Clean-cut and contemporary, Bruce Hardwoods’ engineered Caruth Plank flooring is perfect for those who prefer open-grain hardwood floors for their homes. Made from North American maple, the crisp appearance of these woods provide the perfect accompaniment for minimalist-style decorating.
Minimalist style decorating suggests serenity and calmness, and is free of clutter. Furnishings are kept simple with understated accents. That means no bulky furniture or busy pillows, and you must use only what is needed in the room. Forget the fringe and multicolored walls. This style is all about simplicity.
The same goes for Bruce Caruth Plank. There are no dramatic markings or antiquing on the maple wood. The woods haven’t been subjected to distressing techniques or hand-scraping. Instead, this collection thrives on neutrality.
Plank Toast provides the right amount of warmth for those that still want golden undertones in a floor. Crème is also a popular choice, as both of these lighter woods look phenomenal next to open bare windows – something very popular with minimalist styles today.
Caramel ventures towards the warm side of the color spectrum, with a brandywine color. If pastels aren’t your thing, or you want still want some color to your walls, go with this. It offers a lot of versatility without feeling limited to white.
Sedona is another lovely color in this collection, although doing minimalist with a chocolate brown can be very tricky. The brown color is going to show more natural texture than the other woods, meaning the wood won’t appear as spacious. Those who opt for a darker color when trying to do minimalist will need to be mindful of this so they don’t overwhelm the room. Cream-colored walls with tan furniture or light mint-green walls with white furniture would work well for this.
All woods in this collection come in three-inch wide planks with varying lengths. Three-inch planks are all the rage right now with modern decorating. The traditional five-inch planks found in Bruce’s other collection won’t give your room that modern minimalist look.
If you want to revamp your home or are building a new one, consider Bruce Caruth Plank for your hardwood flooring needs. All floors in this collection are backed by Bruce’s 25-year structural warranty. That means you can feel good about your purchase, keeping life simple and uncluttered. Hey, that’s what you asked for, right?
