Some species are constantly chosen; however, the following rank reasonably high on the Janka Scale of wood hardness. They all coordinate well with any decor.
Oak: the “king” of hardwood floors
Everyone loves an oak floor! There are two versions: white oak, which starts as a light brown/tan and deepens with time. The raised grains of this closed pore wood give a slightly distressed look with a sense of heritage.
Red oak hardwood floors are well-known for their pinkish-reddish undertone. This is an opened pore wood with a wider and coarse grain pattern. This wood also has lots of swirls.
Maple: another popular one
This wood has a subtle, fine closed grain. The grain pattern is pretty straight and subtle, with some cathedrals (waves)). Color ranges from white to reddish brown.
Hickory: the strongest domestic species
If you want something ultra-durable, mocha-colored wood is it! It was once used for gymnasium floors.
