Design Tips

Vinyl Sheet

• One of vinyl sheet's biggest attributes is that it creates a solid, uninterrupted expanse of floor. This can make a small room look larger and is generally pleasing to the eye.

• Vinyl that mimics the look of other materials (such as wood or stone) has become more realistic, and can achieve many of the same effects. But it is also available in a variety of different colors and patterns that can complement almost any décor.

• If you like to keep your décor current with the latest design trends, consider vinyl. It's available in a multitude of designs and at a comparatively low price, adds a lot of style to your home.

• Contemporary vinyl designs show off the clean, sleek lines of modern décor. Even white and light colors are easy to maintain with sweeping and occasional damp mopping.

• New technology makes it possible for vinyl flooring to mimic the look of real wood, stone or ceramic very convincingly. So, if you want the look of natural materials in places where they aren't recommended, such as solid wood in a high-traffic area, vinyl is the perfect solution. 

• To add subtle visual interest to a room, consider vinyl in a solid- color field that has a textured surface, or, a pattern that's mostly solid-colored with minimal patterning.

• The general rule of thumb for decorating is large patterns for large rooms and small patterns for small rooms. But, rules are made to be broken! A well-selected large pattern can make a dramatic statement in a small room, and the right small pattern can add whimsy to a large room.

• If you plan to choose vibrant colors for your walls or furnishings, or if you have a substantial amount of art, photos collectibles or wall hangings, consider a minimally patterned vinyl with a very low gloss finish. It provides a neutral backdrop for a busy room.

Professional Designers Love Vinyl Sheet!

When I work with a client, the first thing I do is find out how the client wants to live. Are they formal or casual? Do they have children and/or pets? Do they entertain and have many people through their home, or do they like the serenity of their private environment. With these questions answered, I can determine the best possible floor for the client. These are the same questions you should ask yourself. Vinyl is strong, and good for high traffic applications.

The right floor can make or break a room. It should be as important as wall color and shouldn't be an afterthought. It's a place to add color and pattern. Don't be afraid to try something new.
