Everything is Bigger in Texas (and Flooring!)
Flooring trends are constantly changing and 2014 has been the year of making things BIGGER! Larger tiles and wider hardwood planks are making a huge statement this year and we are loving it!
12×12″ tile has always been a popular tile choice and for many years was the one-size-fits-all floor for consumers looking to change up a bathroom or kitchen, but this is no longer the case! These days we have tiles that are 18×18″, 20×20″, and even 24×24″. Most would think that large tiles are only good for large spaces, but larger tiles mean fewer grout lines which can actually help a smaller room look larger. It is also fun to mix and match different size tiles!
Another neat take on wide-plank hardwood is Variable-width hardwood floors. From what we have seen, many homeowners and designers are mixing flooring planks of different widths to achieve a custom look. One of our favorite Variable-width floors is Lakeside-Buchanan Birch by Southern Traditions. This floor mixes 3″ 5″ 7″ boards to create a look that is unique and timeless.
While designing trends come and go, we think the larger tiles and hardwood planks are here to stay! Visit our Champion Floors locations in Schertz or Universal City to see these and other great products (large and small).
