(NC)-Resilient flooring is making a comeback on the flooring scene and the designs today are more fashionable than yesterday's linoleum. It has a wide range of designs, is comfortable, durable, easy to install and is an affordable flooring option for your home.

Today's resilient flooring is available in a wealth of designs and colour inspirations to suit every mood and room. Designs range from simple geometric and graphic patterns to ones that imitate natural woods, marble and ceramic tile such as Beauflor resilient floors. "All of Beauflor's options make it effortless to create your own design because each roll is simple to cut and install allowing for easy design coordination with an existing floor" explains Sophie-Tanya Lupien, marketing manager for Beaulieu Canada, distributor of Beauflor.

With all of the pattern options available, designers do suggest using a smaller pattern in a small room to create the illusion of a larger space and the opposite for a larger room - use a larger pattern to make the room cozier. Although be careful when selecting a pattern from a small sample, the pattern may look beautiful on the sample but the pattern repeat could become overwhelming once it's on the floor in your room. More information on patterns and colours is available online at www.beaulieucanada.ca.

Not only is resilient fashionable, it's extremely practical for families with children and pets. It's perfect for entryways, kitchens, bathrooms and high traffic areas due to its resistance to water and stains. The materials used to make the floors also resist water penetration making it less likely to become a breeding ground for mold and mildew, plus its durability helps in resisting scuffs and damage from furniture. Resilient floors also offer a flexibility and softness that make it comfortable to stand and work on as well as contributing to noise reduction.

Resilient flooring is considered one of the most economical flooring options in the market today but don't let the cost fool you - today's resilient will give you the chance to create a unique floor pattern for your style and home.
