Types of Flooring and Maintenance

There’s a variety of different flooring choices, so it’s important to learn about each type before making your final decision. While your floor’s appearance is important, make sure you understand its maintenance needs and how it will look in comparison to other floors in your home.

• Wood: Whether hardwood or engineered, wood floors give your home a sophisticated, classic feel. However, wood flooring isn’t waterproof, so it is not recommended for areas with increased moisture, including laundry rooms, bathrooms and basements. This also means that you should avoid cleaning it with water, and should use a dry mop, and wood-specific cleaner when needed.

• Carpet: This cozy flooring option is the perfect way to add comfort to living areas and bedrooms. And with a wide variety of patterns and colors, you’ll be able to find one to compliment any room. Keep in mind that carpets can be difficult to keep clean. In addition to regular vacuuming, your carpet will benefit from the occasional deep cleaning. Keep carpet cleaner on hand for occasional spills, and attempt to remove them as soon as possible.

• Vinyl: This synthetic, water-resistant flooring option is great for bathrooms, kitchens, basements and laundry rooms. Vinyl floors can be cleaned easily with dust mops, and vacuums on floor settings. Mop your vinyl floors when needed, and avoid using excess water.

• Tile: A durable choice, tile flooring is suitable for any room. Its waterproof qualities make it perfect for bathrooms, laundry rooms and outdoor areas. Keep tile clean with regular mopping using mild floor cleaner. Occasional grout brushing helps prevent stains.

Kitchen Remodels

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so make sure it has the TLC it deserves. If you love cooking and entertaining, a spacious, inviting kitchen is a must. Here are some things to keep in mind when thinking about your design plan:

• Room flow: Do you prefer to entertain while you cook? A kitchen island with ample seating makes more sense than a separated dining area.

• Storage: If you have a lot of cooking tools, design a kitchen where everything has a spot. From hidden coffee bars to a drawer large enough for a stand mixer, there’s a plethora of creative storage options for all of your gadgets. Don’t be afraid to mix it up! Open shelves and glass-front cabinets are a great way to display your favorite crockery.

• Lighting: Whether you use your kitchen just for cooking or for entertaining, ample lighting is important. Add dimmer switches to create ambiance for dinner parties and under-cabinet lighting to make your prep area easier to see.

• Function: Appliances like dishwashers and stove hoods aren’t always the most attractive aspect of a kitchen, but they make the process of cooking and cleaning much easier! Don’t overlook these additions during your remodel.

• Color: From freshly painted cabinets to tile backsplashes, incorporating your favorite colors into your kitchen is a great way to add personality to the space. If you want to keep it natural, consider stone counters and modern wood stains for cabinets.
