How to Choose Flooring That Complements Hawaiian Home Design

Capturing the essence of island living

At Bougainville Flooring Super Store in Honolulu, we understand that flooring is the foundation of your Hawaiian dream home. It sets the stage for every other design choice, from furniture to decor. That’s why we offer an extensive selection of flooring options that capture the essence of island style:

• Hardwood flooring in rich, warm tones that evoke the natural beauty of the tropics
• Luxury vinyl plank that offers the look of wood or stone with added durability
• Durable, water-resistant tile that stands up to sandy feet and wet swimsuits
• Stylish, versatile area rugs that add a pop of island-inspired color and pattern

Hardwood: A timeless choice for island homes

Hardwood flooring is a classic choice that never goes out of style, and it’s especially well-suited to Hawaiian homes. The rich, warm tones of hardwood perfectly complement the natural materials and earthy color palettes that are hallmarks of island design.

At Bougainville Flooring, we offer a wide selection of hardwood options that capture the essence of Hawaii. From the honey-golden hues of bamboo to the rich, reddish tones of cherry, our hardwood flooring adds depth, warmth, and natural beauty to any space.

• Bamboo: This sustainable, durable hardwood is a popular choice for eco-conscious homeowners. Its unique grain patterns and range of colors make it a versatile option for any style.
• Cherry: With its rich, reddish hues and smooth, even grain, cherry hardwood adds a touch of elegance and warmth to Hawaiian homes. It pairs beautifully with natural materials like rattan and sea grass.
• Hickory: Known for its exceptional durability and striking grain patterns, hickory is a smart choice for busy island households. Its light to medium brown tones work well with a variety of decor styles.

Luxury vinyl: The best of both worlds

Want the look of hardwood or stone but need something extra durable and water-resistant? Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring might be your perfect match. This innovative material combines the beauty of natural materials with the practicality of vinyl.

Our LVP selection features an array of wood and stone looks that are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Choose from:

• Realistic wood grains in a range of colors and plank widths
• Convincing stone looks like slate, travertine, and marble
• Textured surfaces that mimic the feel of natural materials

LVP is also incredibly durable, standing up to heavy foot traffic, spills, and scratches. It’s a smart choice for active households with kids or pets. Plus, it’s more affordable than hardwood or stone, making it a budget-friendly way to get a high-end look.

Tile: Durable, water-resistant, and stylish

In Hawaii’s humid, rainy climate, moisture is always a consideration. That’s where tile flooring really shines. It’s durable, easy to clean, and virtually waterproof – perfect for busy families who spend lots of time at the beach or pool.

At Bougainville Flooring, we carry a vast array of tile options to suit any taste or budget. From classic ceramic to luxurious natural stone, our tile selection offers endless possibilities for creative expression.

• Ceramic: A budget-friendly option, ceramic tile comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and sizes. It’s low-maintenance, long-lasting, and resistant to scratches and stains.
• Porcelain: This high-end tile is even more durable and water-resistant than ceramic. It’s an ideal choice for heavy-traffic areas or wet spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and lanais.
• Natural stone: For a truly luxurious look, consider natural stone tile. Options like slate, travertine, and marble add depth, texture, and organic beauty to your home. Each tile is uniquely crafted by nature, ensuring a one-of-a-kind look.

Area rugs: Adding softness and style

Even in the most tile- or wood-floored Hawaiian home, area rugs are a must. They add warmth, softness, and a pop of color or pattern to your space. They can also help define different living areas in an open-concept home.

Our selection of area rugs features a variety of island-inspired designs, from bold tropical florals to muted coastal hues. Whether you’re looking for a natural fiber rug to complement your hardwood floors or a plush, colorful accent for your living room, we have you covered.
