Three Beautiful Room Ideas for a Modern Family from Cinderella Carpet One

Cinderella Carpet One knows that today’s families want a beautiful, modern home that is comfortable for the entire family and holds up to an active lifestyle. These three rooms accomplish just that and with some smart purchases, they will stay beautiful for many years to come.

Light and Airy

Crisp white and clean lines are the epitome of modern but many families shy away

from white because they fear the stains and dirt will quickly ruin the look. The key to pulling together a family friendly room in white is a slipcovered sofa. Slipcovers in durable canvas or brushed cotton are easily washed and bleachable. Many white sofas are even sold with slipcovers that are custom fitted to the piece of furniture so you don’t have to worry about them looking sloppy.

The floor is another area where the fear of stains results in beige or tan. With today’s technologies, you can purchase a stain-resistant floor in any color you want. For a modern look, use a durable, stain-resistant floor. Stain resistant carpet gives you a sleek modern look and due to its unique fiber construction, crushing or matting are not a problem either.

Finish off a light and airy room with some functional furniture. Ottomans and coffee tables with storage are a must for storing books and games so you can keep the room looking clean and crisp. Black and white photos are a great way to personalize the room – mix some black and white versions of family photos with some larger pieces.

Mid-Century Modern

Bright white is not for everyone. Modern design opens up the opportunity to use different shapes and colors than those traditionally used for décor. Neutral browns and tans create a great backdrop for funky shapes and colors without distracting from the design. Balance a unique piece of furniture with a simple black couch or chair. Geometric patterns on fabrics and walls give a modern vibe to the room.

Accessorize a mid-century modern room with sleek modern lamps and large-scale graphic prints. This modern room is a comfortable place for the whole family.

Casual Modern

For a modern living room that is everyone’s favorite hangout, casual and comfortable are the primary focus. A large sectional sofa with modern lines provides lots of room for the entire family and friends. A cream or neutral color is a little more relaxed than bright white but still fresh and clean.

A great option for flooring in a modern room is a light colored hardwood or laminate. But for a comfortable family living room, a cozy area rug is always a good idea. For a simple rug, any carpet can be bound on the edges to make a rug.

Amethyst is a great accent color that is new and modern but not overly bright. A light violet carpet and a few amethyst pillows provide the perfect pop of color. Keep accent furniture and accessories simple and modern by sticking with glass and chrome.

A modern room is a great option for families that like clean, straight lines and simple, clutter-free rooms. With today’s versatile furniture, stain-resistant fabrics and flooring that stands up to a busy family, achieving a modern look is more realistic then ever.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW TO CHOOSE A FLOORCOVERING STORE

One of the most popular and cost effective home improvements that you can do is installing new flooring.  Not only does new flooring update your home it also increases the value of the property. 

When choosing a flooring store to purchase your new floocovering there a few things you need to know:

A good place to start when choosing a reputable flooring store is by looking through the Internet.  With numerous options in your local area it makes it simple to narrow down your options.  Look at the quality of the stores website and the products they offer.  The dynamics of a store’s website will give you a good idea on the type of service and product you can expect.

Another important factor is how many years they have been in business.  The amount of years in business says a lot about its integrity, professionalism and experience.  The best have usually been in business for many years!

It is also recommended you review their testimonials and reviews on Google and Yelp and other social media and business directories.  You can learn a lot about a business by reading what others have to say.  If others have had a good experience it can really help in ultimately making a decision when selecting the store to purchase your new floorcovering.

Choosing a dealer because they have a “cheap price” can be a problem.  Low price can be the bait that attracts you but once you are in the store they try and pressure you into paying much more than the advertised price or install a lower grade carpet than the one you paid for.  Don’t fall for the “bait-and-switch.”

How active is the flooring store on Facebook and Twitter.  Are they actively engaging and updating their Facebook timeline.  Are they posting videos and photos of their products and services?  Social media is a great way to learn about a floorcovering company before choosing which one to work with.

Don’t choose a company based on a single telephone conversation.  To give you an accurate price the dealer needs to know the following:  Kind of flooring, size of the rooms, and any special needs that can affect the installation.  Having an in-home measurement by the store will give the store the information they need to give you an accurate quote.

Finally, when you have narrowed it down to a few flooring stores that you like go in to the store and meet them.  Pay attention to the cleanliness of the store because a well-organized showroom says a lot about a company.  Also, are their sales representatives cordial and cooperative?  The more helpful a company is the better their service will be.
