When you are building a home or remodeling a space, choosing the best flooring is important to create the most functional home. Flooring can keep your home dry, comfortable, and appealing. Homeowners may not know how to choose the best flooring or which material is best for their needs. RW Custom Homes can help you make the best choice for your home and your budget. There are multiple options for high-end flooring but which one is best for your home? 

Choosing The Right Floor For Your Needs

Before you choose a flooring option you will need to think about what flooring will be the most functional. If you have children and pets choosing scratch-resistant flooring would be in your best interest. For climates that experience snow and moisture, artificial wood or vinyl flooring would be best to avoid warping in natural wood. Considering how much traffic the floor will see is another factor you should consider. 

There are multiple factors when it comes to choosing flooring that works best for your needs but the only choice that is best for your home is the one that protects those who live there. 

Are You Installing The Flooring By Yourself?

Some options for flooring are difficult to install and require expert skills to do it correctly. If you plan to remodel your home or install new flooring yourself, there are installer friendly flooring options. Choosing high-end flooring usually means that you will not be able to install it yourself. Even if you choose more budget-friendly flooring, it will be more high quality if it is installed by a professional. 

If money is not an issue, there are many options that can approve the appeal and value of your home. Some of the best options are listed below. 

Natural Stone

When you think of decadent flooring, you may think of natural stone. Using natural stone requires quarrying for the best rocks. This can get really expensive and will take deep digging for the rarest of rocks. 

Natural stone is the most man-hour-intensive flooring and becomes a really big money eater by the time it travels to your door. Some common stone options include marble, granite, limestone, slate, flagstone, and sandstone. Options like granite are best for high-traffic areas, whereas limestone is more versatile to use in different areas and comes in multiple color variations. 

Hardwood

There are many variations of hardwood flooring, hand scraped hardwood, reclaimed hardwood, and exotic hardwood. These hardwood options are better than machine manufactured hardwood because they can be cheap and bad quality. Choosing hardwood also has a range of colors and prices per square foot. Some solid oak hardwood can be around $10 per square foot. Reclaimed wood can go for $4 to $7 per square foot. 

Exotic Hardwood

Exotic hardwood can come from South America and Africa which means the price to transport it to you can become intense. Installation costs can add to the price but will guarantee that your flooring will withstand all that is thrown at it. 

When you are choosing exotic hardwood, make sure that it comes from a respectable source. If the price seems too good to be true and does not come from a legit supplier you could be getting a lower quality wood. 

Luxury Vinyl 

Many homeowners choose vinyl because it is known to be more slip resistant and quieter. Choosing high-end flooring vinyl has options that look more realistic like wood and others can feel more like a luxury hotel. This option is great for homeowners that want a high style but one that is easy to maintain. Vinyl comes in different color options and is very long-lasting while being luxurious. 

Ceramic Tile 

Ceramic tile is a more fun option for those who want to have decorative mosaic flooring. Tile is also easy to maintain while being glamorous. This high-end flooring is often not placed throughout the home but is reserved for specific areas like your bathroom or kitchen.

Make Your Home Feel Expensive

1- Switch To High-End Flooring

This option may be more expensive than the rest, but updating some of the floorings in your home can make luxury areas. Bathrooms or kitchens are smaller areas that could save you money by installing new flooring in just one location. 

2- Add New Hardware

Updating the hardware on your cupboards, drawers, and doors can help make your home feel expensive. Gold hardware or ones with intricate carvings can easily make the home look more expensive. Coordinate or contrast hardware to add a more unique look. 

Hardware may look expensive, but it is an easy way to stay on budget while making your space look more modern. Many hardware options are relatively inexpensive and may have discounts for buying in bulk. 

3- Maximize Natural Light

Maximizing natural light in your home can make it feel larger, which is a common aspect of expensive homes. Ditch the curtains and let light in the windows, hang a mirror, or include more glass that can reflect light throughout the space. 

4- Keep Things Tidy

One of the easiest ways to make your house look put together is to keep clutter to a minimum. Cleaning and picking up random things around your home makes it feel more expensive. Keeping your home clean, not only makes it look more professional, it can help you feel more at ease in your space. A clean home also helps protect you from illness or constantly tripping over objects. 

5- Add Big Art

Creating a gallery wall or adding large artwork is another way to make your home feel expensive. Large art pieces may be expensive, but with some bargain hunting, you can find art retro art pieces to fill your home that won’t break the bank. Large art creates the illusion that it cost more than it actually did. 

Choosing one statement piece can also make your space feel more professional and save you from buying multiple pieces. Checking at flea markets can help you find an art piece as well as a fancy frame to highlight the art. 

6- Use Scent To Your Advantage

Using diffusers, candles, or potpourri can help people feel certain emotions while in your home. Smells can make people feel cozier and at home when they visit your home. Cleaning and tidying can also help your home smell better and help you pick the exact scent that visitors smell when they come to your home.

Using scents that line up with the seasons or light earthy scents is the best option. Don’t combine too many smells or you risk giving everyone headaches. 

7- Neutrals And Gold Accents

Creating a cohesive interior design can be accomplished by using neutrals as your base. Neutrals can make your home seem more professional and clean. Because neutrals show dirt and grime easily when they are maintained and truly clean they can improve the atmosphere of your home. 

Accenting with gold can give an element of luxury because gold is often associated with wealth. Gold accents can be used in hardware, frames, tables, pillows, pots, and other decorative items. If you do not have the budget to buy more decor, you can spray paint items easily to add some glamour.
