The Beauty of Hardwood Flooring & The Comfort of an Area Rug


There is not a doubt in my mind that Hardwood Flooring or Engineered Hardwood Flooring is the most desirable type of flooring available to North Americans today. There is something about a hardwood floor that screams out luxury and elegance. To me hardwood and engineered hardwood is so luxurious because a floor will be made up of hundreds or thousands of boards and every board has its own unique look, meaning there are not two boards the same throughout the entire room, which makes for a very stunning look.

Although hardwood flooring is very luxurious and rich looking, after starting a family my wife and I have come to the conclusion that an area rug not only adds warmth to the luxurious hardwood as well as the room, it also provides a great spot for kids to play and crawl around. We have two dogs and a beautiful 4 month old girl named Evelyn Grace, our home has hard surface in the living-room, kitchen and hall with carpet in the bedrooms for comfort. We love the hardwood look! However we don't want our little baby playing on the hard surface, not only because of comfort but also because we don't want our flooring destroyed!An area rug was perfect solution to our problem because we wanted our home to look luxurious but at the same time we are very practical. We put an area rug in the living room for our girl to play on and she loves it! We also like the feel of it on our feet while watching TV as well as the warmth it adds to our room. At first we thought it would be hard to keep clean, however it is really no harder to clean than a hardwood floor and according to the CRI (Carpet & Rug Institute) a carpet will actually provide a home with a better air quality over a hard surface floor.



Sometimes it is difficult to find the perfect colour, size, shape or pattern in a stock area rug. At Owen Flooring we custom cut and bind any one of our carpets to the size, shape, style and colour of our customers wants or needs. There are many pattern and colour options available as well with Masland Carpets, Dixie HomeSTAINMASTER as well as Phenix Flooring. If your family is anything like mine, once you find that perfect area rug made for your home or room, you will certainly become a big fan of the comfort and style it brings with it!
