Popular hardwood floor colors and finishes in 2025

In 2025, the trends in colors and finishes for wooden floors continues to evolve, reflecting consumer preferences and technological innovations. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud of our expertise in the sector, having over 10 years of experience in processing wooden floors in countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This experience allows us to acquire the latest trends from the West and adapt them to the needs of our customers in Romania.

Natural wood colours they remain extremely popular, with shades ranging from the lighter tones of white oak to the darker tones of walnut. These colors not only highlight the natural beauty of the wood, but also help create a warm and welcoming environment. In our residential projects, such as the Bihor residential complexes, we have noticed a greater preference for natural shades, which integrate perfectly with the modern design of new homes.

Another important aspect is the choice between matte finishes and glossy finishes. Matte finishes offer a sleek, sophisticated look, while being less susceptible to scratches and dirt. On the other hand, high-gloss finishes can add extra sparkle and make spaces appear larger. In a recent project for a new apartment in Munich, we used UZIN’s matte finish, popular with owners for its modern look and ease of maintenance.

The impact of light colors It is significant in creating a bright space. Light wood tones can reflect natural light, making rooms appear airier. In the renovation project of a new studio apartment in Austria, we opted for a light wooden floor, which completely transformed the atmosphere of the house. Using Columbus professional sanders we managed to obtain a uniform finish that was pleasant to the touch.

Shades of grey they have gained popularity due to their elegance and versatility in interior design. These colors match perfectly with various decor styles, from minimalist to industrial. In a recent project for a hospital in Passau, we used a gray wooden floor which brought a modern and clean air to the medical space. This choice was well received due to the ease of maintenance and durability of the material.

Bold colors they can bring a touch of personality to wooden floors. By integrating vibrant shades like red or blue into flooring designs, we can create interesting focal points in interiors. For example, in the project for an Audi dealership, we used a wooden floor with red accents which gave more dynamism to the exhibition space.

In 2025, ecological finishes they are becoming an increasingly important trend as consumers become more aware of their environmental impact. We at RATGROUP SRL are committed to using sustainable products, such as Wakol and Janser adhesives, which respect the environment and do not emit toxic substances. This not only protects users’ health but also contributes to a greener future.

Textures and special effects they can add depth to hardwood floors. Using advanced milling techniques with specialized hardware, we can create unique patterns that enrich the overall look of the floor. For example, in a residential project in Bihor, we applied a textured effect to a hardwood floor, which gave the house more character.

Another popular trend is the combination of wood with other materials such as metal, stone or glass. This approach can create an interesting contrast and enhance the overall aesthetic of the space. In a recent project for a modern residential complex, we integrated wooden floors with metallic accents that give a contemporary and sophisticated air.

Wooden floors with vintage look are making a comeback, drawing inspiration from classic styles. They offer a special charm and can transform any space into a place full of character. At RATGROUP SRL we have carried out work for clients who wanted to preserve the traditional look of their homes using ancient Admonter wood.

Color and finish maintenance techniques are essential to ensuring the durability of your hardwood floors. We recommend using products specially designed for cleaning and maintenance, which help maintain the original appearance of the floor. For example, using UZIN adhesive to repair small scratches can extend the life of your floor.

Color customization it is becoming an increasingly sought-after option for customers. We at RATGROUP SRL offer customized solutions for each project, so that customers can choose the shades that best suit their style. This allows them to create a unique space that reflects their personality.

Regional trends in colors and finishes are influenced by local culture and consumer preferences. In Bihor we noticed a greater preference for the warm and natural shades of wood, which integrate perfectly with the landscape. This adaptability allows us to respond to the specific needs of our customers.

Wooden floors for commercial premises must meet specific requirements related to durability and aesthetics. We at RATGROUP SRL have worked with clients such as Caverion Deutschland GmbH and Strabag Austria, where we have implemented customized solutions to meet their specific needs.

Technological innovations in finishes influence the application process and can improve the final quality of the work. We use professional equipment from the Wolf and Janser brands to ensure uniform application of finishes, contributing to excellent results.

The minimalist aesthetic continues to gain traction in 2025, with neutral colors and simple finishes that offer a modern look. These choices are ideal for new homes or new apartments that want to create a quiet and relaxing environment. At RATGROUP SRL we adapt our working style to meet these modern needs.
