Don’t Choose a Floor Based on a Picture

a gorgeous home with nice wood flooring

When looking for the perfect flooring, it’s easy to get lost in the endless scroll of beautiful photos showcasing rich hardwoods or sleek, modern vinyl that looks too good to resist. Maybe you’ve found something you love on Pinterest, Instagram, or in a home decor catalog, and you’re thinking, “That’s the one! It’ll look amazing in my space.” 

A word of caution: those photos don’t tell the whole story. Sure, they catch your eye, but they don’t show you how the floor will actually look under the lighting in your home or office, how it will feel underfoot, or how it’ll stand up to your daily life.

Flooring That’s More Than Picture Perfect

Picking the right floor is about much more than the picture-perfect photo. You need a floor that fits your space, style, and real-life needs. Instead of guessing how a floor might look or perform, go in person to experience samples to see how different lighting affects the color and texture of the flooring, and talk to an expert about durability and performance based on your needs.  

At LVP Warehouse, we know your space deserves more than a picture-perfect floor. 

Here’s why you should visit us and see samples before you decide.

1. Lighting Makes a Difference

That beautiful floor you see online might look totally different in your home. Photos are often taken under perfect lighting, but your space has its own unique light, which can make colors appear darker or lighter. See it in person, and let the actual lighting of your room show you how the floor will truly look.

2. Durability Over Style

A floor might look fabulous in a photo, but how will it hold up in your home or business? The wear layer and durability of the LVP are key to ensuring your floor lasts. Whether in a busy home or a high-traffic commercial space, we’ll guide you to the right choice that suits your needs.

3. Feel the Floor

A floor’s texture and thickness aren’t captured in a photo, but they matter. You must feel it yourself, whether you want something smooth and sleek or more textured for comfort. Come in and get a real sense of how the floor will feel underfoot.

4. Scale It Right

A wide-angle photo might make a floor look perfect, but it might be too busy in your room or not fit the proportions just right. Seeing it in person lets you picture how the planks will actually fit in your space, which can make a massive difference in the look and feel of your room.

5. Quality That Lasts

Not all LVP is created equal. Photos can’t tell you how well the floor will withstand scratches, spills, or daily wear. With the right samples, we’ll help you find a floor that will hold up for years—without the guesswork.

6. Timeless Over Trendy

The latest trends might look great in a picture, but trends come and go. Instead of chasing the latest floor craze, choose a timeless style that fits your space and will keep looking great long after the trends fade.

7. No Surprises

Have you ever bought something online and received it but found it wasn’t quite what you expected? The same can happen with flooring. LVP can vary slightly between lots, so what you see in a picture might not match exactly. When you come in to see samples, you can be sure what you choose is what you’ll get.
