Hardwood, Luxury Vinyl or Carpet?

See How One Room Changes Completely

Three designers. One room. Three completely different homes.

When planning a home renovation, most people think about paint colors, furniture, or lighting first.

But professional designers know the biggest transformation happens before any of that.

It starts with the floor.

Flooring isn't just something you walk on. It sets the tone for every room, influences every design decision, and can completely change how your home looks and feels.

To prove it, we challenged ourselves to redesign the exact same room three different ways.

Same walls.

Same windows.

Same fireplace.

Same layout.

Only one major change...

The flooring.

The results might surprise you.

Design One

California Chic with Wide Plank Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Bright. Relaxed. Effortless.

This space feels like it belongs on the California coast.

Wide plank Luxury Vinyl Plank in a soft white oak creates an open, airy foundation, while natural textures, linen fabrics, woven accents, and subtle pops of color bring warmth and personality to the room.

The result is casual sophistication—a home that's beautiful enough to impress guests but durable enough for everyday life.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring has become one of the fastest-growing flooring categories for homeowners who want the warmth of hardwood with exceptional durability. It's an ideal choice for busy families, active households, and anyone looking for low-maintenance flooring that doesn't compromise on style.

Design Two

Classic Elegance with Rich Hardwood Flooring

Timeless never goes out of style.

Dark hardwood floors immediately add warmth, richness, and character.

Leather seating, traditional rugs, layered lighting, and classic furnishings create a space that feels refined without being formal.

Hardwood flooring remains one of the most sought-after choices for homeowners because of its natural beauty, longevity, and ability to add lasting value to a home. Whether your style leans traditional or transitional, hardwood provides a foundation that never goes out of fashion.

Design Three

Modern Luxe with Textured Carpet

Warm. Sophisticated. Inviting.

Who says every living room needs hard surface flooring?

This designer chose a premium textured carpet in soft greys accented with navy décor, layered textiles, and mixed materials to create a room that's elegant, comfortable, and quietly luxurious.

Today's carpet is nothing like the carpet many homeowners remember. Modern fibres offer incredible softness, impressive stain resistance, and beautiful woven textures that bring warmth and comfort to family rooms, bedrooms, and finished basements.

Which Style Fits Your Lifestyle?

Every home is different, and so is every family. The right flooring depends not only on your design style, but also on how you live.

The best flooring isn't about following trends—it's about choosing the option that fits your home, your lifestyle, and the way you want your space to feel.
