The Fab Floor – Chicago Home Improvement Magazine
Check out this month’s feature article in Chicago Home Improvement, “The Fab Floor.”
I was asked by author Kathy Kidwell, to contribute my take on what makes flooring interesting and insight into flooring trends.
I was quoted by Kidwell stating, “A well-designed floor should work cohesively with the room, incorporating the floor finish as another plane to work with,” says Elizabeth Marusin, designer with the Naperville-based Asparagus Interiors Inc. “Color, texture and pattern all play into how the floor grounds a space. A well-designed room strikes a balance between the vertical plane and the floor, making the room work as a whole.”
The article posted below can also be found in hard copy at local design stores throughout Chicago in February.
