Japandi brings together Japanese simplicity and Scandinavian coziness. Here's how to create the look without your home feeling cold.
Read the story →Flooring sets the tone for your whole home, but there's no single right answer. The best choice depends on how each room is used, how much moisture it sees and the look you want.
Living rooms and bedrooms
Hardwood and engineered wood bring warmth and character. In bedrooms, soft carpet or a large rug over wood adds comfort underfoot.
Kitchens
Kitchens need durability and easy cleaning. Luxury vinyl plank, porcelain tile and sealed engineered wood all handle spills and busy traffic well.
The best floor is the one that suits both the room and the life lived in it.
Bathrooms and laundry rooms
Choose water-resistant options like porcelain tile, natural stone or waterproof vinyl. Textured finishes help reduce slipping.
Entryways and mudrooms
Tile, stone and luxury vinyl stand up to mud, rain and heavy wear. Darker tones and patterns help hide everyday dirt.
Create flow between rooms
Using the same or complementary flooring through connected spaces makes your home feel larger and more cohesive.
