Mannington Makeovers: Our Favorite Home Transformations

  |   By  |  0 Comments

With the start of every new year comes the goals and aspirations we have set for the months to come. In the spirit of change and transformation, we’re looking at some of our favorite home makeovers. There’s nothing like a good before and after that’ll inspire you to begin your own home renovation, no matter how big or small. See how Mannington floors were incorporated into these amazing makeovers!

 

Entering a new decade must’ve encouraged this family to say goodbye to their 1950s styled bathroom. Bright white subway tiles and our warm ADURA®MaxAPEX Napa vinyl plank floors replaced the pink tiles covering this bathroom from floor to (almost) ceiling resulting in a stunning update.

This homeowner wanted something modern, elegant, inexpensive, and unique to update her space. That’s why she chose our REVIVE® Carrara luxury vinyl sheet flooring! Its marble pattern gives a classic, luxurious and bright feel to the kitchen.

White cabinetry and our Provence hardwood flooring helped brighten up this dark and outdated kitchen. To make the space even more modern, this homeowner chose black fixtures and appliances.

Out with the old – this 70s-inspired Airstream received a makeover worthy of this decade. Its old, dark wooden elements were swapped with bright white replacements. Our Palace Chevron Restoration Collection® laminate flooring makes the small space seem longer and more open.

Chrome peninsula legs, black stools and our gorgeous REVIVE® luxury vinyl sheet flooring in Filigree took this kitchen from drab to fab. The black stools and wall décor provide a nice contrast to the white walls and cabinets.

Style Spotlight: Napa

  |   By  |  0 Comments

As one of the world’s most fabulous destinations for wine and food, Napa Valley encompasses charm and beauty. For those looking to incorporate these elements from wine country into their home, our Napa ADURA®MaxAPEX vinyl planks are the perfect addition.

Inspiration

 

Beautifully aged just like a fine wine, Napa is a character oak inspired by the tannin-stained wine barrels of Napa Valley. Like winemakers, we were drawn to oak because of its character. Napa comes in four colors, Barrel, Dry Cork, Tannin and Spirit, which each possess a rich under-glow. The 8″ x 72″ planks combine cerused, wire-brushed graining with a textured surface embellished with deep knots, mineral streaks, and painted edges.

Clockwise from top left: Barrel, Dry Cork, Tannin and Spirit

Décor Styles

 

Sophisticated and charming, Napa flooring enhances homes styled in Traditional, Nordic/Scandinavian and Bohemian themes. Bohemian-styled homes are full of worldly décor elements collected along one’s travels. That’s why Napa floors (inspired by one of the most popular travel destinations) are a great addition!

 

Color Palette Recommendations

 

The neutral tones of Napa work flawlessly with a charcoal, white, beige, and grey color palette.

 

Styling Tips

 

Since Napa is such an versatile floor, it’s a great opportunity to blend several décor styles with it. Combine Bohemian patterns, artwork, and woven pieces with the clean lines of Nordic/Scandinavian furniture and a neutral color palette for a cozy yet stylish space.

Holiday Décor Inspiration

  |   By  |  0 Comments

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Especially when it comes to decorating. There is so much holiday décor to take advantage of from garland to wreaths to strings of lights and more. The holidays are a great time to put your seasonal décor on display and give your home a touch of festive cheer –  take inspiration from Mannington customers below!

An age-old holiday debate is whether you should put up an artificial Christmas tree or a real one. This homeowner chose a fake tree, and it works in her favor! The faux snowcapped appearance of the Christmas tree keeps up with the brightness of the rest of the room and creates a delicate balance throughout the space. Instead of a traditional tree stand, they’ve used a wicker basket which complements the hardwood floors.

You don’t need to cover your home in red and green to make it feel like the holidays. In this rustic house, the homeowner chose to stick to a neutral color palette. The Restoration Collection® Laminate in Fair Haven floors blend perfectly with the palettes, bench, and accent wall. The holiday décor is kept simple with a vintage mistletoe print and tree draped with lights and holiday printed throw pillows.

Let your accessories do the talking. Here, the homeowner hung up a few stockings that complement the ADURA®Max Dockside flooring as well as the furniture. Smaller Christmas trees are scattered throughout the space. On the floor, a miniature evergreen roped with string lights sits in a metal bucket – this is an excellent option for those who don’t have space for a full Christmas tree but want to incorporate the symbol in some way.

Stray from the traditional red and green this holiday season and incorporate color in a fresh, fun way! Thanks to their Hardwood Pacaya Mesquite floors in Sediment and the gray furniture and fireplace, this homeowner was able to use pinks and blues in their seasonal décor. Our favorite part? The adorable throw pillow that perfectly matches the Christmas tree display along the wall.

