One of the many reasons people choose Vero Beach is its reasonable living costs. With a median home price of $393,557, you can save money while enjoying the beaches and shopping malls. Now, when it comes to floor remodelings, you are expected to end up with LVP or engineered hardwood flooring leftovers. But what can you do with that?
The first thing anybody would think of is to let the contractors dispose of the leftovers. However, while hardwood can be recycled, LVP flooring would end up in a wastepile since its components are 100% synthetic.
Work with a remodeling contractor with solid experience in diverse carpentry and home improvement jobs. Their knowledge and skills can help you use the leftover flooring as wall accents or replace cabinet doors.
4 ideas to use leftover engineered hardwood and LVP flooring
3 uses for engineered wood
Use engineered wood for your living room accent wall
If you would like to improve your living space, an accent wall from some leftover engineered hardwood flooring can enhance its curb appeal.
The living room is usually the first impression you get of a house, and as a homeowner, anyone would feel proud to leave their guests astonished once they enter. A hardwood accent wall would create a warm, texture-rich focal point in your home.
Create an inlaid design from leftover engineered hardwood flooring
You can create a parquet-like design for your living spaces using your different hardwood flooring types. Depending on how much light enters the room, you may have chosen a darker or lighter color for your flooring, but parquet designs can be made from any color or texture.
The natural grain and patterns of engineered hardwood floors can add texture to the design and delineate any spaces without making them seem more minor.
Hardwood coasters
If you have spare engineered planks after your home improvement project, making coasters out of them can be a good idea. They are easy to do, as all that is required is cutting the engineered wood into squares or circles, and they can help you if your quiet family reunion becomes a family party.
3 uses for leftover LVP flooring
Use leftover vinyl as backsplash
Since LVP is one of the most water-resistant flooring types, you may want to utilize your vinyl flooring leftovers to cover the areas behind your kitchen and bathroom sinks to prevent water damage to your walls.
Doghouse or birdhouse roofs
If you want to extend the lifespan of your doghouse, which is mostly made from plywood, you can use the leftovers from your vinyl flooring job.
Besides being an excellent flooring for pets, vinyl planks can be glued to the roof to protect doghouses from heavy rain.
Get a rustic look on a budget
LVP can help you get a rustic look on your cabinets, kitchen islands, or bar-in homes without spending more money. To enhance your wood furniture with leftover vinyl planks, all you need to do is cover them with the flooring.
However, if crafting is not your thing, a professional contractor can help you upgrade your furniture safely and efficiently.
