How to Achieve a High-End Look on a Budget
The beauty of high-end flooring often comes with a premium price tag, but achieving that luxurious look doesn't always require draining your savings account. As Denver's trusted flooring experts, we're sharing our insider tips to help you create an upscale aesthetic while staying mindful of your budget.
Choose Strategic Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)
Today's luxury vinyl planks have advanced significantly, offering incredibly realistic appearances of wood and stone. The key? Install higher-quality LVP in prominent areas like your entryway or living room, where the effect is most noticeable. Modern LVP technology creates textures and patterns that can deceive even the most discerning eye, all while providing superior durability at a fraction of the cost.
Mix and Match Materials
One of our favorite designer tricks is combining different flooring materials strategically. Consider using:
- Premium materials in focal points
- Budget-friendly options in less visible areas
- Complementary materials that create intentional transitions
Upgrade Your Installation Pattern
Sometimes it's not about the material itself, but how you install it. Consider these cost-effective yet luxurious installation patterns:
- Herringbone layout
- Diagonal installation of laminate
- Mixed-width planks for added visual interest
Focus on Proper Maintenance
A well-maintained floor always appears more costly than a neglected premium product. We recommend:
- Regular cleaning routines
- Immediate attention to spills
- Professional maintenance when needed
- Using proper cleaning products for your specific flooring
Leverage Lighting
Both natural and artificial lighting can significantly improve how your flooring looks.
- Position furniture to maximize natural light
- Use strategic lighting to highlight flooring features
- Consider floor finish options that work with your home's lighting
The Power of Proper Transitions
High-end looks often come down to the details:
- Invest in quality transition strips
- Ensure precise cuts around corners
- Pay attention to baseboards and trim
