So you ordered some samples from Hewn Floor, but aren't sure what to do next. You probably already know that your samples can help you better envision how different Stoneform colors will look in your space, but you may be missing out on the full potential of your samples if you're not taking your sample through these steps.
Different lighting conditions
Lighting can dramatically affect how colors look in your space, and your flooring is no different. To get the best idea for how a color from one of our collections will look in your space, put your sample in spaces with different lighting conditions. A space with lots of natural light will make flooring look quite different compared to flooring in a space with warm or cool overhead lights as the main light source. Examine your sample at different times of day in the space where you're looking to install flooring.
Your own durability testing
If you're not beating your sample up, you're not taking advantage of all a sample can offer. Take your sample through daily life by dropping things on it, having pets walk on it, scraping chairs over it, etc. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the durability of our floors.
Schedule a free design consultation
Choosing flooring for your home can be overwhelming and we want to relieve some of the anxiety around picking the perfect color. If you're still stumped on what color to go with after receiving your samples, make sure to schedule a free design consultation with our in-house designer, Caitlin.
Going with your gut
If after going through all these steps with your sample you're still feeling stuck moving forward, take a break from looking at your samples, and sleep on it. Come back later with fresh eyes and pay attention to your gut reaction. Chances are, you will be drawn to one color more than others. Trust yourself to make the right decision for your space.
Regardless of where you're at in the process of choosing new flooring, we're here to help every step of the way.
