White Oak Flooring with American Walnut Cabinets

Found these photos on Houzz.com. Of course my attention is drawn to the hardwoods used in the kitchen. This is a home in Mill Valley, California that was once a library and was converted into a home by Bay Area Designer Matt Bear who work with The Last Inch, a custom cabinetry and woodworking company. The floor is solid white oak with a matte commercial finish. The cabinets are made of solid hand-hewn American black walnut. I like finding photos that mix wood cabinets with wood floors. So many times our customers think that their hardwood floors have to match their hardwood cabinets or they think that they can't mix hardwood cabinets with hardwood floors. Whenever I see design photos like the ones below I save them so that our hardwood floor customers can see how beautiful it is to mix woods.  At Simas we carry the White Oak hardwood floor in both solid hardwood and engineered hardwood.  In the Sacramento and surrounding areas, many houses are built on concrete foundations. An engineered hardwood floor can be install on a concrete subfloor using hardwood glue. If you have questions about hardwood installation or have design questions about what would look best with your existing kitchen cabinets, give Simas a call or email us for more information. We have interior designers and installation experts who can answer your questions and help you with your flooring selections. We want you to be happy with your selections and the style of your room and understand that the floor is just the beginning. There are many other elements that should be considered when selecting a floor. Simas has qualified, experienced professionals who can help you create the room and house you want.

Laminate Floors by Mannington

Another popular hardwood and laminate look is the washed and weathered look--you can find this style hardwood floor in the latest interior design magazines and blogs. The photos below are of Mannington Laminate Black Forest, color: Oak Antiqued. Simas also installed this product on the stairs as you can see from the photos below. The laminate floor color and style adds to the modern look of the home. Notice that in the master bedroom we even installed the laminate on the wall. When installing hardwood or laminate always remember the area rugs. Simas Floor and Design Company offers design advise and custom area rugs from the best carpet companies in the US: Karastan, Tuftex, Masland, Fabrica and more.

Mannington Hardwood, Birch Espresso

Dark Hardwoods are definately very popular these days. Below are photos of a K Hovnanian model home Simas Floor and Design Company installed. The Mannington Hardwood Flooring in the color espresso gives the home a rich and warm look. The result is a home that invites family and friends to enter and feel comfortable. The area rugs in this home are from Tuftex. The light colors of the area rugs contrast beautifully with the dark hardwood floors and brighten the look of the room and helps "ground" the furniture.
