When it comes to home design, achieving both style and durability can feel like a challenge. You want beautiful spaces that reflect your personality—but you also need finishes that can withstand real life: kids, pets, spills and everything in between. The good news? You don't have to sacrifice one for the other.
From smart material choices to helpful planning tools, here's how to create a home that's both beautiful and built to last—without breaking the bank.
1. Start with Simplicity That Builds Confidence
Knowing where the real-life action happens in your home gives you clarity and confidence in your choices. By prioritizing function in these spaces, you'll lay a solid foundation—literally—for style to follow.

2. Choose Materials Designed for Real Life
100% waterproof, so you don't have to worry about spills or moisture damage.
- Kidproof and pet proof, ideal for busy households
- Build with pre-attached cork or Soft Step underlayment that withstands exposure to moisture, adds warmth and helps reduce sounds.
These floors are made to be lived on, not tiptoed around
3. Make Smart, Long-Term Investments in Your Home
Stylish flooring should also be a smart investment. LVP and LVT don't just look great, they're:
- Long-Lasting with minimal maintenance
- More affordable than natural hardwood or tile
- Known to increase home appeal for future resale
It's a win-win: elevated design and lasting value.
