The overall feel of the wood under your feet is another factor you should take into consideration when you are choosing which material to use. You should select something that would feel comfortable and pleasant.

You should also think about on which part of the house you plan to install the wooden floors in. It is not for example, advisable to use wood in areas that tend to have a lot of moisture (e.g. bathrooms, laundry area) as water damages wood. Remember that you don’t have to cover your entire house’s floor with wood just because you can.

Lastly, you have to think of your budget and choose which kind of hardwood floor material you can afford. You don’t want to embark on a full floor renovation and find out after spending your entire budget on prime Oak wood panels that you were only able to buy enough to cover half the living room’s floor, do you?

Nothing like a hand rubbed tung oil floor eh? Can't beat it, for the "feel" of hand rubbed under your feet. Chemical burns suck. Make sure it's 100% tung oil.

here's a pic of what I'm talking about.
