3 Wooden floor colour staining trends
So, you want to stain your wooden floor? If so, then you need to consider the type of wood, how the floor should be sanded and what colour stain to apply. Below we share some of the preparation basics when it comes to sanding a wooden floor, and three current contemporary colour trends.
Preparing the wooden floor
The wooden floor needs to be fully prepared before you can apply your wood stain. When sanding a wooden floor you ideally need to use a dust-free floor sanding machine, so that the surface is both smooth and free of dust. This is best done by a floor sanding service, especially if you have a soft wood or an engineered wooden floor, as you don't want to sand too deeply and damage the natural grooves and grain, just the top layer.
Pale white floors
This type of stain is ideal if you want to achieve that beach, coastal or Scandinavian look. This type of floor is often regarded as a minimalist look that can help to calm and soothe. White wooden floors look fantastic when teamed with natural pine or oak, and accent colours of green, blue and turquoise. When using a white stain on your wooden floors, please remember that you can't use an oil-based finish as over time it will turn the white paint a yellowish tinge. Instead, opt for a water-based polyurethane finish.
Muted greys
In many ways, grey is the new white. This too offers a contemporary and minimalist look, but with a much softer feel. The great news about grey is that it will work in any room of your home. The best wood to work with for this type of colour stain is oak, as this wood holds the colour much better than other woods, which can make the overall finish a little blotchy.
Bold black and brown
If you want to create a dramatic and stylish look then you can't go wrong with a shiny black or dark brown floor. Apply a thick layer of ebony wood stain for a rich black, or for a softer feel, use Jacobean. Several layers will need to be applied on a well-sanded floor, so as to cover the colour of the natural wood. The good news here is that you can use an oil-based finish.
