Tips on matching up flooring original to the home

Renovating a historic home can benefit from using the right type of flooring for your project. Solid wood flooring will work for a great many uses, especially when matching existing floors original to the home. Engineered reclaimed pine flooring is also a great idea.

If there is a sub-floor or a transition area, having the flexibility of an engineered product for the flooring thickness is helpful. In historic homes, the door can be set to a certain clearance height. A quality engineered floor can ensure the door will be able to open smoothly and match up to the flooring height throughout the home.

Bedrooms are a great place to add wood flooring, antique heart pine have warm rich tones to amplify any interior design style. As shown here, the clean lines of the open floor create a modern masterpiece paired with a solid wood headboard and matching antique wood furniture.

Heart pine flooring is versatile and is hassle-free with regular cleaning. Unlike carpet which can stain or trap dust and dirt, an antique wood floor is durable and easy to freshen-up with a mild wood soap and water. The wood paneling on the walls is also a great detail that adds a luxurious touch to any space. A light natural stain can really enhance the rustic knots and nail-holes for a note-worthy wall surface.
