In terms of colour and uniqueness, cherry is one of the best materials you can choose for your new hardwood flooring. Cherry wood flooring brings a very warm character to your home due to its fascinating reddish hue, making it the perfect choice for homeowners seeking a chic yet cheerful ambience in their homes.

However, there is no need to sacrifice quality and durability for style with cherry wood flooring; it is also a hard, water-repellent, multi-purpose material as well as being extremely attractive to both the eye and the touch.

Here are a few tips to bear in mind before buying cherry hardwood flooring:

• Colour – Decide exactly what shade you would like, and consider which colour will best complement your interior decor. Choose from bright reds to deep, reddish browns.

• Price – As with other types of hardwood flooring, always shop around online to get the best deal. Cherry is not as widely available as oak or maple hardwood flooring, so be prepared to pay a little more for this individual and exclusive material

• Installation – Due to slight difficulty involved in installing cherry wood flooring properly, it is always recommended to hire a professional to do the job for you.
