Flooring Design Ideas - Tips & Tricks

	Can You Tell? The easiest way to tell the difference between a solid hardwood and a laminate floor is to look for variations in the wood pattern. You'll see the same pattern repeated in a laminate floor. A hardwood floor will have unique characteristics.
	Think Long Term Try not to be impulsive about your selection of floor covering. Sometimes it's better to forgo a trendy pattern or color and go with a neutral color and classic weave. This will allow you to redecorate.
	Knock on Wood With today's protective finishes, hardwood floors can be used in the kitchen! It's not tiring under foot; it won't shatter everything that drops on it; and it's good sound insulation.
