I was told by a builder sup that the humidity in your house should be between 30-40% otherwise you'll start seeing sort of waves in your hardwood floors.

Keeping it at that level also helps keep ice buildup on your windows low and prevents wood rot on your window sill and sides. If you have blinds you should lift them a couple inches to help dry out any moisture behind them.
