When it
comes to choosing the perfect flooring for your home, there are a few factors
you’ll need to bear in mind to make sure you choose a style that’s beautiful
yet functional in equal measure. While there are many details you’ll need to
think about, here are five of the most important:
The room in question
Before
deciding which style of flooring is right for your home, it’s first important
to think about the room it will be laid in. After all, every room in your house
has a different function, so it’s crucial to think about which style of
flooring will best complement this.
For
instance, while a fluffy carpet may be ideal for your cosy living room, it
won’t be suitable for the bathroom or kitchen where spillages are commonplace.
Before choosing the right flooring for you, you’ll need to think about how the
room in question is used.
Your preferred tastes
Flooring
trends and fashions come and go, so it’s recommended that you choose a style of
flooring that suits your personal tastes. There’s no point purchasing the
patterned tiles you’ve spotted in an interior design magazine if you’re likely
to go off them in a few months time. You’ll also need to think about the
current design of the room in question and make sure your new flooring
complements this well.
Your lifestyle
If you live
alone and really pride yourself on your spotlessly clean home, keeping your
fluffy, cream hallway carpets clean may be fairly easy. However, if you live in
a bustling household with three children and an excitable puppy, you’d be
better off choosing a flooring that can be maintained with minimal effort.
Flooring
styles that won’t stain easily, such as laminate and vinyl tiles, could be a
top choice of flooring for a busy household, so bear this in mind when making
your decision.
Durability
With the
right care and maintenance, your new carpet, floorboards or vinyl tiles should
look great for years to come. However, some styles of flooring are easier to
keep in great condition than others, so it’s important to consider this when
choosing the right flooring for you.
For
instance, if you wouldn’t have time to shampoo and vacuum a carpet regularly,
it may be better to opt for vinyl tiles or floorboards that simply require
sweeping with a soft brush every now and then.
Your budget
When
choosing new flooring for your home, it’s imperative to think about your
budget. The last thing you want to do is spend more than you can realistically
afford, so it’s crucial to set a budget before you start browsing through
flooring showrooms.
Remember -
your budget will need to encompass more than just the cost of the carpet or
tiles. You’ll also need to take into account installation prices and how much
it’ll cost to maintain your new flooring, so it’s worth discussing this with
your chosen flooring company before you make a purchase.
