02 of Farmhouse Floor Ideas With Original Hardwood
PHOTO:
A true staple of an American farmhouse is traditional hardwood floors. Often covered by decades’ worth of linoleum or carpet, exposing this beautiful feature is a coveted element of any old home. These thin brown planks bode well with other antique findings and white shiplap walls.
03 of Farmhouse Pine Floors
PHOTO:
Pine floors are quite beautiful because of the exposed grain. A very organic choice, pine is a light-colored wood that vibes well with homes that are prone to a great deal of natural light. They are especially tasteful alongside antique furniture.
04 of Rustic Multi-colored Herringbone
PHOTO:
Herringbone flooring is a specific way wood panels are laid to create a shape that is very close to a chevron pattern but overlaps at the crease. This rustic herringbone pattern uses three separate colored wood panels to create an engaging and vibrant geometric shape. The homeowner has selected appliances, countertops, and cabinets in colors that pull together a palette characteristic of the wood design.
05 of Multi-colored Hardwood
PHOTO:
Although not always a purposeful choice and more of a matter of circumstance, original hardwood floors in a 20th-century home look magnificent, even when subtle patches are necessary. Highlight the age and character of the home by painting what is left of the original flooring and creating fillers when possible. You may also include area rugs that are easily interchangeable compared to wall-to-wall carpeting.
06 of Ceramic Tile Farmhouse Floor Ideas
PHOTO:
There are plenty of examples of wood flooring in farmhouse homes, but tile can be equally as durable and engaging. This textured gray and brown ceramic tile is a lovely accent in a petite kitchen. The tile is easy to clean, doesn’t show much wear and tear, and is a timeless element throughout many homes.
07 of Synthetic Herringbone in Wet Room
PHOTO:
Another example of a beautiful herringbone pattern is this warm brown flooring with visible grain lines. Due to its placement in an area very susceptible to water damage, synthetic laminate flooring or wood-look tile are great options to sustain through water spills. The grout lines in between the planks are also a detail that cannot be overstated.
08 of Modern Farmhouse Tiled Floors
PHOTO:
As seamless and intentional as tile looks in a kitchen, it can appear equally as magnificent in a luxury modern farmhouse bath beneath a free-standing tub. A very soft beige color creates a minimalistic canvas for decorative rugs or plants to accentuate the neutral design of the space. The lack of grooves or indents in the tile is simplistic yet tasteful.
09 of Dark Acacia Hardwoods
PHOTO:
Acacia hardwoods are known for their dark hue and glorious grainy texture. In a farmhouse bedroom with white linens and curtains, deep-colored flooring can warm up a room nicely, making a room appear more cozy. These floors shine on their own, so don’t be afraid to give them their moment in the spotlight away from rugs or carpets.
10 of Gray-brown Synthetic Planks
PHOTO:
As gray interiors have been quite popular in recent years, there’s been a shift away from tan or brown floors to something that functions well within this color palette. Many designers have landed on gray-brown flooring whose stain contains shades that mesh well with both colors. You can easily complement these synthetic planks with light-colored wood furniture or stick to white and gray pieces.
11 of Warm Brown Floors in Vaulted Great Room
PHOTO:
A luxurious feature of many new builds is the display of exposed flooring. This is possible because of open floor plans and limiting carpeted spaces to bedrooms. In a home with bright, neutral furniture and gold light fixtures, this warm honey-colored flooring is an idyllic choice. It complements the exposed ceiling beams at the top of an a-frame roof and captures just the right amount of light for great depth in this living room.
12 of Black, Gray, and White Mosiac Bathroom
PHOTO:
Yet another example of mosiac tile in a bathroom is this black white and gray selection that is elevated by a bright pink shower mat. The busy pattern continues through the grout lines, creating a completely seamless look, minus the very faint ending of each tile that is practically unnoticeable. This is an easy transitional design if you’re looking to update your shower floor without ripping out the subfloor as these tiles can be installed directly on top of old linoleum or tile.
13 of Rustic Faux Brick Flooring Idea
PHOTO:
Take your love of all things rustic a bit further with this faux brick flooring that has a limewash effect in your next bathroom renovation. Though the flooring is not actually brick, the styles give off that aura through a distressing process, along with the help of grout intended to mimic mortar. As a bonus, it hides dirty floors especially well!
