Not just for pretty porches and coastal cottages, painted floors are taking over home interiors. Images of quaint, rustic country homes or sprawling Southern porches may come to mind when you think of painted floors, and for fans of classic design, the trend is nothing new. But the latest looks prove painted floors are for every style and space, and modern applications have put a fresh (and functional) spin on the approach. Kelly DeWitt, the founder of Texas-based design-build firm KKDW Construction, notes the trend is also a budget solution.
“A painted wood floor is an excellent option for someone who has a space that has either an existing wood floor they don’t like or no floor and are looking for an affordable, customized option,” she explains.
