Think twice about installing basic beige carpet before you put your house on the market. Smart buyers are attracted to a designed home — a house with color, style and distinction. Color isn't just acceptable; it may mean greater dollar marks in the end.
Is your entire home in need of a flooring make-over? Create a phased plan. Think about timelessness and budget, but don't forget about style. If a product isn't available when you get to that phase of your plan — it's generally for a good reason and you can find something better.
