Not every homeowner is drawn to the trend of light, natural flooring. Recently, we worked with a realtor whose client wanted to update her Encinitas home with a flooring solution that would both complement its unique design and appeal to potential renters or buyers.
A Warm, Rich Tone to Enhance the Home’s Character
The homeowner’s goal was to enhance the distinctive features of the house, especially the multiple wood trim colors scattered throughout. She envisioned flooring that would add warmth and depth to the home’s design while replacing the aging carpet in the main living areas. Her search led to an ideal solution: vinyl plank flooring from the Gemcore Yosemite Collection in the color Washburn, which mimics the rich look of walnut hardwood.
This choice perfectly matched the home’s aesthetic, offering a sophisticated, durable, and easy-to-clean alternative that balanced beauty with practicality.
The Challenge: Preparing an Uneven Subfloor
As with any home renovation, there were challenges. The existing wood subfloor in most areas of the house was significantly uneven. Vinyl plank flooring, especially in a tongue-and-groove installation, requires a flat, even surface to ensure long-term durability and a seamless look. We dedicated time and expertise to leveling the subfloor, ensuring the new flooring would perform beautifully over time.
A Complete Transformation
Once the subfloor was prepared, we installed the stunning vinyl plank flooring throughout the home’s main areas, hallways, and step-downs. The warm walnut tones of the Washburn planks provided a sophisticated contrast to the home’s diverse wood trim and added a cohesive, inviting feel to the space.
The Result: A Stylish and Functional Flooring Solution
This Encinitas home is now ready for its next chapter—whether it’s welcoming new tenants or finding its perfect buyer. The vinyl plank flooring not only elevates the design but also provides the durability and easy maintenance that today’s homeowners and renters value.
