Calaveras County, CA…it comes to choosing new flooring for your home, you might think your options are limited to either carpet or hardwood.  Well, you’d be wrong!  Flooring choices have really come a long way and some of them may surprise you.  Here are just a few.

• Concrete – Concrete in your house? Sure, why not!  And it doesn’t have to look like a sidewalk or a skating rink (remember those?).  This durable floor can be finished in many colors and textures making it a perfect fit for any home.

• Leather – Maybe not for your entire home, but for a study or home office, leather floors would be a perfect fit.  You can find many different styles and colors of leather from antique brown crocodile to metallic rattlesnake.

• Liquid Lava – Ok, so this is more for a kids room or a play room, but these liquid filled tiles could be a fun addition to your home.  Made from durable polycarbonate, the liquid inside swirls around your feet when stepped on.  Check them out here.

• Cork – That’s right, the same stuff you use to plug your favorite bottle of wine.  Cork is soft, durable and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for every space of your home.

• Bamboo – Considered a grass instead of a wood, bamboo rivals wood in sturdiness.  And because it grows so fast, being full grown in just 2-3 years, it’s a highly sustainable material.

In addition to these styles, there is always a variety of hardwoods to choose from.  Vinyl tiles, decorative ceramic and reclaimed wood pallets are other options, as well.  And for some reason, linoleum is making a big comeback, if that’s your thing.

So, if your dingy old carpet has seen better days, do some research and find new flooring that fits your style.  The possibilities are virtually endless!
