Far too often the flooring in our homes is an afterthought. But the floor is there when we are hosting a birthday dinner in the dining room, baking cookies in the kitchen or laying on the living room floor as the family gathers for the annual holiday movies. Choosing the right flooring is important, as you will need flooring that is durable, yet comfortable, for all rooms in your house, for all occasions. The flooring you select is the foundation of any space, as it will take up the most usable surface area in any room. When selecting new flooring it is important to consider a few different things. Use this guide to help you select the right flooring, whether that is hardwood, carpet, tile or otherwise, for any room in your home.
Personal Style
Understanding your personal style will help you select a flooring that is going to match your decor and your tastes. While your style may vary depending on the room in question, it?s still up to you to choose something you like. Do you enjoy soft carpet in the den, or is a rich hardwood more to your liking? Is laminate flooring in the kitchen going to do the trick, or is natural stone tile more up your alley? Think about colors, patterns and design as you select flooring.
Lifestyle
How you use each room is going to play a factor into the flooring selection you make. Certain types of flooring have benefits that others don?t, and vice versa of course. For example, hard tile in the kitchen can be extremely elegant, but if you spend a lot of time baking and cooking, a laminate with a cushion under it may be much more comfortable. Whereas tile in the bathroom is going to stand up to the puddles left by the kids much better than hardwood. The floors you select need to put up with everything you throw at them, sometimes literally.
Budget
Of course it is important to know and stick to your budget. Sometimes it is nice to aim low and then when you find you have excess money available for your flooring choices, you can bump up to the next level. It is smart to work with a flooring store to calculate the total cost of any particular flooring for a room, as they can include the delivery, installation, underlayment and removal and disposal of old flooring into the final bill.
Most importantly, perhaps, get something you love! You?ll be spending a lot of time on those floors, so be sure they are something you will enjoy for years to come.
