Buying Tips for Hardwood Flooring:

Color.
Generally darker wood tones lend a more formal, traditional feel to any room, while lighter tones tend to be better suited for contemporary, country and casual styles. But since this is hardwood we're talking about, nothing is set in stone. So by all means, let your personal taste, preference, and style be your guide.

Location.
Without a doubt, moisture is one of hardwood's most dreaded enemies. Which is why placing wood flooring in a full bath would be a bad idea--because of the heavy moisture content in the room. Likewise, you should avoid putting hardwood in any room that, elevation-wise, is lower than the level of your yard outside. Gutters should flow water away from the house. Again, because moisture could become a big problem. Even there is a coating on the surface of the wood, some moisture comes from the floor up also, but if you really want to gamble with your investment at least use a top of the line moisture resistant wood glue ( read the bucket ) and even think about the sealing the floor first.
