Keystone Carpets Inc.

Hosting season is officially here and your dining room floors are about to work overtime. 🥂🌿

Here's something most people don't think about until it's too late: dining areas are one of the highest-wear zones in the entire home. Chair legs dragging back and forth, dropped utensils, spilled drinks, and foot traffic from every direction add up fast.

If you're updating your dining space, here's what to keep in mind:
✅ Hardwood looks stunning but can scratch from chair legs. Use felt pads religiously.
✅ Tile or stone is incredibly durable but can feel cold and hard underfoot during long gatherings.
✅ Luxury vinyl plank gives you the warm wood look with way more forgiveness for spills and scratches.
✅ Engineered hardwood is a great middle ground if you love the real wood feel with slightly better durability.

The floor that photographs beautifully is great. The floor that still looks great two summers of dinner parties later? That's the real goal. 💡

Look at what we have here! Just so you know, at the beginning of the year we chat with our Shaw Floors and Mohawk Industries reps about the new products that are coming out this year. We order the samples that we think will work for our customers. It takes some time for the samples to start showing up, but when they do, they show up in droves. Here are a few that FedEx dropped off for us last week.

Quick reminder that not all flooring is created equal when it comes to moisture. This is especially important heading into summer. ☀️

Here's what to know before you buy:
Solid hardwood expands and contracts with humidity, which can cause warping in moisture-prone spaces like basements or bathrooms.

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is 100% waterproof and holds up in high-humidity environments.

Engineered hardwood is a middle ground. It handles humidity better than solid wood but still has some limits.

Knowing this before you shop saves you from a very expensive mistake later. 💡

This month, make it a point to support the shops that make your neighborhood feel like home. 🛍️💛
