Small Room? Make it Appear Bigger
Do you have a small room that you want to feel larger? Painting the walls a lighter color can make the small room feel larger. Same with the floor. If you use a lighter color flooring it can help make the room feel a lot bigger. Do not forget about the trim, using lighter color trim can help make the room appear larger as well. Using wider planks will make a small room look larger. If you are using tile select a 16” or 18” rather than a 12” tile. Using a larger tile means less grout lines, the more grout lines you have the busier the floor will look.

Red Oak vs White Oak
A lot of people think that the only difference between Red Oak and White Oak is the color. Although, the colors are different another large difference is the wood grain. Red oak has a more pronounced grain pattern where the White Oak has a smoother look. Red Oak tends to hide imperfections because of the wood grain better than White Oak. Red Oak has a pinkish undertone. White Oak has a yellowish-brownish undertone making it darker than Red Oak. Both types of Oak can help make your room stand out.

Wire Brushed Hardwood Floors
Wire Brushed Hardwood Floors
A big trend in 2018 is the wired brushed floors. Wire brushed floors are imprinted with a subtle texture that helps the graining of the wood stand out. This wood has some texture, but it is not rough or wavy like hand-scraped wood. Wire brushed wood is not only stylish, but it helps mask imperfections like distressed wood.

Why You Need Underlayment
When putting in hardwood or laminate flooring it is important to use the right underlayment. Floating floors have a reputation of being loud from the foot traffic, but it can be damped with underlayment. Underlayment is a large factor in keeping floors comfortable. It helps keep your floor warm and it acts as a cushion. It will also even out minor imperfections in the subfloor.
