Too bOld?

What is your preference when it comes to floor design?

Do you like a floor that grabs your attention when entering a room before the decorations and furnishings?

Or is your preference a floor that is just there and is maybe the 5th or 6th feature you notice in a room?


I'd like your answer, not your wife's.

I have seen some floors that are real attention getters but they have been in homes with decor to match. Personally I like a good quality floor in more of a neutral color. Add color with furnishings and other decor. Easier to change them than to change your floor.

As long as it doesn't darken a room, nor make it feel unwelcoming...those are the only two things on my mind

For home I like neutral. A rec room or special rooms can be more daring.

Truthfully, I don't give a rats a**.
We don't entertain, I don't have friends or family over, so it doesn't matter that much to me.

My wife might say different but you asked for mine.

I kind of like that leopard print carpeting.

Yeah but if you throw your underwear on the floor, you'll never find it again.

yeah, but who knows besides us and designers/flooring retailers...


I still see people browsing the Pergo rack at Home Depot..

The two need to compliment each other IMO.
Otherwise it just looks bad with new to old together

 

[hogjowl]

The floors shouldn’t be the focal point

Just do what your wife says.

Unless she wants white carpet. Then spritz her with cold water and say “NO! NO!”
