When you want floors that will make your interiors feel larger and more airy, light hardwood floors are the way to go. Lighter floors add a sense of spaciousness and brightness to any room, making them a popular choice for small room flooring. Light hardwood floors are also easy to pair with almost any decor – their neutral colors work just as well in formal living rooms as in casual family rooms.
At Carlisle Wide Plank Floors, we offer lots of options for light hardwood floors. Our design consultants can help you decide whether to choose lighter woods like Ash wood vs. Oak, or whether to get a lighter feel by staining your floors a certain color. We can also help with matching hardwood floors to existing floors and decor.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for medium hardwood floors or medium dark hardwood floors, you might consider Walnut floors, which are well-known for their naturally dark chocolate hues. Cherry also makes beautiful dark wood floors – its lustrous red hues darken even more as the wood ages. And Birch hardwood has blonde outer edges and warm amber portions with rich reddish-brown tones in the heartwood.
Ultimately, you can choose to stain almost any floor with a light-colored finish. At Carlisle, we offer a virtually unlimited range of stains and can match any color from a paint swatch, piece of fabric, or a bit of tile you bring or send to us.
