So your new floors look great and all, but there are a few concerns you have with its well being and maintenance. When animals and other people are your main source of foot traffic, those beautiful shining floors can sometimes quickly turn into faded and scratched surfaces. It’s at this point you might be asking yourself ‘so what can I do?’ with limited choices -- but fear not! Area rug placement can be a huge factor in keeping your home free of scratches and blemishes in the highest traffic areas. Here are a few tips to help prevent this from happening.
Placement Matters
You might have an area rug tossed into the room, but the placement matters much more than the actual rug itself. If you’re in a high traffic area, it’s a good idea to stick something on top of the wood in those places to prevent damage from occurring. This way, you’ll be able to capture dirt and debris before it makes its way onto the floor and gets caught between it and a foot in motion.
Constant Movement
Though your area rug can go in specific places on the floor, it’s not meant to stay there forever. Unless your home has no light shining through it, you’ll eventually begin to see faded areas once you move things around. This can be detrimental to the overall look of your room, and prevent you from changing the position of your furniture and decorative items when your taste changes.
Of course, you’re going to need a few things to get the wood finished before you can dress it up with decorations around the room. To get this job done, make sure you visit one of Hall Flooring’s convenient locations in the CT and NY areas!