14 of Original Oak Hardwoods
PHOTO:
The utmost care and attention have been put into restoring the glory of these original oak hardwood floors. Oak has such a bright, sandy tone that can tarnish quickly, but with the help of a little sanding and staining, you can make your flooring shine like new! Make this stylistic choice pop with the help of black and white accents that contrast with the other earthy tones.
15 of Textured Chevron Flooring
PHOTO:
In a white and black modern farmhouse kitchen, a luxurious way to add vibrancy to the space is to include a dimensional flooring pattern like these textured chevron planks. Each panel has an individual shade, which accentuates the intricacy of the pattern chosen. This look would not have the same visual effect if every plank was identical which highlights the craftsmanship of the overall flooring idea.
16 of Hexagon Bath Tiles Floor Idea
PHOTO:
A fan favorite for bathrooms is a black hexagon tile with gray grout, especially in modern bathrooms. They look particularly upscale and trendy beside a board and batten wall and an updated vanity cabinet. These tiles can be made in other colors, but the matte black finish is very chic, especially when worked in with wooden accent pieces.
17 of Soft Gray Tile
PHOTO:
For a bit of a Scandinavian twist on a traditional farmhouse, consider implementing a soft gray tile floor that can extend through the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Working with multiple flooring materials creates definitive boundaries between rooms. In an open floorplan, it appears more modern and minimalist to stick with the same flooring throughout, especially one that is this sleek.
18 of Black and White Deco Tile
PHOTO:
Art Deco tiles, known for their presence in the 1920s and 1930s have made a strong comeback in modern interiors. Depending on where the tiles are purchased, each selection will have its own specific pattern and size. A clawfoot tub is a dynamic feature that displays the beauty of these tiles alongside a black beadboard wall.
19 of Textured Tiles
PHOTO:
Without looking very closely, it would be hard to tell that this bathroom floor is actually tile and not engineered wood planks. Mimicking a wood grain, the gray-brown tiles are completely waterproof and continue onto the shower walls for a seamless, monochromatic appearance. Just enough dimension is brought in through the faint decorative lines on each individual tile, and the entire look of the bathroom is elevated by custom wallpaper.
20 of Distressed Planks Farmhouse Floor Idea
PHOTO:
In place of a polished oak floor, this homeowner opted for distressed wood planks that mimic wood that has been worn and stripped. A personal choice, this design mixes the polished appearance of upscale appliances and high-end cabinetry with the distressed elements that initially drew people to the farmhouse aesthetic. Ultimately, the color adds a nice bit of warmth to an overall cool space.
21 of Medium Brown Pergo Planks
PHOTO:
Pergo flooring has become so popular due to how well it mimics real hardwood. The sticky bottoms are so easy to install and they are highly resilient against pet claws, furniture, and spills. This lovely, open dining room boasts the best of Pergo planks in a sandy oak color that lays beautifully beneath a set of black built-ins.
22 of Checkered Marble Tile in Farmhouse Design
PHOTO:
As today’s modern interior aesthetic draws on inspiration from decades past, why not throw in a bit of traditionalism with oversized black and white checkered tile? A veiny selection of tiles is very transformative for a space and can make a basic kitchen look very lux and upscale. Don’t be afraid to pull in deep wood tones, as it can elevate the overall appearance of this flooring in a farmhouse kitchen.
23 of Brick Flooring in Sunroom
PHOTO:
Behold a gorgeous sunroom with beautiful transitional brick flooring. Brick flooring should not be limited solely to the exterior because of how well it transitions into kitchens or living rooms. If you don’t feel brave enough to lay it in your kitchen, a sunroom is an excellent spot because it can insulate a home and mimic the beauty of the outdoors all within the comfort of your walls.
24 of Decorative Ceramic Tiles
PHOTO:
Ceramic tiles are known for their timelessness and durability, and these intricate tiles with hand-painted designs are quite eclectic. Paired with a bright blue island and orange accents, the beauty of this kitchen is in the details. Don’t be afraid to lay an Oriental or Persian rug on this flooring for fear of clashing. If anything, the printed fabric will amplify the detail of the tiles.
25 of Wood With Printed Overlay
PHOTO:
Hardwood flooring can be very risky in kitchens because of how it responds to water and grease spills. If you’d like to protect the integrity of your flooring, consider laying a rubber mat down to function as a tile-like rug that can protect your floors. Not only are the patterns engaging and pretty, but they’re sure to protect your investment with style.
