Hardwood Trends for 2019

​Trends come and go, but hardwood remains. Whether you prefer a traditional, authentic design scheme or crave the contemporary, hardwood offers something for everyone. Let’s take a look at what’s trending in wood for 2019, featuring wood products from Mohawk.

Gray and gray variations remain strong, ranging from light stones to shadowy blacks. Greige is big, combining browns and beiges with touches of gray for the best of both worlds. Many like to pair grays with a traditional farmhouse design, but they also work well when paired with clean, contemporary décor.
 
Deep, rich browns continue in popularity year after year. The deep red and black streaked Brazilian cherry along with dark walnuts, oaks, and hickories remain a crowd favorite for a traditional design plan. Darker, uniform stains and ebonized wood that is almost black look best with more modern designs to create a vibe that exudes opulence.
 
If dark isn’t for you, lighten up with blondes, whites, honeys, and sands for a soothing and calm environment. Lighter woods create a clean palette to suit any décor, from traditional to beachy or contemporary. Light woods are also ideal for opening up small spaces.
 
We’re also seeing a lot of high variation and contrast in wood that mixes coordinating shades into one color to create a truly unique and authentic look. While it blends well with a rustic décor, it can also be paired with more contemporary furnishings for a rustic-modern or industrial look.
 
Texture continues to titillate those shopping for hardwood with handscraped, distressed, and wire brushed features dominating the pack. Along with texture comes the desire for natural finishes like satin, matte, and oiled rather than glossy.
 
In addition to these features, here’s what else we expect from the world of wood in 2019:

• Longer planks
• Thicker construction
• Random widths
• Angled designs and patterns
