Choosing the right type of flooring for your space
Choosing the right type of flooring can completely transform the look and feel of any space, so it’s an important thing to consider when renovating your rooms or hallways. Flooring is just as much about practicality as it is aesthetics, which means that finding the right option is about more than just what looks good.
With a variety of flooring types to choose from, it’s crucial to think about which types are the best fit for the space you’re working on. For areas that experience high traffic, like hallways, you’ll probably want to opt for something more durable, whereas you might want something more decorative in your living room or bedroom.
Hardwood or real wood flooring gives any space a premium look and feel, while offering a versatile aesthetic that seamlessly fits with both modern and traditional interior design.
It’s designed to be durable, with the ability to stand the test of time when it’s looked after properly.
Because of its vulnerability to moisture, you’ll want to avoid installing wood floors in bathrooms or other areas of high humidity.
It’s one of the more expensive options, with materials and installation typically being at the higher end of the pricing scale.