A beautifully decorated tree, festive table and mantle decor and decorative pillows and throws brings Christmas spirit and coziness to this living room. Another thing we love?

Mannington Makeovers: Cameron Shepherd

  |   By  |  0 Comments

In between ski trips, scuba diving, and tattoo collecting, musician-turned-graphic designer Cameron Shepherd decided to add another hobby to his list: interior design.

When he found a ski condo in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., it was a complete time capsule. He immediately knew that he wanted the 1960s condo to go under a total renovation. As a graphic designer, Cameron was constantly mocking up spaces using Photoshop and Illustrator. “I made mood boards for the renovation and maintained the budget through a meticulous Google Doc spreadsheet,” he says.

All of that preparation and a lot of hard work transformed the home from dark and outdated to warm and inviting. As for the style Cameron was aiming for, he says: “I love all things Mid Century, but I don’t want my house to look like a showroom. I want it to feel lived in and approachable.”

For flooring, low maintenance was the name of the game. The flooring needed to look beautiful, go down easily and work throughout the entirety of the home due to its layout. That’s why ADURA®Max vinyl plank in Aspen Lodge was the right choice. “We wanted something that would feel good underfoot but would also work with area rugs. Plus, it had to be durable enough to stand up to ski boots and our two dogs and impervious to melting snow and general messes,” says Cameron.

Cameron mixed new and vintage pieces, furnishing the place from scratch. A lot of matte black metal was used to give the space a modern feel, and leather, wood, and other natural textiles to soften the space.

To warm up the neutral walls in the common spaces, plush area rugs, fur throws and large, eclectic wall art were used. Cameron also made a custom coffee table out of a slice of Jeffrey Pine from a local lumber yard.

With all the heavy foot traffic, Cameron says his Mannington floors are holding up beautifully. “We’re happy with our choice. Ease of installation, durability, general look, and feel – these floors are fabulous, and we get compliments on them regularly.”

For others considering a home renovation, Cameron advises just to do it. “Nothing beats experience. That being said, know your limits and when to call in the professionals. Plumbers and electricians are your friends, not foes. Also, get to know local permitting laws before you tear into walls or plan any changes beyond the cosmetic. And when it comes to flooring, aesthetic, function, and installation are key.”

Choosing gold facets and hardware for your home adds warmth, sophistication and a touch of luxury. Find trend inspiration featured in various kitchens and bathrooms below!

Adding a Traditional twist to this Modern bathroom is the gold faucet and drawer handles which tie in perfectly with this bathroom’s mirror and light fixtures. Another element we love? The grey ADURA®Max vinyl plank flooring in Cape May (Color: Seagull) which is the perfect complement.

When it comes to accessorizing for fall, there are plenty of floral arrangements to choose from. In the first photo, we see warm shades of yellow and orange leaves accented with autumnal sprigs set in a gold vase. This arrangement contrasts nicely with the neutral backdrop and furnishings in this room. In the next photo, the arrangement’s color palette shifts to the more vibrant hues found in nature. Green eucalyptus leaves are entwined with cotton twigs to create an impressive floral arrangement. Finally, we see a simple arrangement of fall leaves in a range of hues. Each of these is beautiful and can work almost anywhere throughout your home!

Sometimes it’s the subtle details that make all the difference. The black bats placed on the stove’s range look like they belong there because they complement the rest of the kitchen’s decor flawlessly. The flooring is a perfect fit, as well! Seen here in Sediment, this homeowner uses our Pacaya Mesquite, an antiqued hardwood that captures the natural rustic beauty of mesquite. As the strongest and most durable hardwood known to man, mesquite is the perfect flooring option for the kitchen.

Style Spotlight: Anchorage

  |   By  |  0 Comments

With the revitalization of the farmhouse trend, shiplap has become a popular choice for the interior. For those wanting a unique way to incorporate it in their home design, our new luxury vinyl sheet floor Anchorage is the perfect find.

Flooring Details: Anchorage, Color: Anchor 

Inspiration

We wanted to embrace the shiplap trend and create flooring that shows dynamic texture and rustic appeal. Anchorage is available in two colors, Anchor and Marina, and has a 6″ x 48″ plank format which features time-weathered wood that has visually endured harsh climates. Each multi length plank mimics weathered shiplap containing an array of imperfections, paint degradation and bold color which helps bring the trend to life.

Décor Styles

The weathered design and natural coloring of Anchorage make it the perfect flooring for homes styled in a Coastal or Farmhouse theme. 

