Is Gray The New Neutral?

June 1, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

When it comes to décor, there are a few hard and fast rules. Even if you don’t consistently follow the trends in color, fabrics, flooring and paint, you can easily recognize what is popular by shopping in furniture and home décor stores, as well as browsing home design websites.

However, the basic tenants of design are not immune to change. For decades interior designers have typically organized rooms around a neutral shade and two complementing or contrasting colors. Neutrals like beige, camel, tan and white have been popular for many years because they look good on floors and walls and tend to make rooms look larger and brighter.

New is the idea of what is considered neutral, and gray and its many shades is now considered the new beige. A darker gray can be an attractive alternative while remaining subtle. When combined with white and black gray makes a bold statement. Bright colors really pop with gray. Cooler shades of gray can make a room feel inviting on a hot day and make rooms look refined and understated.

We see shades being used in paint, furniture, and cabinet selections and now in all of the flooring categories: carpeting, luxury vinyl plank and ceramic and porcelain tile and even hardwood. Two of the newest colors in hardwood are an offering from Mullican called Chatelain Hickory Granite and from Armstrong American Scrape Oak Nantucket. The Chatelaine is available in 3/4 “solid and in 4” and 5” widths. The American Scrape is also available in 3/4 “solid and in 3 ” and 5” widths.

Stop by Fred Callaghan Carpet & Flooring and see our huge selection of new offerings from Shaw, Mohawk, Karastan, Masland, Stanton, Mullican, Armstrong, Mirage, Mercier, Core Tec, Daltile, American Olean, Florida Tile and many more.

How To Choose Ceramic Tile

April 7, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

The next time you feel inspired to tackle a home improvement project, consider updating old tile or adding tile to your home. Tile refers to any kind of durable material that can be laid in rows over a particular surface. It most commonly refers to stone, ceramic, porcelain, and glass. All of these materials are good looking and strong and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. When selecting tile for your next home project, it is important to keep a few basic things in mind.

Where will the tile be placed?

Selecting the best tile for your project very much depends on where the tile will be used and will narrow down your size and material. For example, floor tile has to be safe to walk on, so you want to make sure that the texture and strength of the tile is correct. Stone, ceramic and porcelain are most commonly used for counters and floors, with stone being the most durable. Glass is mostly used for walls and backsplashes and is great for kitchens and bathrooms and comes in a wide variety of colors and finishes. Ceramic tile is a good fit for bathrooms or other moisture rich environments. It is easy to clean and install, it’s waterproof and sturdy.

What is your budget?

There is a wide range of prices for tile. Below are sample ranges, not including installation.

Ceramic tile ranges between $2 – $20 per square foot.

Natural Stone ranges from $7-$28 per square foot.

Glass tiles range from $7 – $30 per square foot

Porcelain tile ranges from $3-$25 per square foot.
