How to Find a Flooring Match
Looking for your perfect flooring match? Whether you’re replacing your existing flooring or starting from scratch, finding the right flooring to suit your home can be a challenge.
Here at Garrison, we make it easy to find your flooring match with our wide selection of hardwood, vinyl, and laminate flooring, as well as our fantastic Room Visualizer Tool. If you’re stuck between a few different flooring types, a great first step to take is to order samples of each.
Steps to Finding a Flooring Match
It can be hard to know just by looking online which type of flooring will work best for your home, so by ordering samples, you can get a feel for the products and see what they look like up close and personal. We offer samples for all of our floors, so you can easily choose the one that is the perfect match for you and your home.
For a more detailed view of how your flooring will look, you can use our Room Visualizer Tool. Just snap a photo of your existing room and upload it to the visualizer, then pick one of our floors to see how it looks in your space! It couldn’t be easier to see what your flooring will look like before you buy it!
We also offer state-of-the-art lighting systems in our showrooms. This new lighting experience will allow customers to adjust the temperature of the light for you to know how your flooring will look during different times of the day – sunrise, sunset, or even a cloudy day!
It’s also a good idea to bring the samples you’ve ordered into the room where you plan to install the flooring before making a final decision. Look at them in natural, artificial, and direct lighting to get a real sense of how they’ll look in your home. You can read more about how lighting affects a floor’s color here
Take into account the amount of natural light that comes into the room as well as the existing colors and textures of the furniture and walls. After seeing the samples in your space, it will be easier to find out which one matches your home’s style and will work best for the needs of your household.
Other Things to Consider
When you’re selecting your flooring, keep your lifestyle in mind as well. Do you have pets or children? If so, you may want to choose a floor that is more scratch-resistant and easy to clean which you can read more about here. Thinking in advance about the type of wear and tear your floor is likely to take will ensure you pick something durable and long-lasting.
Consider your home’s overall design style too — if you’ve got a modern, minimalist décor, pick something sleek and contemporary, or if you’re aiming for a rustic feel, opt for a distressed, wider plank hardwood. Finding your perfect flooring match doesn’t have to be difficult.
With Garrison, you can easily compare samples and find the flooring that is the perfect match for your home and lifestyle. Don’t forget to use our Room Visualizer to get the best possible view of how your flooring will look, and start enjoy your new floor in no time!
