Brushed Tan Oak Hardwood
For Hector Cabrera, Frontier Luxury Flooring’s founder and self-described flooring matchmaker, the secret behind selecting the best flooring for any space is an honest and comprehensive grasp of lifestyle needs and preferred aesthetic—from homeowner to potential buyer.
Herewith, a sample of Hector’s top considerations when selecting new flooring:
Design Style
Whether aiming for a contemporary-classic look or a rugged, west coast-inspired aesthetic, developing a keen understanding of your personal design style helps define specific elements to seek in a flooring product.
Environmental Footprint
Looking to your environmental preferences for flooring inspiration can easily narrow down your search in a sea of flooring options, from sustainably produced premium hardwood to locally sourced luxury vinyl.
Lighting
The presence and amount of natural and artificial light in a space can affect the appearance of flooring post-installation. Opt for light-toned floors in dim-lit spaces, saving darker stains for rooms with plenty of natural light to balance the floor’s strong patina.
Maintenance
Blessed with children and pets and looking for a floor that’s durable yet low maintenance, or perhaps one with an unlimited warranty? These are just some questions to ask when mulling over the multitude of options.
