Transforming Your Home with Creative Flooring Patterns and Layouts

When you are looking to upgrade the decor of your home, don’t overlook your floors! It is possible to use flooring to create visual interest by utilizing patterns or a creative layout. Whether you choose carpet, tile or vinyl flooring, there are options that go way beyond basic.

Carpet

Carpet and area rugs are obviously available in a limitless assortment of colors, textures and patterns. As an additional option, consider carpet tiles, which are available to mix and match. You can lay them out however you’d like and add your own individual flair to your space. Consider using them as you would use regular tile, either randomly, or in a specific pattern or configuration. As an added plus, individual carpet tiles can be replaced if they become stained or worn.

Tile

Tile is a very flexible flooring option and the easiest product to use when you want to create an interesting and unique look. You have unlimited choices when it comes to color or layout options. Since it is most frequently found in kitchens or baths, you will want to make sure whatever you have planned agrees with your cabinetry or other fixtures before installation, especially if you are going with color.

If you are creating style using a specific layout, consider something classic, like checkerboard or laying tiles on a diagonal. Depending on the shape of your tiles, you can have them installed in a variety of interesting grid configurations, such as a brick or chevron pattern. Each layout has different visual effects; if you are looking to enhance the appearance of your space, be sure to discuss your options with a tile professional.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl flooring, available in both tile and plank formats, is another option if you are seeking to add visual interest to your decor. They are designed to be flexible and can be installed in alternative layouts, such as herringbone, chevron, or diagonal, as well as other more familiar configurations like subway or stagger. The result is a durable floor with an elevated, stylish look.

Alternatively, you can purchase flooring of the same brand in different finishes, for a random effect. Mix up the different boxes prior to installation and the result is a totally unique floor that will still stand up to whatever life throws at it.
