Armstrong Blackwater Classics Capture Rustic Appeal

Armstrong Blackwater Classics Capture Rustic Appeal

By:


Longing to outfit your home with a rustic, country setting? It all starts with a solid foundation, and in a homeowners case, that means hardwood flooring to capture the look youre going for. Armstrong Floorings Blackwater Classics is a newer collection of distressed wood floors that offers a high degree of color variations, which is perfect for the rustic, country appeal. Species included in this collection are American cherry hardwood floors and walnut hardwood floors.

Blackwater Classics floors are engineered, meaning theyre appropriate for any climate and environment, even areas that receive a fair amount of moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens.

The cherry hardwood floors and walnut hardwood floors in this collection are available in four staining options: Amberglow Cherry, Antique Natural Walnut, Fireside Cherry, and Vintage Brown Walnut. The walnut floors show more color variations than the cherry ones due to the darker staining, although the cherry woods natural reddish undertones shine through the staining beautifully.

The floors in this collection all have a low gloss finish, which adds to the country feel, as does the width of the planks five-inch planks are more of a traditional look than the more modern three-inch narrow planks.

Edges and ends are both squared rather than beveled, which again, favors traditional style and shies away from the trendier techniques used today, although thats not to say that you couldnt pair this floor with a more modern decorating scheme.

In fact this line, while it does feature distressed woods, it doesnt limit the homeowner to just one style. All colors in this collection are versatile and can be paired alongside warm and cool tones, and light and dark colors. Bold colors, furniture, and decor could modernize a room if thats what the homeowner chooses, although this style truly does favor a comfortable, casual setting. If you have sleek, skinny furniture and your kitchen has stainless steel appliances, this isnt the floor for you.

But, if you like the look of timeworn cupboards and treasure your great grandfathers antique rocking chair that has been passed down through generations, then this is definitely the hardwood floor choice for you to consider!
