Picking the Right Hardwood Flooring
Treating the floor as more than just the cherry on top of the sundaeSometimes when clients come into our showroom looking to redo their floors, they do not always know where to begin.
One of the common concerns they have and questions they ask us is “Well, what if the floor doesn’t match my furniture?”
In a lot of home renovations or even new builds, a trend that is becoming more and more popular is for people to install hardwood throughout the entire house. This means that not only will the flooring be a part of every room in the home, it will inevitably turn into an important feature that can define the character and style represented in the home. This is why a high quality hardwood floor that will last over time is a big investment that requires careful selection.
Furthermore, once a client has decided they want to install hardwood throughout the entire house, this is a big decision seeing as once the floor is put down, it is much tougher to pull it out and replace it as opposed to switching it out like furniture.
"Hardwood Flooring Can Last a Lifetime"
By keeping this in mind, clients should envision their new floor as a character defining feature and element they love. It should not just be seen as the finishing touch or accessory that brings the room together but more so like the canvas for the artwork. Investing the money in a good quality hardwood floor that has the right stain and finish for the project, leaves the door open for unlimited possibilities when designing the rest of the home.
Lastly, you should really consider the maintenance of each type of floor.
