Transforming Spaces: From 1980s Tile to Modern Hardwood Flooring

A Stunning Home Remodel by Liberty Home Remodeling WA

When it comes to home remodeling, few transformations are as striking as updating old flooring. Recently, Liberty Home Remodeling WA took on an ambitious project that turned a dated 1980s home into a modern masterpiece. This blog post will take you through the process of transforming tile floors from the 1980s into sleek, modern hardwood flooring. We also raised a sunken living room floor, applied fresh paint, installed new baseboards, and ultimately increased the home’s value. Here’s how we did it.

Out with the Old: Removing 1980s Tile

The first step in our remodeling journey was to remove the old tile floors, a staple of 1980s home design. While durable, these tiles had seen better days and no longer suited the homeowner's modern aesthetic vision. Our team carefully removed the existing tiles, preparing the subfloor for a fresh, new look.

Raising the Sunken Living Room

One of the unique challenges of this project was raising a sunken living room to make it level with the rest of the home. Sunken living rooms were a popular design trend in the 1980s, but they can present safety issues and limit furniture arrangement options. By raising the floor, we created a seamless flow throughout the living space, enhancing both safety and aesthetic appeal.

Installing Modern Hardwood Flooring

With the old tile removed and the living room floor raised, it was time to install the new hardwood flooring. The homeowners chose a rich, medium-toned wood that adds warmth and sophistication to the space. Hardwood flooring is not only visually appealing but also adds significant value to a home. Our expert installers ensured that each plank was laid with precision, resulting in a flawless finish.

Fresh Paint and New Baseboards

No remodel is complete without attention to the walls and trim. We applied fresh paint to the walls and ceilings, opting for a neutral palette that complements the new flooring. To add a modern touch, we installed 5-inch baseboards throughout the home. These baseboards provide a clean, finished look that ties the entire design together.

A New House Design

The combined effect of these updates was nothing short of transformative. The home now boasts a cohesive, modern design that aligns with current trends while offering timeless appeal. The raised living room floor not only enhances safety but also allows for more versatile use of the space. The new hardwood flooring adds a touch of elegance and significantly boosts the home’s market value.

Increasing Home Value

One of the most gratifying aspects of this project was knowing that the remodel significantly increased the home's value. Hardwood flooring, fresh paint, and modern baseboards are highly desirable features that attract potential buyers. The investment in quality materials and skilled labor paid off, resulting in a home that is both beautiful and valuable.
