What does walnut flooring look like?
Walnut is a straight-grained hardwood that ranges from deep chocolate to light tan. Heartwood, or the wood that comes from the center of the tree, bears deep brown hues with often purple or reddish tints. The outermost portion of the tree, known as sapwood, is typically a pale blonde or tan color. The beauty of a walnut floor truly cannot be replicated.
Unlike maple and cherry, as walnut wood ages, the color will lighten slightly and a rich honey color will start to show through the grain.
