    Welcome May Flowers into Your Home Decor http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/welcome-may-flowers-into-your-home-decor/ http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/welcome-may-flowers-into-your-home-decor/#comments Wed, 01 May 2013 15:32:05 +0000 jmckenzie http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/?p=341 Continue reading ]]> Naturally inspired ideas for your home.

    Florals are in this season, and there are a number of creative ways to incorporate this popular trend into your home.

    • Match your style: Choose flowers and floral patterns that complement and enhance the look and personality of your home. If you are looking for ideas, consider roses or carnations for traditional decor, callas or orchids for contemporary, mixed spring flowers or heather for country, ivy or flowering green plants for casual, or peonies or lavender for Victorian style.
    • An abundance of accents: If you love the floral look but don’t want to worry about the care or maintenance of live flowers, there are a wide range of patterned pieces you can decorate with – throw pillows, dishes, furniture, area rugs, wallpaper, and much more. Mix and match your favorite designs, but be sure to also incorporate neutral accents to balance the patterns and avoid overdoing it.
    • Perfect placement: When using live or faux flowers, size and placement is key. For open spaces like large entryways or dining rooms, go big and bold with abundant arrangements of large blooms. Smaller bouquets add a touch of color to personal areas like bedrooms and bathrooms. And placing just a few flowers in your guest room will create a subtle, yet welcoming touch.
    • The final finishing touch: Don’t forget the containers! They are important to completing the overall look. Whether it’s a simple glass vase, an ornate brass pot, or a classic clay planter, choose materials and colors that complement your flowers or plants and their surrounding environment.

    Choose a Greener Cleaner http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/chooseagreenercleaner/ http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/chooseagreenercleaner/#comments Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:10:31 +0000 jmckenzie http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/?p=333 Continue reading ]]> Floor Care Tips with Flooring Frank

    With Earth Day right around the corner, many of us are thinking more about our impact on the environment. And, as more and more all-natural products hit the market, it’s becoming easier and easier to think green. So, before you reach for that chemical-filled cleaner to tackle the next spill, consider these all natural options. Greener Cleaners

    Grease spills can be a nightmare no matter where they happen, but here’s a tip to tackle the mess on carpet: pour cornstarch on the spill and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes. The grease will adhere to the cornstarch, which can be easily vacuumed away.

    Carpet odors got you down? Just like in the refrigerator, baking soda can help. Sprinkle it on, leave for 15 minutes, then vacuum.

    Hardwood floors ca benefit from a little natural TLC too. Rubbing alcohol can be used to remove permanent marker stains from finished wood floors. Simply pour onto a cotton ball and apply gently until the marks disappear. For scuff marks, sprinkle baking soda on an only slightly dampened sponge and rub gently.

    Get Away with these 3 Ideas for Destination Decor http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/3ideasfordestinationdecor/ http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/3ideasfordestinationdecor/#comments Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:55:31 +0000 jmckenzie http://www.flooringamerica.com/blog/?p=326 Continue reading ]]> Design with vacation in mind.

    Whether it’s a quiet mountain lodge, a sunny beachfront, or a hotel in Paris, the places you visit for rest and relaxation make the perfect inspiration for your home design. Infuse your home with the places you love with these tips for destination decor.

    • Trees, please: If log cabins, warm fireplaces, and the sounds of nature at your doorstep make you long for your next vacation, consider bringing woodsy, mountain styles to your home no matter its location. Fill your home with the forest – rustic wood furniture, picture frames made from sticks and twigs, even wood panels on the walls will give your home that cozy and natural look. Instead of a comforter, top your beds with quilts. For the walls, make your own art by tacking dry leaves to paper or canvas, then spray painting with warm fall colors, or even gold or silver for a glam look. Remove the leaves once dry and frame your creation.
    • Catch a wave: Crisp, clean fabrics, window sheers, and lots of white set the perfect backdrop for a beach-themed design. Pops of blues, from the pale blue color of sky, to turquoise and aquas, to deep shades of navy, will bring the ocean into your design. Try them in accent pieces like throw pillows, candles, and wall art. And don’t forget the shells and sea creatures. Though kitschy when overdone, there are many ways to incorporate these traditional beach staples without going overboard. Pen and ink drawings of sea horses and starfish, mason jars filled with sand or shells, and interesting pieces of driftwood are elegant ways to evoke the feeling of seaside living.
    • C’est chic: Indulge yourself in the glamour and decadence of Parisian style. To recreate it at home, look for rich color, ornate furnishings, and elaborate accessories. Pair gold and crystal to create a lush look, using the combination in light fixtures, candlesticks, and mirrors. Luxurious fabrics – like red velvet and metallic silks – in curtains and even accent furniture will add just the right amount of extravagance to your room. Finally, don’t forget the obvious. An elegant French poster or gold or silver Eiffel Tower accessory will complete your look.

    Will you be doing a bit of spring cleaning this year? Make sure your floors are in tip-top shape with these easy tips:

    Sweep, mop and vacuum everywhere! Now is the time to move that big furniture, entertainment center, appliances, and other usually-permanent items and clean behind them. Just be careful to protect your floors from scratches and scuffs when moving things in and out of place. For tips to move furniture safely, click here.

    Schedule a carpet cleaning. Many warranties require a professional carpet cleaning once a year, so why not schedule it during your spring cleaning? Your local store will be happy to recommend a trusted cleaning service.

    Freshen up that tile. Left unchecked, the grout between your tile floors can darken with stains. Take the opportunity to freshen it up by simply making a paste of baking soda and water, and scrubbing with an old toothbrush.
