    Hardwood flooring has maintained its popularity over the years due to its timeless elegance and durability. Many NJ homeowners appreciate the natural beauty and warmth that hardwood floors add to a space. Additionally, hardwood flooring offers a wide range of options in terms of colors, grains, and finishes, allowing for versatile design possibilities to suit various interior styles. Here are some of the popular options you might consider for your home in 2024.

    Unstained White Hardwood

    Unstained white hardwood, particularly white oak, offers a multitude of benefits as a natural finish option for brightening up a room. Its light and neutral color creates a sense of openness and airiness, making it an ideal choice for smaller or darker spaces. White oak also provides a versatile foundation for future color changes and customization, as it readily accepts various stains and finishes to match evolving design preferences. Solid hardwood floors, like unstained white oak, exude timeless elegance and enduring beauty. They add a touch of sophistication and warmth to any home, and can be refinished multiple times to adapt to evolving design trends without losing their natural allure. This feature ensures that the flooring remains a stylish and functional investment for years to come, even as interior design preferences change.

    Brown Stained Hardwood Floors

    Brown-stained hardwood floors have a rich and warm tone that adds a timeless and classic elegance to any space. The deep brown color of these floors provides a traditional style complement, making them a popular choice for homeowners who appreciate a classic aesthetic. This type of flooring is especially popular with oak wood, as the brown stain enhances the natural beauty and grain of the wood.

    The warmth and richness of brown-stained hardwood floors create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, making them a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Their versatile nature also allows them to suit many different interior design styles, from traditional to contemporary.

    Homeowners looking for a durable and long-lasting flooring option will appreciate the beauty and practicality of brown-stained hardwood floors. They offer both elegance and functionality, making them a popular choice for those seeking a timeless and classic flooring option for their homes. Whether used in a historic home or a modern space, these floors add a touch of warmth and richness that never goes out of style. 

    Gray Hardwood

    Gray hardwood flooring options come in a variety of shades and finishes, ranging from light ash tones to deep charcoal hues. The varying shades allow for versatility in complementing different color palettes and interior designs. The finishes can be matte, satin, or high-gloss, offering options for either a more traditional or modern look.

    Gray hardwood floors are an excellent choice for the kitchen, as they complement a wide range of cabinetry colors, from white and off-white to dark espresso and even bold, colorful choices. Their neutral tone provides the perfect backdrop for decorating in various colors, allowing for endless design possibilities.

    Choosing gray wood floors offers numerous benefits, including their chic and trendy appearance, and the ability to set the tone of a cool, contemporary home. They also add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any space, making them a popular choice for modern interior designs. 

    Blonde Hardwood

    Blonde hardwood flooring offers a range of design styles and decorating possibilities in different types of homes. The light and airy color of blonde wood can make a room feel larger and more open, creating a welcoming and spacious atmosphere. In contemporary interior designs, blonde hardwood flooring adds a modern and sleek touch, while in rustic designs, it brings a natural and warm feel to the space.

    Types of wood that can achieve a blonde wood look include maple, hickory, and ash. It’s important to purchase wood flooring that is already blonde to achieve the desired effect without needing to strip or bleach the wood. This ensures a consistent and high-quality finish.

    Blonde hardwood flooring offers versatile options for various design styles and decorating possibilities, from contemporary to rustic interiors. The light and airy feel of blonde wood can transform a room, making it feel more spacious and inviting.

    Honey Wood Floors

    Honey wood floors have surged in popularity due to their ability to make a room look larger and more open, making them an excellent choice for smaller spaces. Their warm and rich attributes bring a cozy and inviting feel to any room, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Additionally, honeywood floors are available in various wood species, allowing for customization and versatility to match any interior design style.

    The trend of warm tones in wood flooring has seen a rise in popularity, with honey wood leading the way. The timeless appeal of honeywood floors makes them a timeless choice that will never go out of style. Their classic and enduring look can easily complement both traditional and modern aesthetics, adding a sense of warmth and elegance to any space. With their availability in various wood species and their ability to make a room look more expansive and open, honeywood floors are an excellent choice for any interior design project.

    Worked with SmartCarpet as they are the authorized dealers who work with Costco. My estimate was done by John who was great. He reviewed all the options and was professional and through. I did have some issues during my installation but was contacted by SmartCarpet once I gave the feedback. We discussed some areas of improvement and Jude reviewed the process and offered solutions along w/ a direct number for further communication.

    Five years ago Smart Carpet put down an engineered floor throughout my new condo, five rooms. It became apparent that the flooring was not holding up well. Smart carpet addressed the issue by replacing parts of the floor. But addition issues kept cropping up. I spoke with John N, my sales rep, who came and examined the floor. He came up with a plan to replace the flooring in my entire condo after five years of use!! He replaced it with a totally new flooring that eliminated all the pitfalls that were associated with the previous product. It has now been six months since my new floor was put down. There are absolutely no issues. The installation is fabulous. I waited this long to write the review so I could see if issues developed. There are none. I couldn’t be happier. The only cost to me was the difference in the cost of the original flooring to the new flooring, minor indeed. The bottom line is that Smart Carpet stands behind their products and their installers. They value their customers!!

    We just had 5 rooms, a hallway and stairs carpeted in our Bergen County home.Our experience with Smart Carpet was wonderful. The sales rep, Louie was professional, prompt and extremely efficient. He took a great deal of time to show us our options and explain the difference between each of them. The installers arrived on time on the scheduled day and worked non stop throughout the day. This included tearing up the old carpet and moving all the furniture which we had emptied previously. We are very pleased with the final product. They are an excellent and professional company to do business with. Thank you Smart Carpet and Flooring.

    We recently had beautiful floors installed and could not be happier with the outcome. With 3 dogs and 4 cats, we needed something durable, but also beautiful. Our sales rep, Louie, walked us through the entire process and helped us make an amazing choice. Our new floors gave the entire first floor a face lift. So easy to clean! We were also thrilled that they service the Sussex County area! if I could give 10 stars I would. The financing also made this incredibly affordable for us.

    Today, Smart Carpet installed the third carpet in my house. I cannot say enough about this organization. Nicole, the salesperson, was very patient and professional and knew her product well. This is the second time I have had the pleasure of dealing with Nichole. Joe Orlando sold me my first carpet and he was also a professional, pleasant individual. Sam, the installer of the third carpet, was very kind and helpful and made the entire experience stress free. I have recommended Smart Carpet to many friends and I will continue to do so because they are highly reputable. I would highly recommend Smart Carpet and their staff without reservation.

    I live in Bergen County & had my loft done by Smart Carpet. They offer a free estimate. The salesman, Louie, was top notch and spent over an hour with me going through selections at different prices. He followed up each step of the way. The installers were in and out and did a flawless job. Highly recommend and reasonably price.
