Why is this flooring my favorite?"I have many favorites but right now I am really impressed with the Brazilian Walnut French Bleed option for its aesthetics. I could not use this solid construction in my own home as I would need a more stable engineered version. I have a concrete floor and the solid would warp. That being said, the species of walnut used has amazing color variation, plank to plank. Part of what separates a wood floor from a plastic laminate is this natural variation in tones and grains. They are rich colors as well, some with Merlot hues, some with Chocolate, some with a Sage tone. When these are randomized throughout the room it is an inspiring view and creates comfort. This is the perfect floor to add the French Bleed (dark edge) element on all four sides.
The dark edging between the strips of wood which individually contain the variety of colors, creates the frame of separation between the planks allowing the colors to visually POP out of the planks."
