Just as the accent wall had its time in the spotlight, we believe that statement flooring deserves your attention. In case you\u2019re not aware, statement flooring is when the floor receives ample attention when it comes to decorating.\n\nIn your interior decorating certification training, you probably only learned about flooring materials in regards to their basic function. The floor used to be thought of as the blank canvas upon which you place decorative d\u00e9cor, but no more!\n\nPatterned tiles or painted wooden panels add character to a space. Use d\u00e9cor and furniture styles to complement the stylized floors or have it really pop as <em>the<\/em> center of attention in a room. It\u2019s all up to your creativity!\n\nCurious to learn more?

While we are absolutely loving this trend, we can also agree that it may not be suitable for every room of every home. Before considering aesthetics, focus on selecting materials that suit your clients\u2019 lifestyle. Making it functional, durable, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/04\/safety-101-interior-decorators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">safe should be your first priority<\/a>. Are they active? Do they work from home? Are they planning on installing a home theatre? All these considerations will affect the purpose and use of many rooms in a home.\n\nIn the example of a home theatre, avoid hardwood or ceramic tiles. Even though we can think of a number of ways to use colorful tiles to brighten up the space, it would be counterproductive to the room\u2019s purpose. In a space where great acoustics is key, why use flooring that would mess it all up? The floors would bounce sound endlessly all around the room. The resulting effect?

You know what the bathroom and kitchen are used for. But any spare rooms or basements can have multiple potential functions. From guest bedrooms to craft rooms or a home gym, ensure you consult your clients about each room\u2019s ultimate goal.\n\nOnce you have an idea of what your clients want, figure out their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/06\/from-country-to-contemporary-the-wide-variety-of-interior-decorating-styles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">decorating style preferences<\/a>. Over time, certain design materials have become associated with different decorating styles. Distressed and unfinished wood are often highlights of a country-style home. Meanwhile, glass and sleek metals feature heavily in contemporary-style residences.\n\nIf you have an offbeat client, you can absolutely break these rules!

With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2018\/06\/how-to-incorporate-green-design-with-professional-organizing-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">green design movement<\/a>, natural materials are having a heyday! Hardwood is an obvious choice, but your clients may not have the money to redo their entire house with this expensive material.\n\nIf they want to decorate a low-traffic area, consider softwood. Pine is a fine example. It\u2019s cheap, takes finishes well, and suits a wide range of styles. Wide-plank pine is commonly used in Scandinavian style homes in light finishes to reflect natural light around the room. The downside is that due to its softness, its durability takes a hit.\n\nYou could also look into engineered hardwood. This flooring material consists of a hard, durable plywood base with a solid wood top layer. This top layer gives it the appearance of solid hardwood while saving your clients a pretty penny.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Terrazzo<\/h4>\nFor the unfamiliar, terrazzo consists of marble ground down into chips and mixed with cement and epoxies. The mixture is applied over another surface, and once dry, it\u2019s ground down and polished to reveal a mosaic-like appearance. In the \u201870s, this stone-based design option was incredibly popular in commercial and public areas. However, we\u2019ve seen a revival of this pattern in modern homes. Thicker chunks and isolated areas can allow this flooring option to create visual interest without looking outdated.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Brick<\/h4>\nWait, what? You\u2019re probably imagining the sturdy brown brick used to construct all the houses on your block. But it actually has a long history in the interiors of traditional- and classic-style homes. And don\u2019t forget about the exposed brick walls seen in industrial-chic lofts!\n\nFlooring bricks are studier and more durable than the common brick walls you see in industrial buildings. They\u2019re fired at extremely high temperatures so their hardness allows them to resist moisture and abrasion. Some sunrooms use brick floors to absorb heat during the day and release it back at night. If you\u2019re not sure where you can possibly use it, these floors look best in informal country-style rooms.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;13254&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h4>Tiles<\/h4>\nLet\u2019s face it: tiles can be pretty boring.
