Four tips for choosing the perfect flooring


The type of flooring you opt for can dramatically alter the appearance of your space. And, as such, it is essential to thoroughly consider the look and feel you want for that particular area. If you don’t take the time to think about the changes you want in your room, you risk disliking the result of your project. So skip all that unplanned disappointment by sticking to these four tips for choosing the perfect flooring.

1. Space


First things first – consider the use of the space you’re about to redo. Will it be a spare room or an area that will see a lot of daily traffic? Also, think about the actual size of the room. If it’s a small room, choosing a light color can make it appear larger. Whereas a darker color can make a big area feel cozier. Before you leap, however, ask your flooring company for samples. That way, you can lay them down and get a sense of what your space will look like.

2. Style


Another important consideration is whether the current décor and furniture will match the new floors. The last thing you want to do is rush out to buy new pieces because your installation clashes with what you already have. Instead, bring pictures of your current items to the showroom to ensure you select an installation that will indeed match everything.

3. Practicality


Now, think of the physical activities that will happen in your space. Is it a common area that will be busy, like the kitchen or hall, or will it seldom be used? So, if you’re redoing your kitchen, you may want an installation that's waterproof, slip-resistant, and stain-resistant. In a bedroom, you may want some coziness underfoot. There are many different types of floors, and with each of them comes a long list of unique advantages. Therefore, select a type that’s truly practical for that area.

4. Type


Lastly, take some time to get to know the different surfacing materials. Although, in the end, your choice will depend on your personal preferences, getting to know your options will help make the decision all that much easier. For instance, if you like the wood look, you can opt for solid or engineered hardwood, but did you also know luxury vinyl is manufactured in look-alike wood options too? Your best move, in this instance, is to stop by the showroom and speak to an expert who can simplify your selection.
