Bring nature's beauty into home through flooring
STORY TOOLS 
More from Homes StoriesThis season, revamp your décor with floors that bring the beauty of the outdoors right into your home. According to experts at flooring company Mannington Mills, today's most popular trends for home flooring are wood, slate and stone looks. And thanks to advancements in technology, you can get the look of a real hardwood, slate or stone floor in a variety of other materials that make it hard to tell it's not the real thing.
Real hardwood flooring offers timeless beauty, durability and now installation that's as easy as "drop, lock and go." If your taste is more traditional, choose Early American Hickory, or, for a more contemporary look, try Brazilian Cherry. Whether your taste is exotic hardwood like Sapele or traditional hardwood like Mission Oak or Black Forest Cherry, there's something for every style.
If real hardwood won't suit your needs, you might look to laminate flooring. Laminate comes in wood, slate and stone designs and has incredible realism and durability.
Experience the bold texture and visual beauty of nature with the incredibly real Raja Slate or Heritage Cherry. And for an effortless floor, look to vinyl. Today's vinyl flooring patterns aren't the shiny white squares that your grandmother favored. In fact, they're so realistic, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between a vinyl stone or slate pattern from its "real" counterpart.
So this season surround yourself with nature from the floor up.
