Your living room is your sanctuary. It's an intimate space that should be equal parts simplicity, comfort, and your personal style. Living room hardwood floors should fall in line with this philosophy, as they're (literally) the foundation of the entire room.

Sleek floors with a simple grain pattern are great if your style is patterned, plush and luxurious. This way, your floors won't compete for attention. If your style is easygoing and neutral in color, then you may want yourhardwood floors to be more of a focal point. You can achieve this by choosing varying plank widths or a species with a pronounced and distressed grain, or even a couple different species that contrast with one another! This is where your personality comes in, because the living room is where you are completely free to be yourself.
