When it comes to decorating your home, you probably have an idea of what you like. You know what style you're going for and what kind of furniture you want, but when it comes to choosing the floor it can get a little more difficult. Because what type of floor suits your home best? Which color do you choose? Whether you want to replace an existing floor or are moving to a new home, here are some tips for choosing a new floor.
Which style suits your taste and your home?
The way your home is decorated and the colors you choose for your floors and walls affect the atmosphere in the room. The style of the floor must therefore match the rest of your interior.
How big is the room?
What is the size and shape of the room where you are going to install a new floor? Is the room bright and full of sunlight or darker with small windows? Light, natural floors make a room feel more spacious and they can brighten up dark areas of your home. Is the room big and wide? Then you can consider using warm or dark tones. These colors make large rooms appear smaller, which makes them a lot cozier.
How is the floor used?
Do you have a family or are you alone? Do people often come over? Do you have children? Or do you have pets? Will the floor be regularly exposed to moisture? How often should the floor be cleaned? How long do you hope and expect that your new floor will last? These are all questions you should ask yourself when choosing the right floor.
Which floor for which room
Different rooms have their own special requirements that you should consider when making your choice. The living room is a central space where many people often come. For this you should choose a floor that is resistant to everyday influences, such as laminate. In addition, there are now laminate floors in different designs, so that there is always something that suits your needs. The bathroom is a damp room. A floor is suitable for this that is water and mold resistant, does not become slippery when damp and is easy to clean. The bedroom is a very personal space, and then you want a floor that looks good, but is also comfortable and warm for bare feet. The kitchen is also a place where many people come, so go for a floor that requires little maintenance and can withstand light moisture and repeated cleaning, such as a PVC floor. Children's rooms play and sleep a lot. That is why it is best to choose a floor that is comfortable, easy to maintain and clean, and which also helps to keep the noise level low.
