Low Key Floors

The Floor is a Key to Style!
For Arts & Crafts-inspired homes built at the end of the Victorian era and into the 20th century, many flooring types are appropriate—and available again today.
20th Century Flooring Options
From stone to strip flooring, cork to bamboo, the 20th century arguably gave us the broadest choices of any era for flooring. Here are precedents and options to help you choose wisely.
The Floor Can Make the Room
An existing floor, be it tongue-and-groove pine or 1920s tile, sets the tone. If you are doing a major renovation or building new, anchor the room with the right floor, even before you choose moldings and wall colors and furniture.
