Recently I came across a Sotheby's real estate listing in Chevy Chase DC which featured whitewashed wood floors. Originating from Swedish interiors, this light floor color lends a serene feel to spaces and I often recommend it to clients seeking to update their typical yellow/orange oak floors to a lighter, more neutral tone.
This floor finish is also very versatile and can accommodate a range of different styles perfectly. Whether your taste leans rustic, modern or more traditional go ahead and consider a whitewashed finish for your floors!
