(BPT) — Hardwood floor- ing brings enduring beau- ty, charm and value to a home. Not content to keep a good thing underfoot, inspired homeowners are now finding new and cre- ative locations to use it for a dramatic effect. Here are just a few of the many considerations for creatively using hardwood flooring: ■ Deck the walls. Just like floors, there are a mul- titude of colors, patterns and finishes that can be installed on walls. After choosing the hardwood to match your décor, design a layout for how high you want it to go and how you want the planks posi- tioned. Choose a horizon- tal layout for a traditional look, or go with a vertical or diagonal layout for a more distinctive state- ment. It's important to decide this in advance to avoid wasting materials. ■ Ceilings to look up to. If you want your ceil- ing to take center stage, it's best to keep the floor neu- tral and muted. For cohe- sion, use the same tone on both the ceiling and floor. In an all-white room, try a wooden ceiling with a matte finish for a comple- mentary look. ■ Make more of less. Hardwood flooring accents can help you make the most of a smaller space. In the bedroom, place hard- wood flooring around and above your bed to create a headboard. This creates a familiar look and ties a room together without tak- ing up extra space. Anoth- er idea is to use hardwood flooring to create an accent wall. This makes the room feel larger by focusing attention to one wall. ■ Choose the right flooring. Lighter-weight products — usually 5/16- inch to 1/2-inch thick — are easier to install and keep in place over time. Flooring types and tex- tures such as acacia or handscraped styles add a distinctive character to rooms.
