10 Timeless Floors
The flooring that you choose for your home is essential. The flooring is the base of the home and can make or break the overall appearance of the home. It can also be expensive and time-consuming to replace, so it’s important to choose something that is timeless and won’t detract from the rest of the home. Whether you decide on carpet, hardwood, or something else for your home, there are some materials that will never go out of style.

Styles We Love: Return to Noir
Using black coloring throughout your home can give it a modern, unique edge. While black is a more neutral color, using it sparingly throughout your home can create an eye-catching, stark contrast that makes your home stand out. You can choose something like a black accent wall or black trimming to give your home extra dimension that allows you to tie the rest of the room together with black decor, allowing it to flow together.

When you are inside your home for a large portion of your time over the cold winters, you want your home to be a warm, inviting place where you feel at ease. Making sure you have the proper lighting is one of the first things to consider in order to get this overall feeling in your home.
