Are you planning to renovate your new house or maybe you’re looking at spicing up your current house? Did you know that the floor is one of the most important factor that decides the theme and atmosphere of your house? This is why we’re here to talk about the importance of choosing the right flooring!
Since the floor is the key element for home décor, it is important to ask a series of questions while finalizing the design. Some of the most important aspects you need to pay attention to while making a selection are lifestyle, design, location and budget.
The critical thinking for the selection of flooring type is also important because not all materials are suitable for all the rooms. Experts recommend different designs and materials depending upon the foot traffic and temperature levels in the house. For instance, the solid wood flooring is generally not recommended for the bathroom and kitchen areas. This is just because the solid wood material doesn’t suit well to environments with fluctuating temperature and moisture levels. If you install this type of flooring in the kitchen or bathroom, you may experience contracting and expanding issues.
Here is a small guide based on the material type suitability for different rooms:
· Solid wood is generally recommended for bedroom, dining room, living room and hallway
· Laminate is a reliable choice for the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, dining room, living room and hallway as well
· Engineered wood are also suitable for bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, dining room, living room and hallways
· Vinyl flooring is widely preferred for the dining room, living room, bathroom, hallway, bedroom and kitchen
· Carpets can be used on the staircase, hallways, living room and bedroom. They are not recommended for kitchen and bathrooms
· Natural stones are better in the garden, kitchen and bathroom but not for living areas due to temperature issues
· Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles can be used in the bathroom and kitchen areas
Another important thing that you need to pay attention to while choosing the flooring type is your lifestyle. The fact is that if you have a busy home with kids and pets, you may need different flooring material as compared to homes that have a quieter environment with less foot traffic. For areas with high foot traffic, it is better to consider flooring material with enhanced durability.
Other than this, the efforts required for maintenance and cleaning may also play an important role in the selection of the right flooring type. Finally, you have to consider the budget as all flooring options may vary in terms of the price of the material and the cost of installation.
