People always want to look good. We buy fancy clothes and jewelry to look nice and impressive. We usually do this to feel good. This is a completely human instinct. And we have extended this instinct to look good and feel good to everything we own. We deck out our cars with top-of-the-line accessories, decorate our gardens and patios, and of course, beautify our homes.
And one of the best ways to make the interior of our house look impressive is to get a stylish floor. Most houses appear elegant on the outside, but lack the necessary elegance on the inside to impress visitors. Traditionally, homeowners turn to hardwood flooring to give an elegant look to their interior.
The intricate patterns bestowed by nature on hardwood look very beautiful when polished. Yes, hardwood floors are really classy. But the thing is, the elegance of hardwood floors is expensive. Low-quality walnut floors, for example, cost upwards of $5 per square foot and don’t look very impressive. If you’re looking for a premium, handcrafted walnut floor, it will cost you upwards of $10 per square foot.
In addition to the already expensive price of hardwood floors, you will also need the services of a professional flooring installer. For wooden floors you need special care. You’d be lucky if you could find an installer who would charge you $8 per square foot. Most of the time, flooring installers ask for a fee that is much higher than that. If you plan to install premium hardwood flooring in a 12×12 room, the installation alone will cost you well over a thousand dollars.
That’s a pretty hefty amount these days. Fortunately, you can give hardwood floors that timeless, natural beauty without breaking the bank with a laminate floor from Columbia.
