Welcome Home Entryways, Living Areas, and Gathering Spaces

hen you walk into a home, whether for a celebration or after a long day’s work, you want to feel welcomed. Elegant enough to host an anniversary party and comfortable enough to kick off your Manolo’s, it is a fine art to have your living areas serve their purpose while reflecting your personal style Flooring plays an enormous role in setting the mood of your home, it being the one surface with which every person interacts. Not only does flooring directly connect with people, but it also connects every space in your home. Today’s choices in resilient flooring suitable for your home’s public areas should meet the requirements of the most demanding critic — you! If budget isn’t the reason, why would you buy a luxury vinyl floor over, let’s say, a hardwood floor? Granted that Luxury Vinyl Flooring Novalis Serenbe Bordeaux 12" x 24" (LVF) is high performance and high fashion, it is all about natural looks with enhanced features. Advances in production have launched Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT), also called Luxury Vinyl Planks (LVP) floors, to be the best-looking flooring in wood while providing characteristics that perform better than natural wood. For instance, luxury vinyl planks never need refinishing, don’t warp due to moisture, and are indistinguishable from real wood. Clearly, luxury vinyl planks trump natural wood in this maintenance-care-and-looks trifecta! ■
