Tile’s ability to replicate natural hardwood is one of the hottest trends in flooring right now. Manufactured using advanced digital imaging technology, people can now have the beautiful, natural look of hardwood but with a more resistant material. Here’s a few ways to include some hardwood replicating tile within your home.
Combine With Stone Colors
A very popular trend we are seeing is the combination of color patterns of stone matched with wood tones. Many consumers are using a light and dark grey tone with their furniture and match that with their wood replicating tile. The richness of the stone textures and the warm wood tones create a sophisticated, modern approach to many rooms, including the kitchen, living room and master room.
Don’t Be Afraid Of Water
Many customers have a strong desire to put hardwood flooring in moist areas, such as a bathroom. However, hardwood is not recommended in areas that endure moisture on a daily basis. With the use of wood replicating tile, customers can now add that natural hardwood look to their bathrooms or other rooms that they would otherwise avoid with natural hardwood flooring.
Let the Sun Shine Bright!
You’ve got a great sunroom, but worry about the daily exposure of your hardwood floors to sunlight. Just as tile can handle water, it can also handle hours of natural sunlight. Tile will not fade at all when exposed to constant sunlight, so pick a tile that replicates the style of wood you’re looking for and enjoy!
Tile is becoming most popular throughout homes. With the combination of being resilient to most conditions and its ability to replicate just about anything, it’s easy to see why this trend will continue.
