| Selecting
a flooring will depend largely on the room that you are
flooring. Wood finish and plank size will be
determined by the room's size. Choose lighter
colors and a narrow width board to visually expand
smaller rooms. To make larger rooms more warm and
appealing, choose darker wood tones and a wider board.
|
Once
your selection has been narrowed based upon the room,
you should then make decisions based upon coordinating
or contrasting with the existing color and wood schemes
(or new schemes when redecorating) in the room. The wood
finish you select should complement but not dominate the
room. The style of the flooring and its planking
should also be consistent with your decorating styles
(i.e. contemporary, country, formal or casual).
|
The
quality of the flooring you select should meet or exceed
your expected traffic flow for the room. You may
also consider having the floor's pattern match the
natural traffic flow of the room. Finally, the
amount of natural light a room gets as well as the type
of processed light in a room will effect the floor's
appearance. It is important to view your flooring
selection in relatively the same lighting that your room
produces. |
