Consumer trends are quickly swaying towards textures within the home.  Whether it's textures within furniture, wall coverings or floors, we want to be able to not only see the effects, but feel and touch the surfaces.  Design has taken a very tactile approach so it's not hard to want to "feel" your surroundings.  Carpet textures have come a long way and are certainly making a trend back into the spotlight.  Traditional textures centered on a classical, traditional feel.  Today, the statement focuses on a more contemporary, linear feel and design, as well as a new "traditional" approach.  What was old, has become new... with a "twist!"  As for hardwood, we want a realistic, natural quality and appearance to define our space.  If hardwood is perfect for your lifestyle, a hand-scraped hardwood floor offers the perfect balance of both for a natural environment.  Tile, laminate and vinyl have also taken to the "tactile" road to offer a vast array of textured designs for your distinctive taste.

Of course, it's best to consider your design sense, lifestyle and budget, as well as the lighting in your home when making your flooring choices.  For advice and assistance to help you decide what works best for you, visit our showroom and meet with the owners.  Their experience within the industry will help guide you so your flooring experience is an easy, painless process.
