Headline: How to Modernize Your Brazilian Cherry Floors: Getting the Red Out
Is your home’s aesthetic being held back by the deep red and orange tones of traditional wood? While exotic species are known for their durability, many homeowners are now looking into refinishing Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors to better match modern, airy interior designs. At Tom & Peter Flooring . Inc, we specialize in transforming these exotic species using custom color stains designed specifically to neutralize those heavy undertones.
The Trend: From Deep Red to Scandinavian Pale
The biggest trend in Chicago hardwood flooring right now is the shift toward pale, whitewashed, and natural light-colored finishes. If you are tired of the “cherry” look, refinishing Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors with a custom stain can completely change the vibe of your home. Inspired by minimalist Scandinavian design, these lighter hues make rooms feel significantly more open, contemporary, and bright.
Our Recent Chicago Transformation
We recently completed a full renovation in Chicago, Illinois, that showcased exactly what is possible when refinishing Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors:
-
Custom Color Staining: We successfully neutralized the natural oils of the wood to achieve a modern, muted tone.
-
Premium Protection: We finished the project with Bona US Professional for a durable, high-traffic surface that lasts.
-
Staircase Remodeling: To ensure a cohesive look, we updated the existing staircase to match the new floor color, creating a seamless flow throughout the home.
Why Choose Professional Refinishing?
Refinishing exotic hardwoods requires a specific skill set because the wood is much harder than standard Red Oak. Our team has the specialized equipment and experience to ensure your floors are sanded perfectly and the custom colors take evenly.
