Beneath that pile of gym clothes, under the furry rug sits what could be a beautiful bedroom floor. Sure, bedroom floors can become a little cluttered sometimes, but the right flooring material will add the sort of beauty and warmth that turns any bedroom into the coziest room in the home. If you’re remodeling, you’ve probably discovered that there are countless options available. So, here’s a little info about some of our favorite bedroom floors.
Hardwood Flooring is without a doubt the warmest, most comforting, most traditionally beautiful flooring option for bedrooms, in both classic-country and contemporary homes. Manufacturers such as IndusParquet, Mullican and Anderson offer a variety of gorgeous collections to suit any decor setting. Hardwood flooring is typically available in solid styles (each plank is a solid piece of wood) and engineered styles (planks are made with multiple wood layers laminated together). Both types have special benefits, and both are available at a variety of price points. Additional details such as hand-scraped and distressed finishes give hardwood floors a rustic “lived-in” feel that simply feels comfortable. In bedrooms, hardwood floors provide a nice sense of warmth and character that is complemented with area rugs and wooden furniture.
Another fantastic option for bedrooms is Bamboo Flooring. Manufacturers such as Mowhawk and Teragren craft exotic bamboo floors that are as beautiful as they are durable. Long strips of Moso
bamboo are fused together into flooring planks that are incredibly strong and highly resistant to scuffs and abrasions. The bamboo’s rich natural grain and subtle coloration provide a warm look similar to hardwood, but less varied. Bamboo is also one of the most eco-friendly flooring products on the market, so it’s a fantastic choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Speaking of eco-friendly floors, Cork Flooring is another excellent choice for use in the bedroom. Much like bamboo, cork is harvested without harming the tree it’s cut from. In fact, many existing cork trees have produced usable material for over 150 years. Cork floors are typically available in large tile shapes, in a nearly endless variety of colors and patterns. APC, GLOBUS and Wicanders all produce gorgeous cork collection that look fabulous in the bedroom. Plus, cork is a natural insulator, so it reduces noise and echoes – and a
quiet room is a happy room.
Of course, Hardwood, Bamboo and Cork are just a few of the flooring options that make bedrooms feel warm and welcoming.
