If you want to make the holidays special this year, simply add some spectacular new luxury vinyl flooring into your home. Available in both luxury vinyl plank and luxury vinyl tile, Karastan LuxeCraft mimics the most amazing finds Mother Nature has to offer from literally all over the world.

While LuxeCraft beautifully replicates the looks of both real-live stone and traditional hardwood flooring, and since the lion’s share of its lineup features wildly-popular wood lookalikes, we thought we’d explore some of the tried-and-true hardwood species you can now find in these amazing new collections from Karastan.

It’s hard to go wrong with the look of oak hardwood.

With roughly 600 species of oak trees worldwide and almost 90 varieties that grow in the U.S., it’s perhaps not a big surprise that almost two-thirds of the hardwood flooring currently installed in America is oak. Just in time for Thanksgiving and the entertaining that will likely ensue, LuxeCraft offers you a veritable cornucopia of oak luxury vinyl flooring to choose from.

Featuring straight grains and lighter brown tones, this sextet of LuxeCraft oak selections can accommodate a wide variety of different styles, including classic, contemporary and country.

Maple LuxeCraft luxury vinyl flooring: how sweet it is.

Maple is uber-popular today since it has a lighter more open grain pattern that creates a very sleek and refined look. While maple does add visual interest thanks to random specks and occasional dark streaks, for the most part it lets your unique artwork and accent pieces take center stage.

Styles that are in maple’s wheelhouse include transitional, eclectic and contemporary. A quick perusal of the LuxeCraft maple lineup will confirm that fact.

Want strong striking contrast colors? Hickory is your pick.

Sometimes also referred to as pecan, the LuxeCraft hickory look comes complete with plenty of character, color variations and delicate wood grains. Mocha tones are often prevalent, along with warm beige hues accompanied by dark brown streaks.

To make an even more striking statement, you can go with a herringbone pattern where how you have the vinyl plank flooring installed creates an even more distinctively unique appearance.

When bold never gets old, you’ll go nuts over walnut.

When it’s walnut you want, the colors can vary from a lighter shade of brown to a rich dark chocolate hue. Add in some large straight grain patterns and you’ve set the stage perfectly for introducing some drama into your home.

Walnut, even in it’s LuxeCraft iteration, is also synonymous with sophistication, elegance and beauty.

For the lighter side of life, try ash vinyl plank flooring.

Just like its name suggests, the ash variety of Karastan LuxeCraft vinyl flooring is pale in color, skewing from light beige to a light brown hue. Which makes it the perfect selection if your home happens to have an open floor plan or if you have lots of windows that bring in a preponderance of glorious natural light.

Finally, when you take all of this wonderful wood-look vinyl flooring and add in the stone-look ones too, one simple conclusion becomes abundantly clear. You really need to come see the entire Karastan LuxeCraft lineup for yourself right at your neighborhood Front Range Carpet Exchange.

So be sure to stop by. LuxeCraft will have you, your friends and family all saying “Bravo!”
