ether you’re looking for flooring appropriate for your wine cellar or just want hardwood floors with some history, then you might consider floor boards made from reclaimed wine barrels.

These floors definitely won’t look like they were just laid. Made from oak wine barrel tops and bottoms, they will feel rustic and warm in your home. You can get pieces that contain cooperage marks and winery stamps, for true authenticity.

Of course, you’ll pay for this look. Prices start around $35 per square foot, and that’s not including installation. It could be perfect for a wine cellar, but you might want to think twice before doing the great room in the stuff!

Vinyl might not be a material you associate with the luxury look, especially when it comes to flooring, but you might be impressed by some of the qualities of “Plynyl.”

This woven vinyl fabric gives you a floor covering that is “rich with woven texture and color.” It’s durable and easy to keep clean too, which may make it a more practical choice than carpet. At the same time it’s not as hard and unforgiving as tile, hardwoods, and laminate.

The 18″ Plynyl tiles are bonded to a heavy-duty vinyl backing, which is reinforced with a non-woven ceramic mesh. The backing also contains 15% post industrial recycled content.
