 | Wood-look porcelain tile is versatile, durable and good-looking. It can mimic wood flooring or be added as an accent to a larger-scale porcelain design to create a diamond effect. We often install under-floor heating that expands ease of use. —Laura Hildebrandt, IFDA, NKBA,, Interiors by LH, LLC |
 | I cannot get enough of painted floors. They are a great way to create a super-customizable look with high impact. —Laura Fox, Laura Fox Interior Design, LLC |
 | Natural jute is a beautiful option for area rugs and wall-to-wall carpet—eco-friendly, easy to clean and durable even in high-traffic areas. When using it as an area rug or runner, consider adding a wide leather border to give it a tailored, high-end look. —Barbara Hawthorn, Barbara Hawthorn Interiors, Ltd. Photo by: Kenneth M.

 | We recently renovated an Alexandria condo. Our client was drawn to the warmth of clear, French white-oak flooring by the Austrian company Mafi as a backdrop for an ultra-modern kitchen. A chemical-free, natural, oiled wood floor acts as a sponge to draw impurities out of the air. —Jason Claire & Sarita Simpson, Interior Matter |
