New wall to wall carpet is always an exciting option. If you get a quality nylon with a thick, dense pile (45 ounces or more) it can be an extremely durable option too. Especially if you spring for a pad upgrade. Which is what really determines how long that sea of inviting color will keep it's good looks.

You'll find there are more choices that go well beyond traditional oak or pine too. Some like the greener options like bamboo. Others prefer exotics or African hardwoods. Of course you should expect to pay more for some of these imports too.

You'll find ceramic tile has it's place too. Like in the kitchen, bath, or your entrance ways or anywhere water might be an issue. Stylish and durable the range of colors can boggle the mind.

If you are watching your pennies then you can't go wrong with vinyl. It is easy to install, easy to clean, long lasting and available in a host of different styles and patterns. You can lay down a solid color or opt for eye pleasing patterns. Vinyl comes in sheets or tiles. Some really appreciate the no wax finishes available anymore.

Adding an area rug to a room can introduce a splash of color that was lacking. Making your home more appealing than ever. These can make your room look more pleasant and inviting. Plus the right color choice can bring together all the decorating elements in the room.
