Light, Weathered Wood Floors Dominate the Shores of Virginia

Ozark Flooring owner Terry Wood.Courtesy of Ozark Flooring.The coastal trend of lighter colors and weathered hardwood floors has taken over the eastern shores of Virginia, says Terry Wood of Chesapeake, Va.-based Ozark Flooring. It may be instinctual to see the coastal trend in a coastal area, but Wood says this trend is emerging after a long stretch of gray wood floors. “ I feel the gray trend got so over-saturated that clients returned to what naturally fits our area,” Wood says. In the last three years Wood says his clients are desiring lighter, natural color schemes and weathered-look textures.
