We chatted with the local experts for their tips to make the process easier:

1. Colour matching 鈥� One of the most important aspects in choosing flooring is colour matching. 鈥淭he best way to ensure they match with your paint and furniture palette is to collect swatches and bring those colours into your flooring centre,鈥� says Blair Fenton, from in Courtenay. 鈥淭his way you can compare the different tones and shades and determine whether the lighter or darker option may be preferable.鈥�

Still can鈥檛 decide? Ask your flooring advisor whether you can take a small sample piece home to help you visualize the final result.
