Tips on Choosing the Right Flooring for your Home!

New flooring is one way to make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your home and typically, this investment will increase the value of your home or at least, make it more appealing to the eye.   If you are selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home, this upgrade will almost always play in your favor by making your home more desirable to the potential buyer.

Once you've decided to invest in new flooring, you'll need to determine which flooring is right for your home.  Your budget and personal preferences play an important role as you choose between options like laminate wood, hardwood, engineered wood, carpet, tile or vinyl. 

Here are some questions you might want to consider to help you make your final selection:
  • Do you or your family suffer with allergies that might be made worse by carpeting?
  • Will it bother you to step on cold tile in the morning?
  • Do you prefer sweeping hard flooring or vacuuming carpet?
  • Will the sound of clapping shoes on hard flooring bother you?
  • Do you like to lie on the floor and watch a movie?
  • Do you plan on selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home in the next few years?
  • Do you have areas of your home that will have heavy foot traffic leaving carpet stains?
  • If you entertain often, will your flooring be well suited guests and accidental spills? 

 

Here are some tips for picking the right flooring in the each area.
  • Choose rugged flooring for high traffic areas.
  • If you plan to use carpeting in your home, select a speckled carpet that will hide dirt.
  • Choose tile for bathrooms - it offers easy cleanup and is durable.
  • If you have young children, consider hard flooring for easy clean up.
  • Mudrooms areas will have easier cleanup if you use hard flooring vs carpet
For most people, flooring is a major decision that you will enjoy for years to come.  We hope the information above will help you decide which flooring option is right for you.
