As every avid interior decorator knows, all design trends will come and go. Some home decorating trends have greater staying power than others do, of course, and it seems that grey flooring is a fad that’s here to stay for the long haul. So what’s the big deal about grey flooring, anyway?
Installing grey flooring in a residential setting gives homeowners more options when selecting complementary hues, such as reds, oranges, white, and black. Whether you’re looking to class-up your dining room or give your living room a more modern look, you can bet your bottom dollar there’s a grey flooring option that will look fantastic in your home.
But Which Type of Grey Flooring Should I Buy?
With literally hundreds of styles, materials, and patterns for homeowners to choose from in today’s marketplace, the process of selecting the right product for your lifestyle may seem a bit daunting at first. Fear not; you can simplify the process of purchasing new flooring for your home by eliciting the help of flooring professional.
Prior to making a purchase, be sure to do your homework on flooring contractors and labor warranties, as well as how the type of floor you want to install will perform under your home’s unique living conditions. You should feel completely confident that the company or contractor you do business with is in good standing with its previous customers and the Better Business Bureau.
Hardwood flooring is always a popular choice because of its natural beauty, sustainability, and durability. Today’s flooring manufacturers offer a wide variety of grey hardwood flooring options for homeowners to choose from, but hardwood floors are not an ideal choice for every family’s lifestyle. If your home experiences a high level of foot traffic, the finish on a traditional ¾” hardwood product may show signs of wear faster than the finish on an engineered hardwood product, a laminate, or a luxury vinyl product. Each has advantages and disadvantages, so be realistic about your expectations.
The best way to guarantee that you’re happy with your purchase is to educate yourself prior to making a contractual commitment. Don’t be afraid to ask your flooring professional lots of questions so you can ensure your new flooring will perform well over time and meet the demands of your lifestyle.
