Remodeling: A Home That's as Good as New

One way to really transform the feeling of your bedroom is by changing the flooring of your bedroom. Of course, you want your bedroom to be a comfortable space, which is why the flooring you choose for your bedroom is so important.

#1: Carpet 

Carpet is still a very popular flooring choice for bedrooms, as it is both soft on one's bare feet, and the bedroom is one space in the home where people often go barefooted. The texture of the right carpet can create a feeling of luxury and warmth in the bedroom. Additionally, carpet tends to be warm on the feet and can help hold in the warmth in your room. It is also sound dampening, helping to create a quiet space.

The downside to carpet is that it can be difficult to really keep it clean, as the fibers can trap allergens and pollen inside of them. Additionally, carpet isn't recyclable at the end of its life, so you will want to avoid carpet if you are looking for an eco-friendly choice.

#2: Hardwood

Another popular bedroom choice is hardwood flooring. Hardwood flooring adds natural beauty to your space. Outside of carpet, it is one of the warmer flooring options, and it can be combined with area rugs to warm up the room further. Additionally, it is a long-lasting material that doesn't hold in allergens. However, it can be expensive to install and doesn't provide any sound or thermal installation. Additionally, it is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled at the end of its life.

#3: Bamboo

Bamboo is another type of flooring you can use in your bedroom. Bamboo flooring is actually made from grass, not wood. It has the look of hardwood flooring, at generally a much more reasonable price. Bamboo flooring is easy to take care of and is really durable. It is a great cost-effective alternative to hardwood flooring.

#4: Cork

Finally, you can use cork flooring in your bedroom. Cork flooring is soft and has kind of a spongy feeling to it. It is more forgiving than hardwood flooring and bamboo. It is warmer on your feet, and it provides both thermal and sound insulation. It is easy to take care of and has both anti-allergy and anti-microbial properties.

The downside is that cork is an expensive material, and it doesn't have as long a lifespan as hardwood floors but does have a longer lifespan than carpet. It can also be easily scratched, so you need to be careful when moving furniture around.

When choosing flooring materials for your bedroom, you need to consider the cost, warmth, look, insulation, and durability of the flooring. Contact companies like Valor Home Services to learn more.
