Shaw Floors: John Boehm Talks Flooring

Joe Boehm, senior interior designer for Better Homes and Gardens, recently talked with Shaw about some helpful styling tips for floors.

Joe explains how flooring is an investment so it is important to think about the function of the room, the lifestyle of the family, and the purpose of the floor. Layering is one style option to add an interesting look to a room, you could have a tile floor layered with oriental area rug or a hardwood floor with a geometric rug. Styling the floor is all about the look of the room and personal style.

Shaw Floors: John Boehm Talks Style

Joe Boehm, senior interior designer for Better Homes and Gardens, took some time out of his busy day to give Shaw Floors a look into the world of interior design and style.

Style is broad and has become highly influenced by the internet which allows consumers to add their own personal influence when decorating. Ethnic and global styles, where consumers decorate with items from their travels is one trend Joe has been seeing. Another trend is the revival of the bland color palette, full of whites and grays where colors and textures are built up. This could be in the form of a rough textured carpet complimented by a grey stained hardwood floor.
