This Tampa and Milwaukee-based wood floor restoration company demonstrate what homeowners are now putting on their 2016 wish lists.

TAMPA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As an active player in the field and a successful hardwood flooring company that recently extended its service area across state lines, Royal Wood Floors of Milwaukee and Tampa takes a general view of the industry today and sums up what homeowners are looking for in 2016 in terms of wood floors.

“While an interest for exotic woods, dark colors and dramatic looks always exists among a large percentage of homeowners, there is a definite move today towards low-maintenance solutions,” says Keith Allman, the owner of this hardwood flooring company. “These include lighter wood colors, less luster and even distressed planks that hide scratches and dents very well. Choosing floors that have a tendency not to showcase debris or imperfections allow homeowners to go on with their lives without losing sleep over the looks of their hardwood floors.”

Many new homeowners find themselves in the possession of old hardwood floors and wish to update their look. One way to do it in 2016 is to opt for gray floors. These unique-looking floors seem to gain traction due, in part, to the increasing interest for different tones of gray as the main chromatic element in interior design. The look can be achieved by a combination of white and dark stain, but getting it may be tricky because different wood species of various colors and porosities absorb stain differently. The solution is to choose qualified contractors that offer not only simple wood floor buff and coat services but is also experienced in hardwood floor refinishing and in staining different types of wood.

Even though gray floors continue to win over the hearts of many homeowners, others prefer the natural look of unstained wood planks. The trend may be the result of a heightened interest in coastal, beachy types of interiors, with their light-colored floors and relaxing vibe. If without any hardwood floor stain, woods like hickory, ash, birch or bamboo give you the light look so convenient for hiding dust or pet hair, dark species need to be whitewashed in order to go lighter.

Finally, Royal Wood Floors advises its customers not to overlook the importance of the finish sheen in the overall look of hardwood floors. While a glossy sheen is exquisite and elegant, it highlights dust and footprints and is a maintenance nightmare. A shift towards less luster is evident today, with the satin sheen remaining a favorite among homeowners, for its subtle luster, combined with its ability to hide scratches and dirt. The good news is that the finish sheen is easy to change. Homeowners can hire a team of good hardwood buff and coat professionals to remove the floor’s top coat and apply their new choice of finish.

While they are at it, Royal Wood Floors has a final piece of advice for homeowners who want beautiful hardwood floors. “Trends are fun, and refinishing your floors in order to get the latest look is a gratifying project,” says Keith Allman. “However, do not forget that, after the job is done, you have to keep up with a good maintenance routine. Shop around for the best hardwood floor buff and coat cost, and give your floors a periodic facelift by retouching its protective layer. This will keep each plank looking good and away from damage, which will save you money in long term.”
