1. If you’re updating the look in
your home, these tips will help
you stay stylish this spring.
1. Choose flooring to fit your lifestyle. Do you have a busy family? Is your home a
showcase? Flooring designed to fit the way you live will stay beautiful longer. Rooms with
heavy foot traffic need hard wearing floors. Intimate spaces, like nurseries and bedrooms,
will benefit from something soft and cozy.
2. Make a plan. Your flooring sets the tone of your
room; think of it as a fifth wall. Your floors can be a focal
point or a backdrop. In either case, choose flooring that
complements the décor of the rest of your room.
3. Consider going green. Now, more than ever, you can find environmental choices for
any room. Look for carpets made with recycled or recyclable fibers. Choose wood floors
made from easily renewable resources like cork and bamboo.
4. Choose from a seemingly endless array of floors! Carpet
infuses a room with warmth and comes in a wide variety of
textures, colors and, decorative patterns. Laminates and
vinyl can bring in the look of natural elements with long-
lasting resiliency. Hardwood and ceramic tile offer classic
beauty and durability. Renewable resources like cork and
bamboo are becoming increasingly popular. Area rugs offer
an easy way to update a room, even on a seasonal basis!
So, go bold! Add a splash of color this season. Choose colors that take their cues from nature like honeysuckle,
turquoise, coral and honey-yellow to lift your spirits. Pair them with neutral earth tones like russet browns,
peach, pale lavender and silver grays to create a look that is both on-trend and timelessly classic.
