When a homeowner in Cary, NC approached The Flooring Professionals LLC with a vision to transform their dark, outdated bonus room into a bright and inspiring workspace, we were all in. The original space was cloaked in tired carpeting and lacked the vibrancy and charm needed for a place of creativity and productivity.
After discussing their goals and reviewing options, the customer chose a showstopper: natural hickory hardwood installation. And what a choice it was!
Hickory is one of the hardest domestic hardwoods available, making it exceptionally durable and impact-resistant—a perfect match for high-use areas like home offices. But beyond its toughness, hickory is beloved for its rich character. Each plank tells its own story through dramatic grain patterns, color variation, and natural knots. The floor becomes a design element all on its own.
The transformation began with the removal of old carpet and pad, followed by the installation of high-quality underlayment for moisture control and sound dampening. Then, we laid each plank of prefinished natural hickory with precision and care, highlighting the room’s unique architecture and natural light.
The final result is nothing short of stunning: a warm, lively space filled with natural beauty and energy. The vibrant hickory floors breathe new life into the room, creating a polished, professional atmosphere with a rustic-modern edge.
The homeowner was absolutely thrilled with the transformation—especially how the variation in the wood adds depth and personality without the need for additional décor.
