Should I Use One Type of Flooring?
The short answer to this question is, it depends. Choosing to use one type of flooring, one that works throughout your entire space, is ideal. Good choices for use throughout most open concept homes include hardwood flooring, luxury vinyl, or laminate. Consider using area rugs to define areas and add warmth. One benefit of choosing a singular type of flooring is that the entire area flows and feels cohesive. Another benefit is you don’t have to contend with transitions, except if you choose to use something different, such as tile, in a bathroom. Since each home and décor is unique, you have to be happy with your choices.
It’s hard to argue with the coziness created by carpet. It can really warm up a space, but it also requires extra care, especially if you have kids, pets or allergies. If your plan includes carpet, make sure to carefully consider what flooring you will use in the kitchen and where you will transition.
