The Most Overlooked Area of A Room

There are 3 basic focal areas upon entering a room
  1. the ceiling
  2. the walls
  3. the floor
 
Often times homeowners address the ceilings with beautiful light fixtures and wood trims, and the walls with paint finishes and artwork, but what's often overlooked in a home are the floors.
 
The floors, in a home, are blank canvases that allows the homeowner an opportunity to showcase their creativity. There are three different elements to consider when making your selections:
                Core -  examples:  Hardwood, Carpet or Tile
 
        Wearability - examples: Laminate or Natural wood
                                           Shag or Berber
                                           Ceramic or Natural Stone Tile   
  
                Finish - examples:  Matte or High Gloss
 
Once your selection is made, the final step is accessorizing your floor; this is where your creativity comes into play.  Floor accessories come in the form of area rugs, flooring medallions and the combination of different flooring materials, patterns and the directional placement on the core floor.     
 
Floor accessories add personality to your room; when they are left out of the decor it makes the room look unfinished, like a canvas with a solid background color and no picture. So, don't underestimate the effects of flooring accessories in your home's decor.
 
*Note: The above examples are just a few of the many different materials available to choose from for each element. Making the right selection is subjective, based on your individual needs. If you find it difficult to make a selection, consider calling a professional decorator to help with your decision.
