Flooring & Rugs
Every good room starts at the floor
Hardwood, luxury vinyl, carpet and more than 900 area rugs — picked out with designers who work for you, not on commission.
Floors take more punishment than anything else in a Michigan house. Snowy boots in January, sandy feet in July, dogs year-round. So we carry flooring built for real life: DuChateau European oak, Mohawk luxury vinyl that shrugs off water, and carpet from Fabrica, Karastan and Stanton that stays soft long after the new wears off. You can walk all of it, in person, at our Ann Arbor and Plymouth showrooms.
Here’s the part that matters most: our designers don’t work on commission. They’ll tell you when the mid-priced carpet will outlast the expensive one, and when wide-plank European oak is worth the stretch. Three generations of Barrons have kept it that way because honest advice is what’s carried this family business since 1952, and our Best Price Promise means straight answers don’t cost extra.
Hardwood and Luxury Vinyl
DuChateau’s wide-plank European oak has the grain and matte finish you notice every time afternoon light crosses the room, and it settles right into the older homes around Ann Arbor. Where moisture is the enemy, Mohawk luxury vinyl gives you the look of wood without the worry: kitchens, mudrooms, basements, anywhere winter follows you inside.
Carpet, From Deep Plush to Patterned Wool
Fabrica makes some of the softest carpet money can buy, the kind you feel through your socks on a cold morning. Stanton and Unique Carpets specialize in patterned wool blends that turn a staircase or study into the best-dressed spot in the house, and Karastan covers the classics.
More Than 900 Rugs to Select From
Our rug selection runs deep: more than 900 from Karastan, Nourison and Loloi, so you can judge the real thing instead of a photo. If nothing on the rack is quite right, we’ll custom-bind a rug from any carpet we carry, cut to the exact size your room calls for — odd layouts, wide hallways and stair runners included.

FAQ
Questions, answered
It depends on the material and the room: carpet is generally the most affordable, hardwood the biggest investment, with luxury vinyl in between. Bring your rough dimensions to either showroom and a designer will price options at a few different levels. Our Best Price Promise applies to every quote.
