Decorating Tips and Trends
Decorating your home is an exciting personal journey filled with choices. Here are some great guides for making decorating decisions you can enjoy for years to come. Use color to make a room appear larger or smaller. Light colors are expansive and, in general, make small rooms appear brighter and larger, while dark colors absorb light and, in general, make large rooms appear cozier and more intimate. Paint your ceiling the same color as the walls or even lighter to create the feeling of space. Paint your ceiling a darker color to make the room appear smaller and cozier.

Pick a starting point
Choose your favorite object in a room, whether it is an antique armoire or a bay window. Make it the centerpiece and decorate around it. Let your favorite object suggest the color palette for the entire room.

Color Flow
Create a unifying flow of colors throughout your house by using the same colors in varying roles in your rooms. If you've used lemon yellow on the wall of the kitchen, use the same lemon yellow as an accent color in the adjoining family room.

Use varying Shades
Don't match carpet or other flooring color exactly with wall paint or upholstery; the room will appear too rigid. Instead choose a darker or lighter shade to create variation and definition.

Accentuate the positive
Highlight the items that you love in a room, whether it be a favorite mantelpiece or a beloved lamp. With today's profusion of fashion oriented flooring colors, it's definitely not just a simple world anymore. The choice of patterns and colors available to you are endless, making flooring an infinitely pliant design tool that can enhance and fine-tune the beauty of any decor.

How to Calculate Flooring Quantity

Laminates Hardwood and Ceramic Tile Calculator
These products are sold by the box. First Calculate Square Footage needed by Multiplying the width of the room in feet by the length of the room in feet rounded to the nearest whole number:
15'6" by 16'8" would be 16 feet x 17feet= 272 square feet.
Next if the box contains 20 square feet then you will need 14 boxes for a total of 280 square feet. The boxes needed and the price will be calculated automatically for your convenience after you indicate the square footage needed.

Please remember you may need to figure up to 10% extra material for waste based on industry standards. Consult with your professional installer for accurate footage needed since you are responsible for the quantity ordered.

Carpet Calculator

Carpets are generally sold by the square foot or square yard. Carpet is available in varying widths; anywhere from 12’-foot widths to 15'-widths. Calculate the square footage needed by Multiplying the width of the room in feet by the length of the room in feet rounded to the nearest whole number.
To calculate square yardage just divide the total
square yardage by 9
15'6" by 17'8" would be 16x18=288 square feet 288 divide by 9 = 32 square yards. Please remember you may need to figure up to 10% extra material for waste or pattern match. Consult with your professional installer for accurate square yards needed since you are responsible for the quantity ordered. Please note large quantity orders maybe filled in multiple rolls with the same dye lot.
