If your room has a lot of traffic, think practical!

Think about how your new floor will be used. If you have children and pets who will be spending a lot of time in the room, you want flooring that's durable. Look for flooring that will hold up well over time.You'll have a lot of options, choose a carpet that has one of the excellent stain-resistant fibres, such as the Stainmaster®.

You can make your room look larger or smaller.

If you want your room to appear larger, choose matching neutral colours for both the flooring and walls—this minimizes dividing lines and makes the whole space appear larger.If you have small bedrooms, you can run the same neutral carpet throughout all the bedrooms and the hallways to give the whole area a more spacious look.

On the other hand, dark colours and patterns will make a room appear cosier. You can choose from a wide variety of patterns in carpets and rugs, such as pin dot, floral, swirl and geometric patterns.

Use texture to add interest to your room.

You can make your room more interesting by the types of textures you choose for your flooring.

For example, carpets come in a wide range of textures from sculptured to smooth, shaggy to nubby surfaces. Designer rugs with their interwoven patterns can provide an interesting contrast when placed over a smooth floored surface—such as a laminate floor.

Hardwood floors provide interesting grainy textures in the natural wood used. Vinyl flooring is available now in many interesting patterns—patterns designed to look like textured stone, brick, or marble. You can mix and match textures to achieve the look you like!

If you're planning to sell your home soon, make wise choices.

If you're planning to move within the next year or two, keep your flooring choices simple and practical.Choose neutral carpet colours, but not too light. White carpet can be intimidating to home buyers with children or pets, because they think they won't be able to keep it clean.

Hardwood floors can be beautiful and they show well. Use rugs to add comfort and warmth to the room when showing your home. Hold off on installing that wild new colour of carpet or trying out the ultra-trendy designs of your dreams—even if it looks great in your home, the average home buyer may have difficulty imagining their furniture working with such a unique style.

You're better off going with safe, neutral tones that will appeal to the broadest audience.
