    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.

    I am so pleased with my installation crew from Smart Carpet! Johnathan and his team were professional, neat, prompt and precise. We had a flood situation and there was furniture everywhere! They walked into a total mess - but when they left - our home looked beautiful! They were meticulous with their installation and made sure that moulding was perfect. They also needed to install linoleum and it came out beautiful! I would highly recommend working with the team and Smart Carpet!

    Our sales agent, Ryan worked with us to match the color of our existing carpet so we could recarpet our stairs. He helped us pick the right carpet to hold up to the wear and tear. The installation was great, on time and very fast. They cleaned up after themselves. Very happy with the whole experience. We will be using smart carpet again in the future!

    My husband and I highly recommend Smart Carpet for your flooring needs. Great company, quality materials and knowledgeable sales consultants. We’re on our second flooring project with this company. We want to personally that Jay who was knowledgeable and patient with us. He presented great options and products to achieve our desired outcome. Oh, on a side note, I understand the owner is a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan and so are we!! We are forever customers now! We get tons of compliments on our flooring. We can’t wait for the new stairs, hallway and master bedroom flooring to be installed. Thanks again Jay and Smart Carpet!

    We contacted Costco carpeting to check out carpeting options for our entire home, and Smart Carpet and Flooring reached out to us. They responded immediately and put us in touch with Louis. He came by with the carpet samples and armed with his thorough professional knowledge helped me to narrow my selection.After that, he immediately got involved hands on and was able to get us dates, within a couple of weeks despite our date restrictions and the installation date depending on availability and shipment.The team arrived and got to work very swiftly and efficiently. Despite the large job involving removal of old carpet in the entire house and moving large furnitures and working around that, in about 2 days they complete the entire house and even moved most of the items back. Louis was in touch with us before, during and after the installation and went the extra mile to insure we have minimal disruption. Overall, a very satisfying experience.

    Had my carpet put in about 6 months ago and didn’t see to be installed correctly on the stairs. It was coming off in the corners and fapping in the middle . I called smart carpet and they sent a gentlemen over by the name of Samy. He looked at the work and said this was not put in correctly we need to fix this. After speaking with smart carpet again , they offered to take the carpet off the stairs and redo the stairs again for me. Samy came to re do the stairs and it looks amazing . I am so pleased with the customer satisfaction and the quality of service I received from the sales team and the installer . Would definitely recommend and use again if I need floors or carpet installed .

    We are so incredibly happy with our new floors! Our salesman, Robert Dolan was wonderful with helping us decide the best flooring for our needs. He was always available for us when we had questions, and made us feel very comfortable with our purchase. I would absolutely have him help us again. The install team was very friendly, knew exactly what to do, and worked non-stop to provide us with the best install possible. The flooring is exactly what we wanted, and we can’t be happier. I will definitely be using Smart Carpet again. Thank you all!

    I had a good experience with Smart Carpet. Salesman/Estimator Louie was very friendly, polite and respectful. He explained everything to me and gave me his cell number in case I had any questions. Then he stopped by to see how the job was going during the install.The installers were very nice and did a great job on my kitchen floor putting down a luan base and vinyl sheet flooring.I am very happy with the end result.
