Top Hardwood Floor Trends in Boise Homes for 2025

If you’re thinking about updating your home this year, hardwood floors remain one of the best investments you can make. In Boise and across the Treasure Valley, homeowners are choosing styles that highlight natural beauty, durability, and sustainability.

Here’s what’s trending in 2025 — and how Staub Hardwood Restoration can help bring these looks to life in your home.

1. Natural, Matte Finishes

Gone are the days of overly shiny floors. Boise homeowners are leaning toward natural, matte finishes that highlight the wood’s grain and texture. These finishes are easier to maintain, hide scratches better, and create a relaxed, modern aesthetic that fits perfectly with Idaho’s casual, outdoor-inspired lifestyle.

💡 Pro Tip: A water-based finish gives you that natural look while being environmentally friendly and quick-drying.

2. Wide Plank Floors

Wide planks — typically 5 to 9 inches — are gaining popularity for both traditional and modern homes. They make rooms appear larger and showcase the wood’s natural variation more beautifully than narrow planks.

At Staub Hardwood Restoration, we often recommend engineered wide planks for Boise homes because they handle the area’s dry winters and warm summers without warping.

3. Light and Natural Tones

Lighter floors — think white oak, ash, or light maple — are replacing darker stains. These tones brighten up homes, reflect more natural light, and pair perfectly with minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired designs that are trending throughout Boise neighborhoods like Harris Ranch and the North End.

4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Choices

As sustainability becomes more important to Boise homeowners, so does choosing eco-friendly flooring. Options like FSC-certified hardwood, reclaimed wood, and low-VOC finishes are all on the rise.

Not only are these floors better for the environment, but they also add a story and warmth to your home that can’t be replicated with synthetic products.

5. Mixed-Width Planks and Patterned Installs

For homeowners who want something unique, mixed-width planks and herringbone or chevron patterns are making a big comeback in 2025. These custom installations add a sense of craftsmanship and style that stands out — perfect for entryways, dining rooms, or open-concept spaces.

6. Seamless Transitions Between Rooms

More Boise homeowners are choosing to run the same hardwood throughout the home — kitchen, living areas, and even bedrooms. This creates a cohesive, open look that adds value and makes homes feel more spacious.

💡 Pro Tip: Engineered hardwood is ideal for kitchens and basements, where moisture levels can fluctuate.
