While wall colors, cabinet finishes and window treatments might be some of the more well-known ways to style a room and the most visible, since all are at eye level the surface beneath your feet is just as important. And today, there are several versatile selections to choose from.

As people of the 21st century, we can benefit from the beauty of different flooring styles and new advancements in the industry, with innovative features that make them suitable for nearly every area of your home.

"Luxury vinyl plank is selling like hotcakes, because it is waterproof, says Kari Muse, who owns C. Dalton Flooring, 2405 Main St., Ste. 6, with her husband, Anthony Muse.

"Because it looks like wood (or tile), you can put it everywhere instead of having it cookie-cutter around the house, she adds.

Christine Prater, owner of The Carpet Lady, 1174 Main St., Ste. C, agrees, and says there are some considerations as to where it should be placed.

"I highly recommend thinking about whether you want to put it on your stairs, she says. "People get used to putting carpet there, and it is a different feel (that affects) how you walk up and down on it.

There are two different types of luxury vinyl plank WPC and SPC.

WPC wood plastic composite has the benefit of being waterproof. For heavily trafficked areas or households with children and pets, SPC stone plastic composite offers greater durability and has the same waterproof features of WPC.

"You can put it in laundry rooms and bathrooms, says Muse. "There are all different wood looks and colors.

And, she says, there is a smooth finish, and a beveled finish. The beveled finish gives the "hardwood styles a more pronounced and authentic look.

"It looks like real wood I have it in my own house, says Prater, adding that it is reasonably priced, beautiful and easy to maintain.

With so many colors and styles to choose from, this versatile flooring option can help elevate a room and give it an all-new feel.

Whether paired with additional architectural elements or installed on its own, luxury vinyl plank could be the design key youve been waiting to discover.
