5 Things To Consider When Choosing Types Of Flooring

How The Space Is Used

Consider your lifestyle and how the space will be used. For high-traffic areas like the living room or kitchen, you want durable and easy-to-clean options like laminate, hardwood, or tile.

For bedrooms or upstairs areas, you may want to choose carpet to keep it cozy and reduce the noise.

Budget

Make sure you set your budget before wading into the many varieties of flooring, as some choices can be more expensive than others.

Maintenance 

Different flooring materials require more maintenance than others. Hardwood and tile can be fairly easy to keep clean and maintain, while carpets and other flooring options require more care.

Sustainability

If being eco-friendly is important to you, considering flooring made of bamboo, cork, or reclaimed wood can be a great way to make your home greener.

Allergies

If you or someone in your family are sensitive to allergens, carpeting may not be the right choice. It’s often better to go with a hard surface like hardwood, laminate, or tile that can be easily cleaned and won’t trap allergens.

Top 5 Types Of Flooring

The popularity of flooring materials varies depending on where you live, trends, and (of course) personal preferences.

Hardwood

This is a classic choice that’s known for its natural beauty and durability. There are endless options when it comes to finishes, types of wood, and colors, which makes it a versatile choice.

Laminate

These types of flooring are generally more affordable than hardwood while mimicking its appearance.

It can be a great choice for families with young children who want the look of hardwood but need something a little more forgiving when it comes to spills and drops.

Tile

Choosing ceramic or porcelain tile is a popular choice in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas like entryways and mudrooms.

You can find options in nearly any color and pattern, making tile a fantastic choice for many areas of the home.

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

This is another option for anyone who wants the look of hardwood flooring but needs a more affordable and durable option.

LVP has become popular in recent years due to its realistic wood and stone visuals, low maintenance, and waterproof properties.

Carpet

Carpet is still a popular choice for many homeowners, especially in bedroom and living areas that need to feel cozy and warm.

While these are typically the most popular types of flooring, there are many others you can explore, including cork, bamboo, natural stone, engineered hardwood, linoleum, concrete, and more.

Each flooring option has its own unique characteristics, benefits, and suitability for different areas in your home.
