Choosing new flooring is a big decision. It’s something you’ll see and walk on every day for years, so it’s worth taking a little time to prepare before visiting a flooring showroom.
The good news? You don’t need hours of planning.
With just 15 minutes of preparation, you’ll be ready to compare flooring options confidently and make the most of your visit to Best Floors & More in O’Fallon, MO.
Here are a few simple steps that can help you choose flooring that’s the right fit for your home and lifestyle.
1. Take a Few Photos of the Room
Before heading to the showroom, walk through the room where you’ll be installing new flooring and take several photos.
Include:
- The entire room
- Walls and trim
- Cabinets or built-ins
- Windows and natural lighting
- Furniture you’ll be keeping
These photos help our team recommend flooring colors and styles that complement your space.
2. Measure the Space (If You Can)
You don’t need perfect measurements, but having an approximate room size is helpful.
Knowing whether you’re flooring a small bedroom, a large living room, or an entire level allows us to suggest products that fit your project and budget.
If you’re unsure, don’t worry—we can explain the next steps for getting accurate measurements.
3. Bring Paint, Cabinet, or Countertop Samples
Flooring should complement the rest of your home.
If possible, bring:
- Paint swatches
- Cabinet door samples
- Countertop samples
- Tile samples
- Fabric or furniture colors
Seeing these alongside flooring samples makes it much easier to create a cohesive look.
4. Think About How the Room Is Used
Every room has different needs.
Ask yourself:
- Do you have children?
- Are there pets?
- Is this a high-traffic area?
- Will the room be exposed to moisture?
- Do you want something that’s easy to clean?
The answers help narrow down the best flooring options much faster.
5. Save a Few Inspiration Photos
If you’ve seen flooring you like online or in a magazine, save a few pictures on your phone.
These images help communicate your style preferences and give our team a better understanding of the look you’re trying to achieve.
Whether you prefer modern, traditional, rustic, or contemporary designs, inspiration photos make recommendations more personalized.
6. Come Ready to Compare Flooring in Person
One of the biggest advantages of visiting a showroom is seeing flooring with your own eyes.
Online images can vary depending on screen settings and lighting.
In our showroom, you can:
- Compare colors side by side
- Feel different textures
- See plank widths and lengths
- Evaluate finishes under showroom lighting
Many homeowners are surprised by how different flooring looks in person compared to online photos.
7. Ask Questions
Don’t hesitate to ask questions during your visit.
Some common topics include:
- Which flooring works best for my lifestyle?
- What’s the difference between luxury vinyl, laminate, hardwood, and tile?
- Which products are waterproof?
- What type of flooring is easiest to maintain?
- How long does installation usually take?
- Are there flooring options within my budget?
