Oak
Oak flooring is one of the most popular hardwood flooring options in North America. Oak tends to be quite resilient; it resists deep scratches and dents well. It is a good choice if you don’t want to use area rugs or throw rugs, as it tends to stay relatively smooth.
Mahogany
As far as cost goes, mahogany tends to be a bit more but if you’re considering it, it is well worth the cost. The rich coloring of mahogany makes it a beautiful, classic choice. It is water-resistant and extremely durable flooring choice.
Ash
Ash is a very hard hardwood. If you see a light-colored hardwood, it is often Ash. Many homeowners see it as one of the toughest flooring choices. Aesthetically, it is similar to Hickory, but Ash tends to have white spots in the darker parts of the wood.
Hickory
Hickory is a good choice for families or homeowners who are expecting their floors to get a lot of traffic. It is on the harder end of the scale, and it goes with a variety of designs. Its character markings make hickory a great choice for a adding a more “rustic” feel to your room design.
Pine
Pine is a relatively soft wood, which makes it easy on the feet if you want the look of hardwood with out the hardness. Pine flooring planks tend to have a lot of character marks, which give it an interesting aesthetic. As for cost, it falls somewhere in the middle. It’s not a particularly expensive choice, but it’s also not super cheap.
Maple
Bamboo
