Some Of The Best Flooring Options For Your Home

One of the first things to consider when looking to improve your home interior is the floor! Floors play an integral part in defining the aesthetic appeal of your space and can make a huge difference in how you feel about your house.

Floor types include all sorts, from natural stone to artificial grass to wood. Each type has its own unique look and feel that can be matched to any style or theme. In this article, we will discuss some of the best flooring options for your home and which ones are worth investing in.

“Natural Stones”

These are by far our favorite room decoration. Natural stones such as travertine, marble, granite, and others come in many different colors and patterns. They are also relatively inexpensive, making them a very cost-effective way to liven up your home’s decor.

Marble is perhaps one of the most recognizable natural stone looks. Although it may seem expensive at first, large pieces are actually quite affordable once you factor in the costs of installation and shipping/delivery.

“Artificial Grass”

Another popular floor option is fake grass. A lot of people use these in their living rooms or family areas to add some soft, comfortable texture. It feels good walking on and can help keep feet dry due to the porous nature of the surface.

“Lattice floors”

Lattice flooring is one of the hottest trends in new house designs. These beautiful looking floors were popularized by Crate & Barrel, and now you can find them at home stores and online sellers!

Lattices are made out of wooden planks that have been glued together to form squares or rectangles with rounded corners. Because they have so many different shapes, lattice is an excellent choice if you like patterns and shades of wood.

Some vendors use plastic instead of wood as their material, but we will not discuss those types here.

Overall, most people agree that lattice is aesthetically pleasing and unique.

“Ceramic tile”

For those looking to add some rich, attractive flooring to their home, ceramic tiles are one of the most popular choices. They can be an expensive choice though- price per square foot is not cheap!

Ceramic tiles come in many different shapes and sizes and you get what you pay for – they are very sturdy and durable, but they may look heavy and complicated to lay out.

Overall however, they last quite well and can easily be replaced or repaired if broken. Many people use them as a way to give your house a distinctive look that is also practical and cost effective.

They are particularly versatile since you can either place it directly onto a surface or stick it into a pre-existing surface layer first. This allows you to create a seamless transition from room to room.

“Engineered wood”

Engineered woods are made up of several layers that each contribute to its durability. The most common types are MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) as a supporting layer, and veneer or composite materials like paper or plastic used for the surface layer.

The layer of material between two surfaces is what gives engineered woods their incredible strength. Because they’re only one thin layer thick, they’re very flexible and can be bent and pressed into many different shapes. This makes them good options for furniture where flexibility is important.

Engineered floors are great because they are sturdy and long lasting. They will also last longer than regular solid floor tiles due to their thinner design.

Something to keep in mind when choosing an engineered wood floor is whether or not it is glued down. Certain styles may use glue-down technology, but some may not.

“Real wood”

One of the greatest trends in home decor is real, natural materials. Materials like wooden furniture, doors, floor coverings, and more are made from timber that comes exclusively from trees.

Timber comes in many forms so it’s important to know what kind of wood your material is before buying. Hardwood is much heavier and denser than softwoods which can make them more expensive to produce.

However, they last longer too! Because hardwoods are such heavy materials, they are sometimes used in large quantities, which can add up to a decent price tag.

Hardwood floors are usually stained either at the factory or by you as an individual. Staining is one of the most popular ways to use hardwood — just remember to match your stain with appropriate products and test it on a small area first!

Softwoods include pine, bamboo, maple, and others. These materials cost less to make but they will need professional cleaning and care later.

Trim pieces are also made of wood and should be cleaned using specific products and methods.
