MAY BLOG: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Flooring for Your Home

Spring is in full swing, and for many homeowners, May marks the perfect time to dive into home improvement projects. Whether you're remodeling a single room or refreshing your entire space, flooring is one of the most important decisions you’ll make—both for style and function.

Here’s your ultimate flooring guide to help you choose the right material for your home this season.

1. Know Your Lifestyle Needs

Before diving into materials and aesthetics, consider your lifestyle:

• Kids or pets? You’ll want durable, scratch-resistant options.

• High-traffic areas? Think water-resistant and easy to clean.

• Looking for comfort? Softer materials like carpet or cork may suit your needs.

2. Explore the Most Popular Flooring Types

3. Match Flooring to Your Home’s Style

Your floors should complement your home’s overall look:

• Rustic: Hand-scraped hardwood or distressed laminate

• Coastal: Light oak or whitewashed wood tones

• Traditional: Warm-toned hardwood or classic tile

4. Don’t Forget About Installation & Maintenance

• DIY or pro? Some materials like peel-and-stick vinyl are DIY-friendly, while hardwood often requires professional installation.

• Maintenance needs vary widely—tile is low-fuss, while wood may need refinishing over time.

• Budget wisely: Don’t forget to factor in underlayment, trim, and labor costs.
