Preparing for a flooring consultation ensures a smooth and efficient experience while helping the staff provide personalized recommendations. Here’s how to get ready:
Start by identifying the room or space you’re updating, such as a kitchen, living room, or basement. Think about your priorities: Are you looking for durability, aesthetics, easy maintenance, or a budget-friendly option? Consider any special requirements, like waterproofing or scratch resistance, to ensure the flooring suits your lifestyle.
Having accurate room dimensions or a simple sketch with measurements can make a big difference. Pay attention to existing features like wall colors, furniture styles, lighting, and adjoining flooring to create a cohesive look.
