Introduction

Few design details can match the timeless beauty and personal touch of wood crests and medallions.

At Classic Flooring And Design, we help homeowners and DIY enthusiasts bring their vision to life with custom wood accents that blend seamlessly into their space.

What Is Crests/Medallions?

Crests/Medallions refers to intricately crafted inlays—often circular, square, or custom-shaped—that are embedded into hardwood flooring. These pieces are made from a variety of wood species, sometimes paired with stone or metal, to create rich color contrasts and patterns. You can choose from classic designs, family crests, geometric shapes, or fully personalized motifs. The finished surface is smooth underfoot, with a natural wood texture that feels both warm and substantial.

Top Features & Benefits

• Durability – Built from premium hardwoods, wood crests and medallions can last for decades, even in high-traffic areas.
  Side note: Like all wood products, they may require refinishing over time to maintain their beauty.
• Style Versatility – From traditional elegance to modern minimalism, designs can be tailored to match any décor style.
• Easy Maintenance – Once sealed and finished, they can be cleaned the same way as the rest of your hardwood floor.
  Side note: Deep cleaning should be done with wood-safe products to avoid finish damage.
• Installation Advantages – Many medallions are pre-assembled, allowing for faster and more precise installation.
• Eco-Friendliness – By choosing sustainably sourced hardwoods, you can enjoy a beautiful design while supporting responsible forestry.

What Sets Crests/Medallions Apart?

Unlike mass-produced flooring details, wood crests and medallions are a true marriage of art and craftsmanship. Each piece is cut, shaped, and assembled with precision, ensuring perfect alignment and a flawless finish. The layered combination of different woods creates depth and contrast that paint, stain, or synthetic alternatives simply can’t replicate. This makes every medallion not just a design choice—but a conversation piece.

Best Areas of the Home

Wood crests and medallions shine in entryways where they create a memorable first impression, living rooms where they define gathering spaces, and dining rooms where they anchor the table area. They are also stunning in hallways to break up long stretches of flooring with a decorative touch.

Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or laundry rooms, as prolonged exposure to moisture may damage the wood.
