Giving your home a makeover is an arduous task because you have so many things you want to change or update. One of the biggest decisions is your flooring. What kind of floor shall I have? Shall I have the same for every room?

One Floor To Rule Them All
Most homes don’t go for one flooring in every single room. Usually, you have different varieties and styles depending on which room. For example, you don’t have carpet in your kitchen. You just don’t. But, lots of people choose to go for a nice carpeting in bedrooms or a lounge area. The key is finding the best flooring for each room in the house. Obviously if you want one specific flooring in every room, then no one will stop you. There’s no floor police that will come knocking on your door; the good news, it’s up to you.

Hardwood Flooring
Wood Flooring, more commonly known as hardwood, is any flooring made and designed from wood or timber. A good, quality, wood flooring can breathe life into any room. It’s most popularly used in hallways, kitchens or lounge areas. A wood floor sounds boring, but it isn’t. In fact, there are many styles to choose from. And thanks to online timber suppliers, you can have a browse from the comfort of your home. The key to choosing a wood floor is quality. You’ll need to find a flooring that will stand the test of time. Something that can clean easily too.

Tile
Tile style flooring is a favorite in many bathrooms and kitchens. It’s such a popular bathroom choice because it’s one of the best for dealing with water spills. You can easily mop up a spill on a tile flooring, and it won’t danger the surface. There are many types of tiles, from ceramic to porcelain and even natural stone. Each has their benefits and unique styles, so choose wisely. It’s safe to say the one place you rarely find tile flooring is the bedroom. So you can cross it off the ‘bedroom flooring’ list… or maybe not?

Carpet
A traditional flooring type, carpets have been around for ages. Most bedrooms are fitted with carpet because it’s soft, comfy, and keeps the room warmer. It suits bedrooms more than any other room in the house. Some people like to have carpets in living areas too, but it’s almost unheard of to have a carpeted kitchen floor. Like the others, carpets come in different varieties. You can choose from hundreds of colors and styles to find the perfect one for you.

There’s no true winner in the flooring war. You can argue all day long on the pros and cons of all three here. One thing’s for certain; there are flooring options for every room. When you choose a hard flooring like tile or wood, you open up the possibility of extra customization. And, good rug is an essential accessory for any hard flooring.
