In the ever-evolving world of interior design, hardwood flooring continues to reign supreme in 2023. This timeless and versatile flooring option has maintained its polularity and this year a significant shift is evident—a growing customer concern towards sustainable products. Let's delve into why hardwood remains a top trend and how sustainability has become a key consideration for consumers.

  1. Timeless Elegance of Hardwood: Hardwood floors have an enduring appeal that transcends trends. The natural beauty, warmth, and character they bring to a space make them a perennial favorite among homeowners and designers alike. In 2023, the classic allure of hardwood is as strong as ever.

  2. Varied Tones and Textures: While the timeless nature of hardwood remains constant, the trends within this category continue to evolve. Dark and rich tones, cool and neutral colors, and mixed widths and lengths of planks are all making waves in 2023. The versatility of hardwood allows for a wide range of design possibilities, catering to diverse tastes.

  3. Sustainability Takes Center Stage: One of the most notable shifts in consumer preferences is the heightened awareness and concern for sustainability. Homeowners are increasingly seeking flooring options that align with eco-friendly practices. In response to this demand, the hardwood flooring industry has seen a surge in sustainable and environmentally conscious practices.

  4. Demand for Reclaimed and Responsible Sourcing: In 2023, the focus on sustainability extends to the sourcing of materials. Reclaimed wood, which gives new life to old timbers, is gaining popularity for its unique character and environmental benefits. Moreover, responsible sourcing practices ensure that the hardwood used in flooring comes from well-managed forests, contributing to the preservation of natural resources.

  5. The Rise of Eco-Friendly Finishes: Beyond the material itself, consumers are showing a preference for eco-friendly finishes. Natural and untreated finishes that showcase the inherent beauty of the wood without harsh chemicals are becoming increasingly sought after. This aligns with the broader movement towards healthier and more environmentally conscious living spaces.

  6. Educated Consumers Drive Change: The growing concern for sustainability in hardwood flooring is a testament to the informed choices made by consumers. As people become more aware of the environmental impact of their decisions, they are driving positive change in the industry. Manufacturers are responding by adopting sustainable practices, fostering a healthier balance between consumer demand and environmental responsibility.

The Hardwood stairs are a great option, to being elegant they give a sophisticated and modern look to our home and can be combined with any paint color that we like for the walls and furniture of our choice.

Stair Tread

The steps of the stairs are the horizontal pieces that form the stairs. The size of each tread can affect both the comfort and safety of climbing stairs.

Stair Risers

Each set of stairs also has risers for each step. The stair lifts are the vertical pieces on the stairs although not all has risers. For example, the levels of the open-air deck often have open backrests instead of having a bit of hardwood there to form elevators.
