Master bedroom with hickory hardwood floors and stone accent wallWelcome to our picture gallery of beautiful bedrooms with wood floors. The rich, warm look of wood flooring is highly sought after for use in luxury interior designs. Not only does wood flooring increase a home’s resale value it can help cut down on airborne particles that are often shed by carpets. Below you’ll find a variety of bedrooms with wood floors to give you ideas for designing your own perfect retreat.

In the image above natural elements come together with the clean, cool tones of this contemporary bedroom. Grey bed sheets and a mid century modern sofa in white upholstery are a good accent to the rough stone accent wall behind the bed’s Modern style head board and dark wood side tables. Hickory wood, a dark and hard wood type was used as the floor planks, and continues to the outside patio which features luxe outdoor furniture.

There are many different options for flooring, ranging from hard, cool tile surfaces to the rich seamless feel of carpet and even to the retro, economical feel of vinyl. There is no better and more popular floor finish than wood. The reason for this is that wood is good at absorbing heat and sound, yet comes in a variation of rich colors, tones and grains, with some species being readily available locally, to others being top of the line luxury items.

Wood Flooring Types

When using wood, one important but often overlooked aspect is to check if the wood being used is locally available. Aside from being cheaper and more environmentally friendly in terms of harvest and transport, choosing a local wood ensures that the wood specie is familiar with the particular climate and weather conditions of the region you want to build in.

Some wood species can warp more than others when exposed to others, and others have better cold absorption properties, so besides choosing a wood because of its look and grain, how your wood floor can serve your home better is a good thing to know. Check out this page for our types of wood floors gallery with pictures.

Here are a few common wood species used as flooring:

Oak – There are so many different types of Oak, that it is one of the most commonly used wood flooring, despite its large variation in look and texture. In fact, Oak is a great choice, as almost every continent has its own Oak specie native to them, so this fine-grained hardwood will always be a Classic option for wood flooring.

Hickory – Because of its rough grain, Hickory wood is well known for its durability and is resistant to heat, sound and static charge. Just like Oak, Hickory comes in a variety of shades from a wispy whitish finish to a darker coffee brown. Hickory’s advantage over Oak is that it is cheaper, however, it is pretty high maintenance and does not thrive well in area with high foot traffic.

Cherry – Known for its rich, warm tone, this wood is also know to evolve and turn a darker, richer shade as it ages. Because of this, Cherry is often treated to bring out a high polished finish, which brings out its fine, straight grains.

Walnut – Also often used for large, heavy wooden furniture because of its beautiful ribbon grain, Walnut is also prized because of the natural color tone variation that can occur in a single board or plank. Usually of a richer brown tone, the natural Walnut grain is wavy and can come out in concentric knots. This type of wood is perfect for Contemporary bedrooms that want to bring in a more Classic or Vintage feel.

Pine – Known for its yellowish tone and lightweight work-ability, Pine also features a lot of brown knots, giving it a rustic, cottage style appeal. Its biggest weakness, however, is that it is a softwood and is highly susceptible to scratching and even denting. This type of wood is becoming more popular again, due to the revival of Scandinavian style interiors, with pine wood planks being bleached or sanded further, to give it a more whitish or faded brown look.

Exotic woods – There are many exotic wood species that have very interesting tones and patterns. Tigerwood, with its rich stripes, is also naturally resistant to mold and fungus as rot and decay. Another exotic favorite known for its black and white striations is Zebra wood, and is known to be resistant to insects, but could prove difficult to plane or surface largely due to its finely interlocking grain. One of the most popular yet hard to work exotic woods is Ebony, with a very fine grain and very deep black tone which can be polished to a high luster.