 

Color Palette Recommendations

For a cohesive color palette, use light and dark neutrals like ivory, tan, light gray, camel and charcoal coloring in your furniture, accent pieces, and décor. Pairing these colors with Anchorage provides a clean, crisp look throughout your home. If you want to add a pop of color, try sage green or a deep blue with grey undertones.

 

Styling Tips

Anchorage is the perfect complement to create a modern Coastal style. Break from kitschy nautical elements and use contemporary décor that’s light and airy. Pair white or tan walls and furniture with woven/rattan accent pieces like light fixtures, table mats and baskets and bring in a pop of color like sage green through art and plants. When it comes to decorating with Anchorage, choose simple elements and let the floors be the talking point of your home.

When we talked to Jennifer Toth, creator of the Instagram @lilredranch and Mannington super fan, she said that her pets played a huge factor in choosing flooring for her home. She says, “We chose Mannington ADURA®Max flooring primarily due to having two 100lb chocolate labradoodles! When we researched the different products that we could use for flooring we found that this Mannington product stood up better than any other on the market. Not only for the high traffic but also for spill, etc… It is so easy to maintain and also looks beautiful in every room of our home.”

Style Spotlight: Station Pine

  |   By  |  0 Comments

One of the latest additions to our laminate Restoration Collection® is Station Pine. This pattern is a multi-width wood visual in an 8” plank format with ten individual plank designs and comes in three on-trend colors: Gravel, Sand and Rust. Learn more below about Station Pine, an incredibly realistic wood look that will add instant style and charm to any room.

 

Pine Laminate Wood Flooring
Flooring Details: Station Pine, Color: Sand

Inspiration

Just as reclaimed barn wood has inspired many home interior designers, so have reclaimed railway ties. There’s something nostalgic about an old railway station that makes homeowners want to embody those same types of feelings in their homes. When I designed Station Pine, I wanted the weathered and worn splits, knots and cracks to pay homage to the architectural beauty and romance of railway stations past.

 

Different Colored Pine Laminate Wood Flooring
Station Pine Colors: GravelSand and Rust (pictured left to right)

 

Décor Styles

Due to its warm and eclectic feel, Station Pine floors look amazing in homes that have a Bohemian or Farmhouse style. Personally, I think Station Pine is a no-brainer in Farmhouse styled homes.

 

Color Palette Recommendations

When I think about color combinations for Station Pine, I am drawn back to the railway inspiration and steel trains. That’s why I would suggest pairing these floors with charcoal, gray, white and tan accents and furniture.


Styling Tips

 

When it comes to Farmhouse décor, don’t be afraid to mix accents from different home styles! In my trend board below, I stayed traditional with the light fixture, exposed beams and wood shelving—which create a perfect balance with Station Pine flooring. I used modern kitchen hardware, dishware and gray textured walls to add a contemporary spin on the traditional Farmhouse style. Remember, home decorating in 2019 is all about blending trends!

Ultimate Guide to Vinyl Sheet

  |   By  |  0 Comments

As the leader in vinyl flooring, Mannington has put together a guide that details everything you need to know about vinyl sheet flooring.

What is Vinyl Sheet?

Vinyl sheet comes in a single roll that are 6-12 feet wide. This limits the number of seams seen after install. It is completely impermeable to water and is similar to linoleum. Vinyl sheet can be made to look just like wood, stone, and slate, or take on its own unique patterns.

Ivory and Gold Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Flooring Details: Carrara Vinyl Sheet, Color:Ivory

Mannington offers two types of Vinyl Sheet:

  • Luxury Vinyl Sheet. Luxury vinyl sheet, also referred to as LVS, provides a broad range of natural designs, from realistic wood grains to elegant stones and rustic slates. Each pattern is enhanced with Mannington’s new, exclusive NatureForm® 4G technology for colors that are incredibly crisp and rich; and each is available in your choice of three performance levels: Platinum, Gold, and Silver and all are made in the U.S.
  • Resilient Flooring. Resilient flooring, also known as ‘vinyl’ or ‘felt-backed vinyl’, has been around for decades and is still one of the most popular types of flooring around.It’s made using a printing process known as ‘rotogravure’, which prints a pattern on the flooring substrate via an engraved cylinder. Mannington resilient flooring uses ultra-low VOC, water-based inks and we make all of our vinyl products right here in the U.S.

