I am a brunette (full blooded Puerto-Rican to be exact - Õye, don’t let the last name fool ya.) So I’ve always taken the statement “Blondes have more fun” with a grain of salt (or adobo!)
Light airy flooring, especially white oak, is having its time to shine! It’s all the rage.
Not only is it on-trend but it is also practical. Lighter stains tend to show more of the wood grain’s raw beautiful natural character from knot holes to mineral streaks. Lighter wood floors typically show less wear and tear than darker floors too. Less scuffs, less dirt, less everyday sins. Very forgiving. Especially in a low gloss/matte finish.
Now that’s a win/win!
Blondes come in many different shades. Which one is right for your complex? Here’s a few looks that exude this trend from frosted, natural, and strawberry to dirty blonde and everything in between.
