When it comes to interior design, choosing flooring that sets the perfect backdrop to create ‘that look’ is quite important.
In this series, let’s talk about wood designs. What kinds of designs and colors of wood are there, and what are their differences? Most of all, how do they look when they are installed??
Before answering,
Q. what's so special about wood flooring??
Wood flooring, compared to other floorings, has its own distinctive natural wood grain in different styles and colors. These grains with different textures give off a cozy and classy mood while complementing numerous interior design styles.?
With different colors and textures, the possibilities are unlimited, which sets it apart and makes it preferred.
- We will go over different types of wood in each series??
???This time, let's explore Walnut, our all-time favorite, with a classic, luxurious design with remarkable durability.?
Walnut is a stunning hardwood renowned for its beautiful straight lines and rich appearance.
Let’s go through the key characteristics that best describe walnut
| Sophisticated and smooth design
Depending on the type of walnut, the color may slightly vary, but it typically falls within the range of brown from light to dark. Grainwise, walnuts’ thin, straight grain and their brown hue create a feeling of stability and calmness.
To add a twist and a touch of nature's charm, some irregularities, such as knots and waves, are added to the design, depending on what they are looking for.
The floorings closer to dark brown (or black walnut) are mostly used when creating a calm and timeless ‘luxurious look’, while those closer to brighter are used when creating a natural and cozy design with a classy and elegant background.??
| Excellent strength and durability
Walnut is a very strong wood.
Walnut wood measures around 1,010 lbf, or 1,010 Janka, meaning it is durable enough to withstand a little damage while still being easy to work with and install.?
It is more resistant to shocks and changes in temperature and humidity but less likely to bend or twist than other types of wood due to the delicacy of the wood tissue.
?? In summary - What you also need to know??
Walnut can be a durable and beautiful flooring choice; however, if these are the only factors you consider, make sure to go over the below factors as well.

Hardwood walnut, for all its superior quality and natural beauty, can be more expensive than other types of flooring.
It requires heavy maintenance due to its susceptibility to moisture and scratching, as well as to prevent discoloration and deformation. As much as a single plank is expensive, partial replacement and reinstallation can be just as expensive.
Q. Then what other affordable flooring option do we have for designing the ideal floor with a beautiful walnut design that is durable enough but requires low maintenance?
> LVT flooring is another option!
LVT flooring depicts natural, beautiful wood designs with less risk of deformation. It also offers easy maintenance and reinstallation.
??Of course, not all LVT perform the same!!?
