How the Pros can Find Flooring to Fit Your Style

The sheer number of flooring selections available can leave you completely confused. Choosing the material for your flooring can be difficult enough, but when confronted by the sheer volume of colors, patterns and textures you may be tempted to throw up your hands in frustration. That’s when it’s time to consult with the pros. They can help you find the flooring that fits your budget and style.

Flooring experts will ask you five basic questions to ascertain any pre-existing preferences you may have and factor in your lifestyle.

1. What style do you like – contemporary, rustic, classic, minimalistic, traditional or eclectic, to name a few.
2. Where will the flooring be installed – bathroom, kitchen, living room, adult or children’s bedroom.
3. What do you find appealing – tile, carpeting, hardwood, laminate or luxury vinyl, along with lighter colors or dark.
4. What are the décor colors – will the flooring be used with existing décor colors and accents or will you be completely redecorating.
5. How do you want the room to feel – are you seeking a vibe that’s sophisticated, tropical, relaxed, formal, coastal, Bohemian, or warm and cozy.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of time cleaning, you’ll want a low-maintenance solution. You might want to impress friends and family or be preparing a home or business for sale. There are options if you want to make a room appear larger, smaller, lighter or take advantage of natural light from windows or skylights.

You may have children, seniors or pets in the home that will influence your decision. If you entertain regularly, durable flooring that can withstand frequent foot traffic may be needed. The colors, patterns, textures and materials available within the flooring industry are legion. By consulting with a pro, he or she can help you narrow the choices to accommodate your style.
