Few things are as classic and timeless as wood. From beautiful hardwood floors to stunning and unique countertops, here are a few easy ways to bring the beauty of wood into your home.

Wood countertops can make a once clinical-feeling kitchen warm and welcoming. Countertops from Heritage Wood are easy to care for and long lasting. There are many options available, including checkerboard patterned pieces and eco-friendly reclaimed wood. A wide variety of edge profiles are also available.

Wood flooring is a classic example of the beauty of hardwoods. A wide variety of colors are available to suit any decor. From standard-sized to wide-plank boards, you are sure to find a shade and style that suits your taste. Additionally, you can choose to incorporate more than one color of wood into your floor, like in the photo. A richer shade borders the dining room, highlighting and defining the space.

Construction Resources can help you select the perfect wood accents for your home. For more information visit the Construction Resources website.

Whether in the kitchen or bathroom, tile mosaics give a room that extra “wow-factor,” showing that time, thought and effort was put into creating the room.

Tile has always been a popular material in areas that tend to be wet, like showers and bathrooms, but mosaic achieves an extra special look.

In bathrooms and kitchens alike, consider adding a tile backsplash to your current home, or even your new one. The simple renovation will allow you to get creative and tie new beautiful colors or emphasize existing ones if you so desire.

Current mosaic trends for kitchens include adding a little brightness. Try a brighter tile interspersed with other tones represented in your kitchen. Of course, a tile backsplash is a functional and fashionable feature to have in the kitchen, but try adding smaller tiles in artsy ways so they can complement the larger ones.

In terms of bathrooms, pebbles are very trendy at the moment. Pebbles can be incorporated into mosaics themselves, but they look even more luxurious and earthy as bathroom floors. Pebbles are truly a chic way to update the bathroom. For a dramatic look for the more modern bathroom, try adding sleek, dark black pebbles on the bathroom floor. For a spa-like look, blue, grey, tan and white assorted pebbles look relaxing-and almost nautically reminiscent of waves- on the walls or in a small mosaic framing the sink.

To stay current on the latest design trends for kitchens and bathrooms, visit Construction Resources. Their staff is full of creative ideas to help you get started on your remodel or new home project. Not to mention, they have a large selection of tiles, countertop materials and other complements to bathrooms and kitchens. For more information, visit Construction Resources online.

Shag was the rage in the 1960s and 1970s. No modern home was considered complete without it. The plush carpet feels nice on bare feet, but it takes a lot of care. The long strands, which are twisted loosely and spaced less tightly than most carpets, lie in different directions when walked on. For that reason, homes were also incomplete without a “carpet rake.” Many a child had to rake the carpet as a regular chore.

Fast forward a few decades, and meet frieze, most commonly pronounced “free-say.” The informal, laid-back look and the plush, pamper-your-feet feel of this very popular carpet is similar to the short shag from years ago. In fact, it has reached the same “must have” status shag enjoyed back when.

But this remix has those who do chores in the home singing a happier tune. The yarns in a frieze carpet are more twisted than in shag, providing a curly, textured surface that resists foot prints and even vacuum marks. Frieze carpet is often recommended for high traffic areas because of its resilience – no raking required!

Construction Resources, Inc., carries this very up-to-date 70s throwback by manufacturers Mohawk, Shaw and Beaulieu. Samples in various colors are available at the Decatur showroom. For a showroom appointment, call 1-800-765-5129.

Construction Resources is proud to now offer numerous flooring options including bamboo. Because many different varieties exist, bamboo allows homeowners the ability to tailor the color to match almost any décor in their home. Stop by one of our showrooms to find out for yourself.

Bamboo resists humidity and is a highly adaptable flooring option. While we have seen the benefits of bamboo in furniture and home products, it wasn’t until a few years ago that it was even considered a flooring option. Once it was introduced the public, it took off. The range of styles offered, easy upkeep, quality and cost effectiveness have made it the “go to” choice for homeowners across the United States.

Because bamboo is a rapid growing grass and not wood, it is typically harvested every five to seven years, unlike other woods that are harvested every 15 to 100 years. The harvest time for bamboo makes it more of an environmentally friendly product for flooring. Conservationists have praised this aspect of the material. The leftover leaves and shoots are utilized as a food source for livestock both here in the U.S. and in Asia.

By using bamboo as an alternate source, woods such as oak and pine are being saved, slowing down the clearing of forests across the world. It is becoming more important every year to use renewable resources. By using bamboo flooring, you are helping to preserve the environment.
