What kind of home do you have? Will its look be enhanced by hardwood? For instance, what if you have a home built in 1949 and it still has original doors and light fixtures from the 1940s? Hardwood would make this place come alive. Linoleum, carpet or something else would kill the atmosphere.
Want hardwood throughout your home? You can definitely do that, but before you do, walk through your home and try to see the rooms with fresh eyes. Are there lots of windows? Do you want contrasting colors in the rooms? Do you already have certain accent pieces of furniture and wall hangings that may dictate what color of floor you could have installed? Ultimately, you choose what feels right to you, but you might want to talk to a Tampa flooring installation expert to see what they recommend.
In the end, choosing hardwood flooring is not always about how it looks, but more about how durable it is and how long it will last and still look good. Select the type of Tampa flooring that will address your needs and once it is installed, enjoy the look.
