8 points to consider when selecting your floor:

1) Flooring Selection
Your floor should complement rather than dominate other design elements in the room. If your room is simple, consider a floor with a stronger pattern. If your room has a more distinct style, the floor should pick up on existing colors and patterns. The floor should serve as the backdrop to the overall design scheme.

2) Color
These floors are available in a wide range of the latest color trends for home design. Choose one of these colors to add interest and design excitement to your room. You might want to select a color family that coordinates with your countertop, wallpaper, or even dinnerware that you will use in the room.

3) Traffic Pattern
All these floors are made to the highest standards and last for years. But there are considerations you should keep in mind. What type of room will the floor go in? Are there doors to the outsides? Do you have kids or pets?

4) Light Sources
The sizes of your windows, the direction they face, and whether the rooms have incandescent light all contribute to the appearance of your floor. Always view your flooring selection in the same lighting that will be used in your home.

5) Design and Style
Choose your floor to coordinate with the style you like. Whether your home is traditional country, or contemporary, your floor can make a statement. For traditional or country/colonial decors, a rustic ceramic look would be appropriate. Crisp geometrics are more likely to be used in a contemporary setting. Polished marbles and ancient stones with inset designs have a beautiful look for traditional design.

6) Scale and Pattern
When coordinating a floor with wallpaper, the general rule of thumb is that if the wallpaper or fabric used in the room is a large scale, select a small-scale design on the floor, and vice versa. Also, if you plan to use several patterns in the room, you'll have the best results if you use one small, one medium, and one large pattern. That way the designs are neither too overwhelming nor too busy.

7) Room Size
If your room is small, select a lighter color to make the room appear larger. Rich, darker tones will absorb available light and create a warmer, more intimate environment in a large room. A small pattern will work well in small rooms or rooms where the pattern is visually interrupted by an island or other furniture. However, a larger pattern can actually expand a room visually.

8) Existing Furniture and Cabinets
Be sure to choose a color to either coordinate or contrast with your current furnishings and cabinetry. To coordinate with a resilient floor, make sure your tones work well together. For contrast, white or almod cabinets look great with virually any floor. Painted cabinets can often pick up an accent color in a floor pattern.
