Flooring is one of the biggest things that buyers notice when viewing a home. After all, there’s so much of it that it’s difficult to ignore. It’s also costly to replace, so it can be the difference between making an offer or walking away.

Patterned carpet has been around for decades, with the most garish examples springing up in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Some outlets state that it’s making a comeback, but when it comes to flooring, simple, chic, neutral, and classic are rules to live by.
