Showroom & Locations

Flooring showroom and sample appointments.

Samples decide more flooring projects than spec sheets do. Here's where to see them, what to bring along and how to judge them once they're in your own rooms.

What to Bring to a Flooring Appointment

Tick things off as you pack. The more of the room you bring, the shorter the list of samples gets.

0 of 8 ready

Photos of every roomWide shots from the doorway and close-ups where the floor meets stairs, fireplaces and other floors. Take some in daylight and some at night.
Rough measurementsLength and width of each room, plus closets and hallways. A quick sketch with doorways marked beats a single square-foot total.
Cabinet, trim and paint samplesA spare cabinet door, an offcut of baseboard or a paint chip. Flooring gets judged against what's staying.
Countertop or tile offcutsIf the stone or tile is already chosen, bring a piece. Undertones clash in ways a photo hides.
An honest account of pets and kidsLarge dogs, cats that sprint, toddlers on ride-on toys. This changes which finish, wear layer or AC rating is worth paying for.
What's under the floor nowSlab, plywood or OSB, radiant heat, a basement below. If you're not sure, a photo under a floor register or inside a closet helps.
How the rooms get usedWet boots at the door, rolling office chairs, a piano. Loads and moisture narrow the options quickly.
Your timeline and budget rangeNot so anyone can upsell, but so the options on the table are realistic, including any prep the subfloor may need.

How to Judge Flooring Samples in Your Own Light

Showroom lighting is designed to flatter. Your home's isn't. Put samples on the floor, not on a table, and look at them standing up from five or six feet away, because that's how you'll see the floor for the next fifteen years.

Move them between rooms. Check them first thing in the morning and again after dark with your own fixtures on. Lay them beside the things that aren't changing: the cabinets, the stair treads, the floor in the next room. If a sample only works in one light, it doesn't work.

Do I need an appointment to see flooring samples?

How visits work at Dream Home Floors is still being confirmed on this page. In the meantime, request an estimate, list the materials you'd like to see and ask how samples can be viewed.

How many samples should I compare at once?

Three to five. More than that and the differences blur; fewer and you aren't really comparing. Narrow by category first, using pages like hardwood flooring and luxury vinyl flooring, then by color.

Why do samples look different at home than in a showroom?

Light, mostly. Showrooms use bright, even lighting, while your rooms mix daylight from one direction with warm bulbs at night. Sample size, viewing distance and the colors around it change the read too.

Should my designer or builder come to the appointment?

If one is involved, yes. Designers catch undertone conflicts early, and builders know the subfloor and the height each transition has to meet.
