Designing with Wood Floors — A Conversation with Karen Asprea

from NWFA Real Answers · host National Wood Flooring Association

Recorded live at the 2026 NWFA Expo, Chris and Stephanie sit down with New York City interior designer Karen Asprea for a conversation on where design and hardwood flooring meet. Karen shares how the relationship between contractors, retailers, and designers shapes a project's success, why lookalike products are hurting the industry, and how the wood floor sets the foundation for everything else in a room. The conversation also covers the value of clear communication, choosing timeless looks over passing trends, and why nothing beats putting a physical sample in a designer's hands.
