Pairing Home Decor and Floors

As the New Year rolls in so many of us make resolutions we aim to keep. Some of the most common resolutions are to lose weight, save money, spend more time with family, and the daunting decision to make changes around the house.

For many people, their home is more than just a place to live, it’s a place they love to live, a place they feel comfortable. A home provides lasting memories to pass on.

This year, stick to your goal of redecorating your home. Pairing your home decor with your floors will give all who enter the room the perception of a spacious and user friendly area.

Here are a few things to consider when Pairing flooring to match your home decor:

  1. What room is best to start with? Start first with your favorite room in the house. Look at the items in the room a picture what flooring you would like, then picture the flooring that will match the items in the room. If you need help you can always look at flooring on Houzz and Pinterest. Those platforms offer an abundance of design ideas.
  2. Establish the Decor of your room: It doesn’t matter if your room has Mid- Century Modern decor consisting of refined lines, silhouettes, and natural shapes or if it has Shabby chic decor emphasizing vintage elements representing soft and opulent textiles; any theme room can be matched with stand-out flooring.
  3. Color: Everyone has this misconception that flooring color must match the decor, that is far from the truth. Flooring doesn’t have to match all the decor, nor does it have to be in the same color tones/and or color family to look good. Focus on the theme created in the room and pair the flooring around the theme. If your considering wood flooring Gray, Blonde, and Dark wood are bold and fun looks to consider.
  4. Create a budget: Creating a budget for flooring doesn’t have to be stressful. Once you know what flooring you want in the entire home, or in each individual room, consider the high traffic areas and what will work best in those spaces. All that’s left to do is contact a professional carpet and flooring company to install the flooring.
