Flooring Trend Report | Westchester NY - hardwood, carpet, tile and more

 Over the last 5 months I've developed a series of trend reports for flooring. I thought it would be helpful to organize all of these in one place.  Some are organized by flooring type (e.g. hardwood, carpet), some by room and then several general trends.  While these are specifically targeted for Westchester NY home owners, I think many of these trends hold across many parts of the country.  Hope this is helpful.

Hardwood Trends

Hardwood Flooring Trends - Westchester County - September 2011 The favorite flooring surface for Westchester NY

Hardwood flooring stain color trends - Winter 2011  Every home's style is different, but this provides some good guidelines on what colors are hot.

Carpet Trends

Carpet Trends - Westchester NY - August 2011  Carpeting is a very practical surface and usually costs less than other flooring surfaces.  Trends vary a bit based on the area/room being explored.

Trends in Carpet Runners - Winter 2011  Carpet runners for steps seem to be more popular in the Westchester area than other parts of the country given the age and style of homes here.  They provide both decor and safety.

Trends in carpet colors - Winter 2011 - Westchester NY  Again, you need to look at the style of the home and the room, but these are some general guidelines.

 

Tile Trends

Tile Flooring Trends - Westchester County - 3rd Quarter 2011 This covers all rooms that tend to have tiles

Bathroom Tile Trends - Westchester County - 3rd Quarter 2011   This trend report focuses on the smallest room of the home - the bathroom

Kitchen backsplash trends - Westchester County - Fall 2011  This is usually the last part of the kitchen and it can make or break it.

Basement Flooring Trends - Westchester County - This is often the trickiest room in the house to find flooring for.
