Flooring styles are important in overall design trends. Flooring often makes the first impression on a potential buyer, especially if your home will be shown after you’ve moved out. An outdated tile or unfashionable color can create an initial negative impact. Flooring that doesn’t match a room’s function also makes a negative impression. For instance, carpeting in the bedroom may be a cozy feature, but carpeting in the kitchen or bathroom is not.
