The time has come to choose new flooring for your home. Sometimes, we are so busy with our everyday, normal tasks that we often overlook the importance of choosing the floors for our home. It is important to take into consideration how they will affect the home’s functionality and style. At Carpets N More, we have listed a few topics to consider when choosing the correct flooring for your home. Let’s take a look!

Daily Activity

Your lifestyle is critical when choosing the right floors for your home. Do you have children, pets, friends, and family coming and going? If so, your floors must withstand heavy traffic and be resilient to moisture and dirt. Ceramic tile and vinyl flooring are durable and ideal for high-traffic areas. Hardwood floors are durable but can succumb to scratching and over time, require refinishing. If you prefer a soft underfoot and have minimal traffic, consider carpet or using area rugs over hardwood and tile flooring. Just keep in mind the function and style of each room and choose your floors accordingly.

Specific Room Tips

Foyers and entryways should always have a warm welcome and introduce your home’s style. A key factor to remember for entries is to prevent dirt and debris from being tracked into the house. If snow, rain, mud, and sand are elements in the entryway, consider stone, tile, or luxury vinyl. Make sure you place an entry mat at each door to trap and absorb as much of the debris as possible. To protect your entryway’s interior floors, rugs are always the perfect solution. They are functional while adding a pop of color to enhance the foyer’s design.

Family and great rooms are active rooms, so remember that area rugs are ideal. Many people still prefer carpet in bedrooms simply for the softness and warmth on bare feet. Keep in mind that kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry/utility rooms are considered “work areas” and the flooring should resist water.

Flooring Cost

Flooring is priced per square foot for the product with additional labor costs. Understanding flooring pricing is an essential factor in keeping you on track and within your budget. Keep in mind the product’s quality for your price range. Another factor to consider is the flooring’s lifespan. Floors need to be maintained, and the type of flooring you choose will depend on how often you must replace them.
