If You Have Recently Installed New Flooring, Consider Additional Upgrades to Improve Your Room

New flooring is one of the most expensive, but beneficial, upgrades a homeowner can make. You can install new carpet, mosaic tiles, or hardwood, bamboo, or cork flooring. Each of these adds excitement to a room and makes things feel new again. There is no better way to freshen up a room than to rip out the tired, stained old carpet and put in new. Even better, you can take out the carpet and lay hardwood floors that look rich and are very durable.

Taking out peel and stick options from a kitchen or bathroom and adding porcelain tiles will create a warm, clean feeling.

Some flooring options are even heated, so the bathroom floor will feel comfortable after a long, hot shower. The best part about flooring is, it can just be the beginning. A complete room redo may be in the cards for you and your family. Start with flooring and build your way all the way up until you have a brand new room.

If you are thinking about a total room upgrade, consider painting before the new flooring is installed. Depending on the size of the room, you may be able to paint it all in one day.

If you are ripping up the old flooring, it will not matter if paint splashes or drips on it. You can cover or move furniture, but you do not need to bother doing anything to the floors. This will save you a lot of time, and possibly some paint accidents. If you are choosing a paint color before the flooring is installed, be sure to bring samples of both into the room so you can view them together, in the natural light of the room.

Once the painting and flooring are done, you can consider adding new furniture.

Consider what needs to be upgraded. Is fabric wearing thin? Are metal pieces sticking out of reclining sofas and sticking you in the backside? Has the furniture simply worn out its welcome and you are ready for a change? All of these are great reasons for a furniture shopping trip. If all new furniture is not in the budget because of all the other upgrades, consider just replacing one or two large pieces. This can have a big impact for a much lower price.

Finally, it is time to accessorize. This may be the most fun and most important part of the redesign.

The accessories can set the tone for the entire room. Even the best changes in flooring, paint, and furniture can go wrong if accessories are a miss. Take into account your personal style when choosing accent pieces for a room. Pick items that your whole family will love and that will make everyone feel at home. Your space should be a unique reflection of your tastes and your family history. When building a room, take time to choose the right accessories so you will have a complete, attractive look, with a warm, family fee.

Your whole family will love the change.
