How to get your home ready for flooring
• | Draw a rough outline of the rooms you want to install flooring in and how these rooms flow together. Be sure to include closets, fixed cabinet features, fireplaces, and doorways. |
• | Have you considered the flooring in your halls? Stairways? How does your home flow? |
• | Have an idea of approximately how much flooring you’ll require for each room, hallway, staircase, etc. Take a measuring tape and get a rough idea. Flooring is typically sold by the square foot or by the square yard. |
• | Have a checklist of the approximate dimensions. |
• | Consider the light that enters the room. Is it natural light (sunlight) or does it require artificial light? This can make a difference in the floor you’ll want to select. |
• | What is under your existing flooring? This is important information to know when you select your new floor. Try to find this out before you begin shopping for your new floor covering. |
Evaluate Your Flooring Needs
Now it’s time to decide what type of flooring fits your lifestyle. Your requirements are unique and solely based on your personal situation. Some things to consider are:
• | What is the room(s) used for? |
• | Do you have children or pets? |
• | Is there excessive traffic or very little? |
• | Is there an abundance of sunlight entering the room? |
• | Do you need to change out the existing baseboard and moldings? |
• | What is the timeline for choosing your floor and getting it installed? |
• | Is your climate especially moist or humid? Flooring can be affected by these variables. |
• | Will the room where your new flooring is installed require painting? If so, try to paint before the flooring is installed. |
It’s Time to go to a Floors To Go Showroom
Now that you have determined some of the essential aspects of choosing the right floor, the fun begins! Here are some ideas you’ll want to consider when you’re ready to select your new floor from a Floors To Go showroom.
• | Bring samples of drapery fabrics, wallpaper, and paint swatches. |
• | What furniture will be in the room? |
• | Bring fabric swatches of your furniture. |
• | What style of room are you trying to achieve? |
• | What are your favorite colors? |
• | For children’s rooms, are themes involved? Many floors are designed with children in mind. Kid’s rooms can have their own flair. Get them involved. |
