Wonderful World

A large variety of floor-covering styles gives you lots of choices for each area of your house. You have to make a decision whether you want carpeting, vinyl, marble, porcelain, granite tile or hardwood floors.

Looking at the many options in carpeting is a good place to begin. There are many carpet options available including short shag, long shag, indoor/outdoor and burlap. You may buy cheap or expensive ones. The trick is that if you purchase a high quality padding which goes under the carpet, you may then buy a less expensive brand of carpet which will last a very long time. The padding will cost more depending on the thickness. However, you will be ahead of the game in the end. Thick padding under the carpet will help keep the carpet in a good condition longer.

Carpeting is usually found in bedrooms and living rooms. But you might pick wood floors, which are getting to be more modern now. Wood floors with throw rugs are becoming popular again. Bathroom and kitchens also can be finished in marble, porcelain and granite tile, on top of the aforementioned.

It is best to choose a color that will go with anything when you are considering what color to select for your floor. These kind of floors are for life and it is possible that you might want to change colors occasionally in that certain room. Staying with neutral colors like beiges, grays and earth tones is a good bet, as they will always match other colors put with it.

Hardwood floors also have various shades to pick from. The choices will range from a lighter brown to a darker shade of brown. You need to keep in mind that the darker the color, the darker the room will look.
