3 KEYS TO ESTABLISHING SUCCESSFUL HOME FLOORING SYSTEMS

  • Determine your home’s color scheme before purchasing flooring. It’s important to ensure that your floor pattern complements the interior design of your home. Contrasting colors can create a disjointed appearance that may detract from an otherwise quality product.
  • Make sure that only three different floor patterns are visible from any point in your home. While four rooms may be visible from one standpoint, only three floor patterns should exist. Competing floor types can detract from a home’s sense of togetherness.
  • Compare your preferred flooring colors and textures before buying them. In order to create a unified household, each color and/or texture should blend into the next. While it’s certainly possible to have extremes in color and texture throughout an entire house, connecting rooms should maintain a continuity of color at the very least.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLOORING

Overall, small homes benefit from a single type and color of flooring throughout the primary living space. A single home flooring system attributed to one level creates visual expansion. Conversely, those with large rooms may want to consider two different types of flooring, such as a carpet superimposed over a hardwood floor, to break up the monotony of the hardwood.

Living Rooms, typically situated directly next to the home’s foyer or entryway, should match the entryway’s color. This creates a semblance of connection, even if the textures differ.

Kitchens benefit from flooring that is easy to clean, such as tile or laminate. Those with kitchens that offer seating may want to avoid wood flooring, as chairs can cause scratching.

Family Rooms that run into the kitchen should follow the kitchen’s color theme, but generally differ in terms of texture. Kitchens are often outfitted with hard flooring such as tile or laminate. Family rooms, conversely, benefit from carpeting to create a sense of warmth.

Bedroom flooring options vary depending upon occupants. Children’s rooms should generally be designed for easy clean up. In such case, carpeting may not be the best option. Master bedrooms, however, can easily be prepared for plush carpet, hardwood flooring, or tile, depending on the interior design plan.
