Consider This When Picking the Perfect Flooring

Finding the right floor choice within the right budget can be exhausting. First thing I figure out when I’m starting a new renovation:

1. The amount of natural light that exists in the space throughout the day

2. The color the cabinets will be painted, and

3. The flooring.

For flooring combinations, I usually order a handful of samples for colors I think will fit the space, but I also make sure to order a handful of flooring options that could possibly fit the space but I’m unsure. This allows me to cross-compare different styles and color variations, before I start honing down a specific path and cut short the creativity process. Plus, you never know what flooring will actually look like in a space until you have it in the actual house… samples let you test it!

Here’s my master list of go-to places for flooring options:

• LL Flooring (formerly Lumber Liquidators)

  • My current 2021 renovation uses “Toffee” engineered bamboo from Aquaseal

• Home Depot

  • Generally for Tile ifI need tile ASAP… Home Depot usually has enough in stock!
