Tips & Trends
There are no rules when choosing a floor. Just
listen to your heart. (Unless your heart only likes
beige, and then you might want to listen to some
experts, too.)

Don’t be afraid of color
Burnt ochre, shale green, lemon curry. If it makes
you feel good, by all means use it. Color is one of
the best ways to spice up a room and create personality

Carpet
Textures, patterns, loops and twists. Carpet offers a wide variety of styles and
statements. Think family room that invites bare feet or a master bedroom that
is both sanctuary and sexy.

Area Rugs
The room’s “fifth wall,” an area rug can be a dramatic work of art. These
rugs add style over neutral carpet, complement traditional hardwood or
add warmth to any ceramic floor.

Hardwood
The newest trends are woods such as bamboo, teak and Brazilian cherry.
Think about trying different widths to add a healthy dose of wow.

Ceramic
Ceramics are appearing in all sorts of new places. Bring them out of the
bathroom and introduce them to the living room. Trends include different size
tiles and unique border treatments.

Laminate
Today’s laminates convey looks so authentic you’d swear they were the real
thing. From hardwood to tile, there’s a huge selection out there.

Environmental

Many people are looking for eco-friendly flooring products. Ceramic tile is a product that is good for the environment. Ceramic is mostly made up of clay and glass substances. This makes ceramic tile a renewable resource, the earth does not have a shortage of mud or sand and the earth is constantly remaking these materials.

Also, ceramic does not give off any toxins so it does not make indoor air pollution worse and it does not absorb odors so if you buy ceramic tile, then paint the room, the paint fumes will not stick to the tile.

Ceramic tile is also a good insulator and will help the energy efficiency of your home. Ceramic tile has been used for hundreds of years and may have been the first flooring material ever to be used. You just can’t beat flooring that has proven itself over and over again for hundreds of years with little to no impact on the environment.
