Return of Rustic: How to Recreate the Style with New Floors

Not long ago, every home improvement show seemed to center around a rustic design for their dramatic home makeovers. One of the most prominent features in a rustic design is the floor, which typically runs throughout the entire home (or at least the main living areas). While some interior designers prefer more smooth finish floors with subtle texture, rustic remains a popular option—and for good reason!

A hand-scraped floor from a leading manufacturer is beautiful, durable, and forgiving. Families that don’t want to give up an active lifestyle with kids, pets, and general wear and tear can feel free to live life on a rustic floor, trusting that imperfections will blend into its charm.

Woodboys has what you want if you intend to take advantage of the return to rustic floors. Our sales staff can help you decide whether hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or laminate is the right fit for you. Then, we will show you our favorite floors to recreate the look you see on home improvement shows in your home.

Our Favorite Rustic Floors

You could spend hours in our vast showroom, taking in all of the flooring samples we have to offer. To help you identify the looks you like, we have compiled this list of our favorite rustic floors. Let this kickstart your shopping!

Johnson Hardwoods Tuscan Series in Sienna

Get a high-end custom look with the random width planks of Johnson’s Tuscan Series. The collection will bring together the design of your home, especially in the warm hues found in the Sienna pictured here. It is a warm and inviting shade, perfect to make your spaces feel intimate and cozy. The hand-scraped design of the floor is what gives it that rustic twist, but you will also get plenty of knots and fill marks throughout the floor to make it look even more authentically aged.

LW Sonoma Valley in Cabernet

Another random-width floor, the LW Sonoma Valley series is going to give you great farmhouse vibes. The color Cabernet is stunning, just a touch darker than the Johnson Hardwoods floor above. This floor will be marked by beautiful black fill marks that give it the appearance of having aged straight out of the box. If you want a durable hickory floor that will withstand the test of time, look no further.

Palmetto Road Mountain Ridge in Bristol

While the LW and Johnson Hardwoods floors are gorgeous and high-end, we also have budget-friendly wood floors that will recreate a similar aesthetic. Palmetto Road’s Mountain Ridge collection is a favorite because of its wide planks, beautiful scraping and texture, and its amazing color palette (Bristol is shown here). From the lightest light of a natural hickory to the darkest darks, they supply you with the ideal color palette. You still get an incredible warranty and a durable finish, but it won’t break the budget.

LW Riverstone in Topaz Lagoon

Some homeowners aren’t convinced that hardwood is the right fit for their home because they need a floor that is more water-resistant. Luxury vinyl plank still has a lot to deliver for a homeowner who wants a rustic look throughout the property. LW’s Riverstone collection in the color Topaz Lagoon has what you need in your floor: texture, 7-inch planks, water resistance, a durable finish, and a color that coordinates with almost all décor ideas.

Windlass Pollux in Foxglove

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn’t highlight a quintessential Charleston floor: the Windlass Pollux collection in the color Foxglove. This luxury vinyl plank is designed to reflect the beauty of a heart pine floor, something that you see in abundance in the historic homes downtown. But instead of having to install, sand, and finish the floors in your home, this LVP option allows you to lay down new floors in a matter of hours. You get the look of real pine floors combined with real texture to make it seem authentic so that your guests never know the difference!
