You can select from among hard wood, ceramic tile, vinyl and laminate floors.

 

Hardwood floors will come as solid hardwood, that is sold as strips or flanks, as well as engineered hardwood, which is available in 3 to 5 layers of laminated hardwood. Engineered hard wood has much more balance as well as humidity resistance. The two are stain resistant and may not soak up spills given that they should be properly set up and sealed. Hardwood floors just require mopping and vacuum-cleaning for maintenance.

 

Ceramic tile flooring is available in natural stone, ceramic, glass and metal.
 

Typically the most popular natural stone tiles are produced out of limestone, marbled, slate or granite. Limestone tiles are definitely the softest and they are, therefore, recommended for decorative use only. Marble tiles can also be not very hardy and they are suggested just for areas with minimal human traffic. Slate tiles tend to be more durable and they are slip resistant. They are usually utilized in wet places such as swimming pool sides and patios. Granite tiles are definitely the strongest and also the densest and may be applied in areas of excessive human traffic.

Very Cool Modern Rugs from Mats-The Basics

We found a  really great rug line that we just have to share with you. Despite the clunky name, they make wonderful modern rugs that are stylish yet clean-lined and simple. That's so hard to find, don't you think so?   Many contemporary rugs are a bit too austere, too severe perhaps.

Here are some of our favorites:

The rugs runs between $500 for a 5x7 to $1500 for a 8 x 12.  They are very well-made too.  Most are made with 100% New Zealand wool, hand-tufted.

We'll be loading these up on our rugs section next week, so please check back soon.

Martha Stewart Rugs for Safavieh

We're a bit obsessed with rugs lately. It's probably because we're working on launching our new rug site and that's all we been seeing for the last two weeks.

Have you seen the Martha Stewart rug collection for Safavieh? It's not a new collection--in fact, it's been around for a while. We're seeing some new patterns that we really like though. Check them out:

What do you think? They are so Martha Stewart-ist, aren't they? One thing you can say about Martha, she's consistent in her style/taste.

These rugs are not too expensive. They run about $250 for a 4x6 to $1500 for a 9x13.

Candice Olson Rugs for Surya

We love Candice Olson's TV show on HGTV. Her style is fresh and modern yet approachable. It's not like Kelly Wearstler's where things look amazing but then you think to yourself-- who has that kind of money and that kind of life?

Anyway, Candice Olson just did a collection of rugs for Surya and it very much reflects her aesthetics. They are not too expensive (about $1000 for a 8 x 10 or so, less, obviously,for smaller sizes...).

Here are some really pretty ones:






You can see the entire collection in our modern rug section or Surya's web site.

New Rugs from Safavieh

We're always amazed at how the right accessories can just transform a room. It's like taking a plain girl and putting the right makeup, hairdo and fantastic shoes on her. It makes a huge, huge difference.

When we pick out home accessories, we usually look for rugs first. It's because most rugs are instant focal points. There are so much to choose from, and because they are not too expensive (if you pick out the right one)-- you can interchange them easily.

Here are some from Safavieh Rugs that we like. They are fun, bright, well-made, and gently-priced (an 8 x 10 is less than $1000).
