We here at Towne Interiors would like to help you identify the main considerations a customer should think about when choosing flooring for a specific room in your home.

Define Your Space Defining the space is a first step in decorating you home. The size of the space you’re decorating is a very important variable to the decision on how to decorate. Darker colors in flooring can close in a room. Lighter colors can enlarge a room. Larger rooms are usually less labor intensive, while smaller rooms are generally more labor intensive. How the room is used is also an important question to ask when deciding on your flooring. High traffic areas require more heavy duty flooring. Areas near entrance doors should hold up to water and dirt. Consider how loud or quiet the room is and how a floor can change the acoustics of your space. Is water or moisture an issue? Areas prone to moisture may make you consider eliminating padding if carpeting was your flooring choice. Ceramic tile would be the most waterproof product if moisture is present. Transitioning to adjoining rooms is very important to having a nice flow in your house. Make sure flooring styles and colors compliment each other and produce a nice flow throughout the home.

Understand Your Style Understanding your style will help you to identify the right decorating product for you and your home. Watching the home decorating shows on TV can really expose the many styles (or lack of) available to you today. You may be a more traditional type person but you may like a formal atmosphere in part of your home. How about a more casual atmosphere for that family room? Or perhaps the contemporary theatre style entertainment area? Does that strike a note? You may prefer the sleek European clean look to the woodsy Rustic or North woods feeling. Our experienced staff here at Towne Interiors will be sure to fit your style from the large selection of decorating products available at our store.
