Ask the Builder: Luxury Vinyl Plank Plus Area Rug Equals a Winning Combination
This is a new luxury vinyl plank floor that looks like travertine stone. The area rug adds a delightful splash of color and helps to absorb sound. Don’t be afraid to introduce bold colors or patterns. Tim Carter/Tribune Content Agency

Several months ago I shared a story about my first experience with luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. I installed the LVP in a basement room that experienced water damage caused by a leaking water pipe. The product was affordable, it was easy to install, and after six months it looks as good as the day it was put down.

My son saw the floor and was amazed. He bought a new home two years ago. For some odd reason, the builder installed wall-to-wall carpeting in a sunroom at the rear of the house. An exterior door leading to the backyard is in this room. Keeping the carpeting clean had become a constant battle.
