How to Design a Highly Functional and Stylish Home
Designing a home that balances functionality and style isn’t just about choosing the right furniture or paint color—it’s about creating a space that reflects your lifestyle while standing the test of time. At TERA, we believe that thoughtful design starts from the ground up, and our floors are crafted with that philosophy in mind. Whether you’re starting fresh or renovating a well-loved space, here’s how to bring harmony, durability, and elevated aesthetics into your home.
1. Start with Intention
A highly functional home begins with a clear vision. Ask yourself: How do you live in your space? What are your daily routines? A thoughtfully designed home accommodates your lifestyle seamlessly—whether you’re hosting family dinners, managing remote work, or simply enjoying a quiet evening in. Choosing flooring that supports this functionality is essential. TERA floors are built to handle it all, with a 100% waterproof SPC core, 20mil wear layer, and an integrated acoustic pad to keep your home as quiet as it is beautiful.
2. Blend Beauty with Durability
A stylish home should never come at the expense of performance. TERA’s luxury vinyl floors offer the timeless appeal of natural wood with the resilience of modern innovation. With a rigid 6mm SPC core and a commercial-grade wear layer, TERA floors are ready for real life—resistant to scratches, spills, and wear from daily use. And with elegant color options like Amberwood, Driftwood, and Seacliff Oak, you don’t have to compromise between aesthetics and endurance.
3. Design Cohesively
Style is about cohesion. Choose materials, textures, and tones that flow naturally from room to room. Our Canvas Collection was curated to give you versatile options that elevate any space—whether your look is warm and rustic or clean and minimal. From the rich red tones of Natural Cherry to the airy elegance of Seacliff Oak, each plank is a tool in your design palette.
4. Prioritize Thoughtful Installation
Even the best designs fall flat without careful execution. That’s why we partner with local design experts and certified installation craftsmen to ensure every floor is laid with precision and care. From initial concept to final installation, our experts are here to help you get the most from your TERA investment. Contact us to find a professional near you.
5. Make Sustainable Choices
A truly functional home is one that’s healthy for you and the planet. TERA floors feature ultra-low VOC emissions, contributing to cleaner indoor air and peace of mind. We obsess over every detail—from responsible material sourcing to our Unilin locking system, which provides a secure, easy installation without sacrificing durability.
Final Thoughts
A functional and stylish home isn’t about following trends—it’s about intentional design, smart material choices, and quality craftsmanship. At TERA, we’re here to help you build a space that feels as good as it looks. Every detail considered—for the home you’ve imagined.
