What covers the floor of a home makes a big difference in how the home is perceived. Luxurious carpets bespeak elegance, while wide oak planks make one think of the country. Between these two extremes lay many other floor coverings that offer their own unique statement.

• Tile is clean without looking boring or sterile. It can also lend a very modern look to a home.
• Wood floors can take on a variety of personalities depending on the type of wood, color and finish. Floors covered with fine woods can be gorgeous works of art.
• Carpets are cozy and comfortable. They warm up a home, both actually and mentally. They are ideal for those who have little time to spend on housework, as they require no mopping.
• Alternative coverings such as bamboo and cork, or other engineered woods make their own special mark on a home.

Carpet: Majority rules that carpet is not the way to go if you are an allergy sufferer. If you insist on having carpet in your home, make sure it is low allergen. Carpet tends to be more affordable than other flooring but it can affect your allergies.

Tile: Tile floors are popular because they are durable and low maintenance. But it can be a jolt in the morning to step onto a cold tile floor. Use rugs by your bed, in your bathroom, the kitchen and anywhere else you want to put some warmth between your feet and the floor – at least rugs can be washed if they build-up with dust.

Hardwood: Hardwood is another type of low-allergen flooring but it tends to be more expensive than carpet and tile. If you have the home remodeling budget to afford it, go for it. If not, carpet and tile are more affordable.
