You’ve been working hard, and your dream is finally coming true: your family is moving into a new home! It’s a big accomplishment to buy your first home. This transition offers new beginnings and an opportunity to create the perfect living space to share with your loved ones.
As you are planning the last few details for construction, there are many decisions that need to be made about the finishes of the property: paint colors, cabinets, flooring, and more. Not only is it important to consider the colors and appearance, but also prioritize materials that will withstand the test of time.
Here are a few tips for choosing flooring to ensure that you are happy with the results when you move in:
1. Match the Aesthetics
Colors and aesthetics play a big role in the overall look and feel of your home. Make sure you create a comfortable and relaxing space where you want to spend time at the end of a busy day. Consider other design features and colors in your home, then choose flooring to match. The goal is to design a space where everything flows together seamlessly.
2. Consider the Climate
Location is an important factor to consider when choosing flooring for your home. Here in Temecula, we have relatively warmer weather throughout the year. So, hard flooring is a great fit. On the other hand, if you are picking flooring for a vacation cabin in the mountains, you might not prefer tile or other types of hard flooring because it’s too cold in the winter months.
3. Lifestyle Considerations
Consider the foot traffic and other activities that will be moving through your home. If you have kids and pets, then a high-maintenance floor (such as hardwood) might not be the best idea. Instead, laminate flooring can create a similar appearance without the hassle of refinishing the floor in the future. Make sure to pick durable materials that are built to last.
