Every room in your home tells a story, and the floor serves as its foundation. It shapes how the space feels, functions, and endures. Making the right choice is about finding a balance between style and the unique needs of every home.
"Flooring has a huge impact on the look and feel of your home," explains Renee Gray, owner of Footprints Floors Suncoast. From the elegance of hardwood to the resilience of luxury vinyl planks (LVP), the right choice can redefine a space entirely.
One of today's most popular options is LVP, valued for its durability, affordability, and waterproof properties—especially well-suited for Florida homes. "Luxury vinyl is a game changer," Gray says. Laminate flooring is also popular for homeowners seeking versatility.
Tile remains a reliable choice for moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. However, it's not always the best fit for every household. "Tile is timeless, but it can be challenging for seniors," Gray notes. It's essential to select materials that accommodate each homeowner's unique needs.
Hardwood and hybrid materials like Raintree offer beauty and durability, considering long-term value. "Raintree combines the elegance of hardwood with the resilience of luxury vinyl, making it ideal for Florida homes," Gray explains.
Choosing the right flooring can feel overwhelming. Homeowners should take the time to find the perfect fit. "Bring samples home, see how they look in your space," Gray adds. Consistent flooring throughout a home can create the illusion of larger spaces, while softer, waterproof options may be better suited for families.
Ultimately, floors are an essential part of making a house a home. The right choice isn't just about style—it's about creating a space that fits your life.
