Choosing new flooring for your home is an exciting yet significant decision that can greatly impact the aesthetics, comfort, and functionality of your living space. Proper preparation can streamline the selection process and ensure you make choices that align with your needs and preferences.  The staff at Quest Interiors can help you select the right flooring for your home or cottage.  Carpeting, LVP, Vinyl, Tile, Hardwood and Laminate are all great options for your space, but each one can vary on price, installation, quality and appearance.  The team in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh will always let you make the decision as to what flooring you want and will explain the pros and cons of each type when you are making your important floor covering selection.  

Here’s a guide on how to prepare to pick out new flooring:

• Assess Your Needs and Lifestyle:
  • Consider the specific requirements for each room where you plan to install new flooring. For instance, high-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms may require more durable options, while bedrooms may prioritize comfort and aesthetics.
  • Take into account factors such as pets, children, and lifestyle habits that could influence your flooring choice. For example, scratch-resistant and easy-to-clean materials might be preferable for households with pets or young children.
• Set a Budget:
  • Determine a realistic budget for your flooring project. The qualified sales members will be able to assist you with this number if you are unsure on what is right.  Your needs and lifestyle will likely determine what type of floor covering is installed in your home. 
• Educate yourself:
  • Explore different types of flooring materials available, such as hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, carpet, and engineered wood. Each material has its own characteristics, advantages, and maintenance requirements.
  • Consider factors like durability, ease of maintenance, comfort, aesthetics, and eco-friendliness when comparing options. Online research, visiting showrooms, and seeking advice from flooring professionals can provide valuable insights.  When you visit our locations in Fond du Lac or Oshkosh, you will walk over our Inspired Flooring.  We stock 30 different colors and patterns of LVP / SPC flooring which is perfect for almost any space.

  • Factor in practical considerations such as moisture resistance, stain resistance, and ease of repair or replacement.
• Gather Samples and Visualize:
  • Obtain samples of your preferred flooring materials to see how they look in your home’s lighting and alongside existing furnishings and decor.
