The Not-So-Cavey Man Cave - Today's Hot Trends Is Perfect Match For Quick-Step Flooring
Dallas, TX – December 1, 2014 – Quick-Step’s celebrity designer Erinn Valencich is loving the current design trend of The Not-So-Cavey Man Cave and thinks it is a perfect match for Quick-Step flooring. During Quick-Step’s most recent “Long Live Style” design seminar, Valencich addressed today’s transitioning man cave and shared why she thinks Quick-Step’s high quality laminate planks are the perfect foundation for this ever-so-important space.
“The man cave is becoming less man-cavey,” Erinn Valencich, interior designer, contestant on NBC’s American Dream Builders, and Quick-Step designer partner told her audience. “The man cave has evolved into a sophisticated space with a variety of decors … and it’s not necessarily off-limits to the rest of the family any more. We are seeing the man cave coming out of the basement and turning into a multi-purpose room … with the man of the house still putting his unique spin on it.”
“In some cases the man cave is becoming a game room,” added Valencich. “Another trend is that the man cave is coming out into the open and merging with the den. However it happens, today’s transformation of man caves into multipurpose rooms can help bring the family together, while still giving the man of the house a super- comfortable room where he can unwind, put his feet up, or watch some football.”
“Quick-Step flooring is the perfect foundation for the new man cave … Tough and low-maintenance enough to accommodate the traditional man cave activities, yet stylish enough to make the room a very attractive addition to the home,” said Valencich. “With Quick-Step, you can really ‘have it all’ for this type of a room — beauty that is virtually maintenance free, and style that can stand up to activity … including the impromptu indoor football game that has been known to take place in every home’s man cave now and then!”
“Most people want this new multi-purpose room to be cozy and comfortable, so the warmth and charm of hardwood is an ideal design direction for the floor,” said Valencich. “With Quick-Step, you get the visuals and texture of a hardwood floor, with the durability and low maintenance of laminate — perfect for today’s Not-So-Cavey Man Cave!”
