Wood floor borders can make your home look more sophisticated and impress your guests. Borders can be installed in any part of a house, but they’re most commonly found in hallways and in large areas where homeowners want to create an appealing visual contrast. Wood floor borders can give your house a distinctive design without going overboard. Barbati Hardwood Flooring can install decorative wood floor borders that can enhance your home’s appearance.
What Do Wood Floor Borders Look Like?
Wood floor borders can be designed in several ways. They usually consist of strips of wood with a darker color than the rest of the floor. Several species can be used to create wood floor borders.
Some homeowners like to keep things simple by installing a thin border that runs around the perimeter of a room, while others prefer a bolder border. If you want a decorative border that’s specifically made to suit your home’s architectural design and décor, an experienced contractor can design and install one.
Can You Install Wood Floor Borders Yourself?
If you enjoy tackling DIY projects, you might be thinking about installing your own wood floor borders, but that wouldn’t be a good idea. That type of work requires meticulous measurements, plus a significant amount of training and experience.
Walls in houses are almost never completely straight. If you try to install wood floor borders yourself and you’re off just a little bit in your measurements or in your placement of the wood strips, it will be obvious when the project is finished, and you’ll be disappointed with the results.
