Tips for Choosing the Best Flooring for Your Home

Selecting the perfect flooring for your luxury remodel involves considering various factors to ensure it complements your lifestyle and design vision. Here are some tips for how to make the right choice:

Consider Your Lifestyle

Your flooring should match your lifestyle. Larger families with pets should choose durable, easy-to-clean options while quieter households may lean more toward delicate materials.

Square Footage & Budget

The size of the area you’re remodeling and your budget will influence your flooring choices. Larger spaces might benefit from more cost-effective materials while smaller areas may afford you the luxury of splurging on higher-end options.

Matching Different Features

Creating a harmonious look requires pairing your flooring with existing wall paint colors and kitchen cabinet finishes.

When selecting new flooring, pull color samples from your walls, cabinets, and countertops to find complementary hues and tones. Rich hardwood floors pair beautifully with warm wall colors like terra cotta or sage green.

For a more modern aesthetic, consider large-format tile or luxury vinyl planks in shades of gray to complement cooler color schemes. Subtle patterned floors can also add visual interest while maintaining flow between rooms.

Durability & Maintenance Requirements

Durability and maintenance are key considerations to keep in mind. Some materials require regular upkeep to maintain their appearance while others are more resilient to everyday wear and tear.

Luxurious Flooring Materials for the Home

When it comes to luxury flooring materials, several options stand out for their quality, appearance, and durability, including:

Hardwoods: Oak, maple, and walnut flooring are classic choices that offer timeless elegance and durability.
Bamboo: An eco-friendly, durable option, bamboo offers a unique, modern look that’s as sustainable as it is stylish.
Laminate: Able to mimic the look of hardwood or stone, laminate flooring is a practical choice for those seeking affordable luxury.
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP): Waterproof, easy to install, and available in a wide range of styles, LVP is perfect for high-traffic areas and those on a budget.

Bathroom Flooring: Tile Options

Bathrooms require moisture-resistant flooring materials while offering a stylish look. Tile is popular for luxury bathroom remodels due to its versatility and durability. Ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles are all popular options for creating a spa-like retreat.

Tiles come in various shapes, including rectangular, square, and hexagonal, allowing for creative and unique designs. Patterns like herringbone, chevron, and subway can add visual interest and sophistication to your bathroom floor.

Choosing the right colors and finishes for your tiles can enhance the overall look of your space. Glossy finishes reflect light and make spaces feel larger, while matte finishes provide a modern, understated look.

Out-of-the-Box Flooring Ideas

For those looking to make a bold statement, consider unconventional flooring materials and placements. For instance, brick flooring in the kitchen or pantry can add a touch of rustic charm, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

By contrast, stone flooring in living areas brings a sense of natural elegance to your space, combining durability with timeless appeal. Adding tile flooring in non-bathroom areas is another great way to add a sophisticated touch to entryways, sunrooms, and other spaces.
