Summer is the season of transformation—longer days, fresh energy, and time to finally tackle that home project you’ve been thinking about all year. For many homeowners, that means updating their flooring. But with so many styles, materials, and features to consider, where do you begin?
At Carpets N More, we know flooring isn’t just about style—it’s about how you live. Whether you’re refreshing a single room or remodeling your entire home, this guide will help you choose the right flooring for your space, your lifestyle, and your summer goals.
1. Start with Lifestyle First, Not Looks
Yes, aesthetics matter—but lifestyle matters more. Ask yourself:
-
Do you have pets or young kids?
-
Do you entertain often?
-
Is the space high-traffic or low-maintenance?
-
Do you need something waterproof?
-
Will it be exposed to outdoor elements (like near a pool or patio)?
Narrowing down how you live in the space helps rule out products that won’t hold up over time—and directs you to options that will.
2. Understand the Top Flooring Types Available
Here’s a quick breakdown of the most popular flooring types to consider:
Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Durable, waterproof, and realistic in appearance, LVP is a top pick for families and active households. It mimics the look of hardwood or stone while being more budget-friendly and resistant to wear.
Best for: Kitchens, hallways, basements, kids’ rooms, and anywhere water or messes might happen.
Hardwood
Classic, timeless, and a top investment for resale value. Hardwood brings warmth and elegance but does require a bit more care and isn’t always ideal for high-moisture areas.
Best for: Living rooms, bedrooms, and formal spaces with moderate foot traffic.
Laminate
An affordable alternative to hardwood with decent durability. It’s come a long way in terms of style but isn’t as moisture-resistant as LVP.
Best for: Bedrooms, offices, or upper-level spaces where water isn’t a concern.
Tile
Cool, clean, and perfect for desert climates, tile is unmatched for water resistance and easy cleaning. Choose from porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone.
Best for: Bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor-adjacent spaces.
Carpet
Comfort underfoot and great for reducing noise. Carpet remains a popular choice in bedrooms and family rooms, especially with upgraded padding and stain-resistant options.
Best for: Bedrooms, playrooms, and areas where softness and warmth matter.
3. Match Flooring to Room Use
Choosing the right flooring also means thinking about how each room functions.
| Room | Top Flooring Choices |
|---|---|
| Kitchen | LVP, Tile, Hardwood |
| Bathroom | Tile, Waterproof LVP |
| Living Room | Hardwood, LVP, Carpet |
| Bedroom | Carpet, Hardwood, Laminate |
| Basement | Waterproof LVP, Tile |
| Entryway/Mudroom | Tile, Waterproof LVP |
Our design consultants can walk you through how each material performs in specific rooms, especially considering the hot, dry Las Vegas climate.
4. Consider Color and Style Trends
Summer is a great time to embrace light, airy colors and natural textures:
-
Warm blondes and neutral taupes help brighten darker rooms.
-
Distressed and hand-scraped textures add character and hide wear.
-
Large-format tile creates a more modern, seamless look.
-
Patterned carpet adds visual interest in bedrooms or staircases.
If you’re unsure what matches your home’s aesthetic, our design team is here to help. You can also explore our flooring galleries online or visit our Design Center in Boca Park to see samples in person.
5. Budget Smart—but Don’t Sacrifice Quality
Summer remodels can get costly—especially if flooring is just one part of a larger project. But investing in the right flooring now can save you time and money in the long run.
Tips for staying on budget:
-
Take advantage of seasonal promotions (like our current summer sale, which includes an additional 10% off your preferred product category when using promo code SUMMERSALE2025).
-
Compare warranties—some LVP options come with 20+ year protection.
-
Ask about financing options to spread out the investment.
At Carpets N More, we’ll work with your goals and your budget to find the best flooring solution.
6. Don’t Forget Installation Timing
Summer is our busiest season for a reason—everyone wants their remodel done before the new school year or the holiday season rush. Be sure to schedule your installation as early as possible to secure your preferred timeframe.
Pro tip: Flooring like LVP and tile can often be installed faster than hardwood, especially if you’re covering a large area.
We’ll help you plan the project from selection to installation, ensuring it goes smoothly from start to finish.
