Can I see hardwood flooring before I buy via software/tool?

I want to install hardwood floors in my home office. I would love to see what they will look like before I spend the money. Does anyone know of a way that I can upload my photo and apply different floors to it? It seems like this should be possible. If not, maybe I can hire a graphic artist?

I'll search, while you Cool wait.

Whew!  This was certainly a search out of the ordinary.  But I managed to find an online tool to help you design a room and view different wood flooring species in different rooms available on the site.  Of all the tools I've seen, they are the best.  BUT, I looked to see if you could upload a photo of the room you are trying to design, and that is the most difficult part.  I image it would be difficult because the site would have to create a method in which your selection needs to flow with the orientation of the room in the photograph.  And because everyone's room, as well as photo will be different.  I would gather that this task, if provided by any website, other than a floor plan website, will be difficult to do.  But you may click on the "contact NWFA" link at the bottom of the page to inquire of such an interactive tool enabling you to upload.  I'm sorry I could not be of further assistance, but here is

the link.

Nowadays almost anything can be done by photoshop. You might ask a  design student to help you out if you don't want to spend lots of money. You can also try this site:

I found one retailer of wood flooring that has an application that allows you to upload your own images....

you have to register for the free software - but I've used it with no issues.