Benefits of Vinyl Sheet Floors

In addition to their affordability, vinyl sheet floors offer a variety of other benefits and features, including:

  • Realistic visuals. Vinyl sheet can be designed to look like other more expensive flooring options. From encaustic tile to marble, stone, wood and slate, your options for choices are virtually limitless.
Wood Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Flooring Details: Anchorage Vinyl Sheet, Color: Anchor
  • Easy to clean & maintain. As with any type of flooring, vinyl sheet requires the occasional cleaning but overall it’s very easy to clean & maintain.

 

  • Extremely durable. Vinyl sheet is often compared to linoleum flooring, but it is stronger and longer-lasting. It doesn’t scratch or stain easily, which makes it kid and pet-friendly.
  • Ample variety. If you’re looking for flooring that’s going to help your home stand out from the others in your neighborhood, vinyl sheet is your answer. Because vinyl sheet is available in a wide variety of realistic styles like unique designs, wood, stone, and slate, it’s easy to create a floor that’s uniquely yours.
  • Waterproof. Our vinyl sheet can be used anywhere, but they’re especially ideal for rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and mudrooms.
  • Not permanent and expertly laid out for you. Vinyl sheet is especially great for homeowners who like to change up their décor style frequently as it’s not permanent. Bonus: when our in-house styling team creates our vinyl sheet they expertly layout the design so there’s no guesswork during installation.
  • Blue and White Tile Vinyl Sheet Flooring
    Flooring Details: Morocco Vinyl Sheet, Color: Talcum
  • Budget friendly. Get the style you love for a lower price point than other flooring categories.
  • *Made in the USA. Mannington vinyl sheet floors are proudly made in the USA.
  • *FloorScore® Certified. All Mannington floors are independently tested and meet stringent indoor air quality standards and low VOCs.

*When looking for vinyl sheet floors, be sure to do your research especially around these topics. Mannington offers floors with these attributes, but not every flooring manufacturer does.

Cleaning Vinyl Sheet

Vinyl is one of the easiest floors to clean and maintain. Here’s how:  

  1. Wipe spills up immediately. Vinyl is a great flooring option for moisture-prone rooms, but it shouldn’t be in contact with moisture for that long. If something spills or puddles on your vinyl, wipe it up right away to prevent staining.
  2. Weekly cleanings are perfect. Use a dry duster or vacuum to remove any dust and loose debris from your vinyl surface. Then, using a wet mop and gentle cleaning solution designed for vinyl floors, remove any stuck-on debris. If you prefer to use a more natural cleaner, combine vinegar with water and use that instead. To fight tougher stains, like those caused by fruit juice, ketchup, or wine, a paste of baking soda and water will remove the appearance of those stains. For tougher stains caused by ink or crayons, use rubbing alcohol and a soft-bristle brush to gently lift the marks.
  3. Additional tips. Sweep your floor regularly. When mopping, only use polish or “mop and shine” products if you wish to make the floor shiny as vinyl sheet floors have a low gloss.

Other Care and Maintenance Tips:

There are few easy ways to protect your Vinyl Sheet flooring:

  • Use a doormat outside your home’s entrances
  • Close your curtains and blinds when sunlight can directly hit the floor
  • Support furniture with flooring protectors
  • Use runways to protect floors when moving furniture or heavy objects

Misconceptions About Vinyl Flooring

As one of the most affordable options on the flooring market, vinyl sometimes gets a bad reputation. Below, Mannington clears up some of the most common myths associated with vinyl floors:  

  • Vinyl is dated and/or ugly. Vinyl sheet floors aren’t like their 70’s ancestors! Today’s vinyl flooring comes in a wide variety of options. You can even find vinyl flooring that mimics the appearance of hardwood or tile.
  • Vinyl is flimsy and cheap. Like any other type of flooring, not all vinyl sheet is created equal. There are some bargain friendly brands that won’t stand the test of time, but all the vinyl that Mannington offers is extremely durable and resistant to stains, moisture, scratches, and general wear and tear.
  • Vinyl will eventually lose its design. Many homeowners think that vinyl sheet flooring comes with a risk of walk-off, which is the idea that after years of use, the design wears off the vinyl. Today’s vinyl is made with a protective top coat that helps keep the printed image of the design intact.

Installing Vinyl Sheet

Vinyl sheet installation methods simplify the process and let installers match the installation technique to the jobsite conditions. Jobsite conditions to consider are:

  • Temperature
  • Structure
  • Type of subfloor
  • Moisture levels
  • Existing floor coverings

Vinyl sheet can be installed using methods like permanent bond, releasable bond or loose lay. We recommend having vinyl sheet floors professionally installed but if you plan to install the flooring yourself, be sure to seek luxury vinyl sheet or resilient installation instructions from the flooring manufacturer.
