While choosing the flooring, there are a few points you must keep in mind
People generally tend to ignore the flooring in their bedrooms, even as they attend to every other detail in the room. This should be carefully chosen to give a complete appearance to the bedroom. The flooring which you are going to buy should not just be attractive, look-wise, but useful too. So, apply your skills to judge the best option for your bedroom.
If your time schedule is very hectic, choose flooring that requires less maintenance and is durable as well. Your budget must also be taken into account. So, first set your budget then decide on the kind of flooring you want.
The prevailing and popular types of bedroom flooring are:
Flooring tiles: This type of flooring gives an elegant look to your bedroom. Its look is versatile and the installation is also easy. The tiles come in a variety of designs and styles, and in different materials like ceramic, vinyl, linoleum, and natural stones. Natural stone tiles are made from granite, marble, slate etc. In the market, one gets a large range of ceramic tiles like glazed, matte finish and porcelain tiles. Both these tile varieties are durable and require less maintenance.
Linoleum flooring: It is also known as natural flooring. The word linoleum is a Latin word and is derived from two words - linum (flax) and oleum (oil). This kind of flooring is the best choice for those who really like to walk barefoot at home. Linoleum flooring provides excellent support to the feet. Nowadays, because of its beautiful designs and colours, it is gaining popularity. It is durable and economical. It also has a water-resistant property and stays good even when put to rough use.
Marble flooring: It gives an elegant and luxurious look to your bedroom. Earlier, it was mined mainly in Italy but these days it is readily available in our country, China, Mexico, and Spain. For keeping marble floor for a longer time, extra care is required. You get marble in two colours - black and white.
These marble comes in tile and slab form. And a combination of both types gives a very stylish and attractive look to your bedroom. Marble is well known for its low heat conduction properties. That's why it does not warm up quickly. Thus, it is one of the most popular choices for a bedroom as it adds a soothing and cooling touch to the bedroom. However, in winters one must use rugs over it to prevent that extra cool touch.
Laminate flooring: Laminate flooring has some great characteristics due to which it is set apart from other hardwood floors. In the market, one can get a number of options in laminate flooring, differing in thickness level. People are opting for laminate floors in their bedrooms as they are stain-free, scratch-resistant, and waterresistant. It is preferable to choose thick flooring, as it is more durable and stable. To make this floor last for a longer time, you can go in for wax treatment to seal the joints. Laminate floor provides a warranty cover for a period ranging from five to 15 years.
Vinyl flooring: As it is affordable and attractive, vinyl flooring is increasingly becoming the choice of a majority of people. You can get a wide variety in vinyl PVC flooring. It comes in different patterns and styles. So, according to your choice, you can buy them for their bedrooms. Vinyl flooring has multiple advantages. It is quick to install, maintenance-free, and easy to clean. It stays in a good condition even when put to rough use.
Wood flooring: This type of flooring gives a warm, natural look to the bedroom. Due to its versatile nature, it goes well with all kind of furnishings. Since wood is delicate, it is important to maintain the floor. You can go for a special wood cleaner which is easily available.
