TRANSFORMING YOUR HOME INTO A COMFORTABLE & FUNCTIONAL SPACE

With approximately 40% of Americans now working remotely and children across the country learning from home, our living spaces—and especially our floors—are experiencing heavier use than ever. If you’re looking to make your home more inviting and practical, hardwood flooring offers numerous advantages:

Your Home's Interior Affects Your Mood

Psychologists continue to support what interior designers have always known: the items in your home, from décor to paint colors, can influence your emotions. Incorporating natural elements, such as hardwood flooring, often creates a calming and soothing atmosphere.

Flooring Can Impact Physical Health, Too

If anyone in your household struggles with asthma or allergies, carpeting may not be the best option. While carpet fibers can hide dust and other irritants, hardwood floors don’t trap these particles—leading to a cleaner, healthier living environment.

Hardwood Floors Are Kid and Pet Friendly

Despite what your mother-in-law might say, hardwood floors can be quite durable under the antics of children and furry friends. The type of wood flooring you choose should suit your lifestyle. Do you host frequent gatherings? Are you planning on expanding your family, or are the kids already out of the nest? Take into account factors such as wood species, finish, and color to determine which hardwood will best withstand your household’s daily life.

For example, lighter-colored floors can help conceal dust and dirt more effectively than darker shades. And while carpet might serve as a reminder of that time Aunt Mary spilled her Cabernet, hardwood floors are less likely to stain as long as spills are cleaned promptly. Although hardwood can get scratched or dented over time, most wood floors can be sanded, smoothed, and refinished to look like new again. You can also use area rugs and runners in high-traffic areas to protect the finish and add a pop of color.

It’s an Environmentally Conscious Choice

Because wood is a naturally renewable resource, hardwood flooring is considered one of the

most sustainable choices available. In fact, for every tree that is harvested, on average two or

more are planted in its place. As a result, the total volume of standing trees has more than

doubled since 1950!
