Wide Wood Planks Vs. Traditional Planks

At home, there are a number of things that can style a room in a number of different ways. From couches and paint selections, there are always varying accents that can be placed between those four walls. One thing that many people don’t pay attention to is the width in which their wood planks are at home. Between different home styles, you'd be surprised at how important the sizing of your wood planks really are in creating a specific feel for each room. We’ve broken down the two styles below to give you a better understanding as to where each one fits.

Wide Wood

Wide wood planks are becoming somewhat of a hit among modern styled homes, and for good reason. These planks of wood typically reduce the amount of lines in rooms that are needed to achieve a specific look, which can be beneficial for many. Adding to this, it’s important to note that these planks are traditionally designed for rooms shooting for a modern look, but actually can accent older rooms too, depending on the color and what the overall theme is. For new homes, we say give them a shot -- it might be a favorable choice for you!

Slim (Traditional) Wood

These planks of wood are traditionally seen in many homes, and are typically sold in most retailers of hardwood flooring. While there’s no specific style attached to this wood plank, there are a few things that people decide to do when having these installed. Traditional home styles have similar tastes, and this is proof. Scraped wood planks are very popular in slimmer cuts, due to the ability to have more ridges and varying feels to each plank.

Whatever style it is you decide to go with, make sure you’re investing in quality wood. Hall Flooring has a number of today’s top brands in the flooring industry, and convenient locations to house them out of.
