This month: Find out why carpet is simply not a long-term solution, learn what to look out for when installing vintage-inspired flooring, and take a closer look at chevron flooring in all its zig-zagging beauty…
Call us biased, but carpet is one flooring solution that simply doesn’t hold up to the wear and tear of daily use – at least not over the long term. As a short-to-medium-term solution, there’s no denying that carpet has perks. Easy to maintain and great for keeping homes cosy, this is a great flooring choice for many homeowners. But, for those looking for flooring that will last decades, carpet can start looking crummy in as little as five years.
This blog from Carolina Flooring Services illustrates the point, explaining the kind of longevity you can expect from a quality carpet while offering some pointers for upkeep if you don’t want to go down the more durable real wood route.
Style Inspiration: Retro Look Wood FlooringAre you a big fan of all things vintage? If you’d like to deck out your home in flooring, which harks back to a simpler, more charming time, this blog from Wood N Beyond is a great read. From ensuring you don’t mix eras, finding the perfect finishing touches, to choosing a “vintage look” floor that feels authentic but will stand the test of time, this post is certainly a good place to start when you’re looking into installing retro wood flooring.
