Floors That Support Focus
The type and design of your flooring can change how focused you are throughout the day. Overly busy or reflective floors can be distracting. However, thoughtful choices can anchor your space. Think about the following:
- Choose Low-Pattern LVP: Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) with minimal patterns can reduce visual clutter and keep you focused on your tasks.
- Avoid Shiny Surfaces: Highly reflective floors create glare and visual noise, which can be distracting while you work or read.
- Keep Transitions Minimal: Abrupt changes between different flooring types can be distracting. Limit dramatic transitions to maintain a calm, cohesive flow.
Choosing the right flooring is essential. It helps your home become a base for concentration and efficiency.
