All hardwood floors are VERY beautiful except certain hardwood floor colors and species have an ability to hide normal wear and tear much better than others. Today we’d like to let you in on the hardwood flooring color that hides wear and tear the best.
Best Hardwood Floor Color for Hiding Wear and Tear
When it comes to hiding scratches and other minor issues with hardwood floors that inevitably arise from normal wear and tear, no color hides it better than…
Light-colored hardwood floors.
This is probably no surprise either. Because scratches and other minor nicks are often light colored, they blend in well with light-colored hardwood floors.
To add, hardwood floors that have little to no glossy sheen (i.e. matte hardwood floors) also aid in hiding wear and tear.
The higher the gloss your hardwood flooring has, the more likely it will reveal scratches. However, on the plus side glossy floors are often prized for their beautiful presence and elegant appeal they bring to any room.
