living room, the double white finish in European oak is an ideal choice. This classic shade is perfect for a room with darker coloured furniture and whether you prefer the feel of real solid timber or an engineered solution, both are available in this stunning light oak finish.
The Timeless Look of Pine Flooring
If you prefer the stunning effects of a pine species, there are more than one dozen different timber finishes that cover a range of light to dark browns. Finishes such as Manhattan or Wheat make for the perfect foundation for a modern style of décor.
Wherever you happen to live in Australia or around the globe, there are established suppliers of both engineered and solid timber flooring. With their expertise and your input, finding something ideal is guaranteed. If you would like some inspiration on flooring design, there are some stunning images online that can give you a clear idea of what is possible.
Flooring Samples
Ideally, the supplier would send a representative to your home and he would have an extensive selection of real timber samples, which you can place at various points in the room in order to really get a feel of how things would look. After all, it wouldn’t be ideal if you selected a flooring design, only to find out it doesn’t go with the room  décor.
Affordability
Engineered flooring allows you to experience real timber without the huge investment of a solid timber floor. Providing the engineered flooring is installed by professionals, you can be sure of a solid floor surface that will stand the test of time. The supplier might recommend a backing layer of cork, which is ideal for floors upstairs as it ensures the floor is silent and has a softness about it.
Whatever you decide, make sure the flooring company is established and has a good reputation within the local community, and in the event you are not familiar with such a supplier, an online search will soon have you talking to the right people.
