Designing Around Drop Ceiling

[Matt Schelberg]

I am trying select a flooring option in a working-class rental unit with a drop ceiling. Currently there is wall-to-wall carpet that needs to be removed. One option is to replace it with laminate floors, but would this clash with the not-so-nice ceiling? I want to avoid selecting an option that forces me to upgrade other parts of the house.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Matt

For a working class rental I would say that the odds of a renter coming in and saying "I can't believe he put in laminate but didn't upgrade that ceiling! I can't live with that" are pretty slim ;)

Maybe a nicer floor would draw they eye so the ceiling doesn't stand out so much, anyway.
