The return of warm-toned wood flooring

In recent years at Havwoods, we have observed a clear resurgence in the popularity of warmer wood flooring tones. While cooler shades like grey dominated for many years, there has been a notable shift back to the rich, inviting appeal of warmer hues. Interestingly, this trend is particularly evident among younger generations, who are increasingly gravitating towards more timeless interiors.

Designers are embracing warmer tones to create inviting, personalised interiors. The warmer tones can be seen to be aligned with sustainable thinking and with a move towards biophilic design and inviting nature into home environments. These trends can make homes feel more comfortable and harmonious. 

Cosy atmosphere

Warm tones such as honey, caramel and chestnut, van add a sense of warmth and comfort making spaces feel homely.

Timeless appeal

Warm wood tones have a classic and versatile aesthetic working well across all design styles.

Natural light

Warm tones can complement natural light, brightening up a room and creating a soft, welcoming glow.

Wear and tear

Warm-toned wood flooring may conceal dirt, scratches or imperfections better than some of the lighter or cooler tones. This makes it a great choice for high-traffic areas.

Other colours

The neutral, earthy undertones of warm wood flooring go well with a wide variety of colours, furniture, and interiors design styles.

Value and sophistication

Warm wood floors are often associated with luxury and quality, enhancing the overall aesthetic value of a home.
