If you're struggling to decide on the perfect floor color for your home even after receiving your 12" samples, you may find it helpful to order a full plank sample in your favorite colors. Here's why:
Seeing the bigger picture
A full plank sample is an inexpensive way to see not only how large each plank will be, but better visualize the color variation and character within a Stoneform color. Our 12" cut samples are a great way to narrow down your options, but full plank samples help you see the big picture. You could say a 12" sample is like a paint swatch, while a full plank sample is like purchasing a small sample pot of paint. Each is a great tool in the journey towards choosing your favorite color, but one will help you visualize more than the other.
Visualizing scale
Ordering a full plank flooring sample also helps you understand scale and proportion within your space. Seeing the full width and length of a plank makes it easier to imagine how your new floors will feel in an open living room or a smaller bedroom. You'll get a clearer sense of how the boards line up, how much movement or pattern you'll see across a floor, and how the design reads from different angles and lighting.
More comprehensive testing
Another major advantage of a full plank Stoneform sample is how accurately it shows color in context. A full plank allows you to test how your flooring looks next to your wall paint, cabinetry, or fabrics - all under your own lighting. Natural light, shadows, and artificial lighting can dramatically change the tone of a floor, so seeing a full piece in your home is the most reliable way to decide with confidence.
You'll also experience the texture and surface feel that makes Stoneform floors special. Holding a full plank lets you appreciate the authentic wood-like detail, and the durability you can expect once it's installed. Many customers find that a full plank helps them confirm not just the color they love, but that the flooring itself feels right underfoot.
In the words of a recent full plank sample customer: "Being able to order a full size plank was honestly the BEST THING EVER!! Not only does it help with visualization but we got 2 full plank samples and put them on the floor to walk on & make sure we like the texture as well. 10/10 recommend."
