3 Ways to Renovate Your Floors This Spring

Now that winter is over, you might be looking to freshen up your interiors. Adding a coat of paint is one of the easiest ways to bring new life into your home but have you considered your flooring?

Trends for flooring have changed over the years with hardwood being the primary choice for living spaces as well as bedrooms. Before considering an update for your flooring be sure to take a couple of things into consideration.

Will your family eat or drink in this room? Do you have pets?  And will this be a high traffic area?

Hardwood Floors

The use of hardwood floors in homes goes back centuries. And while the use of hardwood is almost timeless, there are subtle changes in styles. From small planks to larger planks. From lighter colors to dark colors. Now it seems the trend is to go back to a lighter color wood.

However, there are a few drawbacks to hardwood floors. You have to be okay with scratches (or should we say weathering). Be cautious of using hardwood floors in kitchens or bathrooms, because sinks leak and toilets, easily damaging your beautiful hardwood floors.

Luxury Vinyl Floors 

This is not your grandmother’s vinyl floors.  They’ve chosen to call these new vinyl floors luxury because it’s all of the benefits of hardwood floors without the upkeep and maintenance. There are an array of colors and plank widths to choose from when selecting a vinyl floor that has the look of hardwood. A benefit of the vinyl flooring that mimics hardwood is the tight seams and a flat level surface that prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from seeping under the floor and promoting the growth of mold and mildew as well as a protective surface that resists scratches, scuffs. and dents.

Tile

With open concept floor plans, you may already have hardwood in your kitchen. However, bathrooms and laundry rooms are still using tile as the flooring of choice. Tile is long-lasting and low-maintenance, ceramic tile also feels cool underfoot. Tile can now have the look of marble but still be a ceramic tile.
