Which floor to choose for the bedroom?

Choosing the right floor is one of the main tasks that can be solved when arranging a bedroom. You should not neglect it, because the beauty, comfort and durability of the coating directly depend on it. Which option to choose, everyone decides for himself, guided by his preferences and the recommendations listed below.

When choosing a floor covering, many are guided only by its appearance, without paying attention to other significant points. Looking at this approach through the eyes of a builder, you can see that it is erroneous, often leading to disappointment with the laid material.

It is worth highlighting the key requirements, in addition to aesthetics, which the bedroom floor must meet.

• Soundproof... Reduces the likelihood of waking up from extraneous sounds. First of all, this is important for premises whose owners have different daily routines.
• Warmly... Avoids the discomfort associated with touching a cold surface. This point is especially true for bedrooms that do not have carpets.
• Antistatic... Minimizes the likelihood of dust accumulation on the floor. Another plus of such coatings is the simplicity and high speed of cleaning.
• Environmental Safety... It guarantees the absence of allergic reactions and other problems caused by the use of components harmful to health.

In general, choosing a floor covering for a bedroom is much easier than for a kitchen, bathroom or hallway. This room does not suffer from frequent pollution, high humidity and temperature extremes, and people do not walk on the floor in high-heeled shoes. Thus, when choosing a cover, the owners of the bedroom can give full freedom to their imaginations.

There are many bedroom floor coverings on the market today - innovative and classic, natural and synthetic, prosaic and highly distinctive. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, which determine the choice of the optimal option for the owner of the premises.

Such a coating can be confidently called an unfading classic with the following obvious advantages:

• resistance to wear without losing its presentable appearance;
• good soundproofing qualities;
• environmental Safety;
• many options for external execution.

Deserve special attention parquet boards and boards - varieties of the considered coating, the basis of which is chipboard. They have most of the advantages of the classical variation (with the exception of the quality factor of the materials used), which explains their steadily growing popularity. In addition, boards and boards are much cheaper than parquet, and it is much easier to care for them.

This option belongs to the budget category, and therefore its first plus is a democratic price. Its other advantages are:

• a variety of colors, shades, patterns and patterns (including imitations of natural materials);
• minimal tendency to contamination, guaranteeing ease of cleaning;
• no problems with styling.

The main disadvantage of laminate flooring is its relatively short service life. And also it is worth mentioning its low moisture resistance (with the exception of certain varieties) and noticeable voicing, requiring the installation of a special substrate.

As a rule, the material in question is used in private houses, while in apartments it is practically not used. Experts recommend it for furnishing ethnic-style bedrooms, first of all noting the good quality and environmental friendliness of natural wood. In addition, the solid board:

• differs in external attractiveness;
• pleasant to the touch;
• has impressive durability;
• easily repaired;
• controls the level of humidity in the room.

Another advantage of solid wood planks is good soundproofing qualities, which make the stay in the bedroom extremely comfortable. Of the disadvantages of natural wood, it is worth highlighting the need for its careful processing, directed against insects, mold and rot.

Experts consider this solution for the floor in the bedroom one of the most interesting. Due to its specific structure, the cork boasts the following advantages:

• excellent shock-absorbing qualities, especially important for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
• wear resistance;
• good sound insulation and antistatic properties;
• the ability to maintain a comfortable temperature for humans.

And also cork floors are not afraid of moisture, which allows you to wash them without any fear. The surface of such coatings is also noteworthy - it is original in appearance and pleasant to the touch.

Like laminate flooring, the presented coating belongs to the budget segment, but costs about half the price. In addition to its low cost, linoleum has a number of other positive qualities:

• many options for external design (solutions imitating marble, parquet or natural wood are very popular);
• resistance to mechanical stress;
• ease of installation and further maintenance.

As for the shortcomings of linoleum, the main one is the non-environmental friendliness characteristic of any synthetic material. Such coatings can cause an allergic reaction - provided that the owner of the premises has an individual intolerance to one of their components. The old-fashioned linoleum is also worth mentioning: it is often the reason for the refusal to use it.

If the owners of the bedroom are not satisfied with the classic version of the material in question, marmoleum may be suitable for them - its natural variety. It has the same list of benefits, complemented by environmental friendliness and antibacterial resistance.

Another solution for the bedroom can be “liquid linoleum” - a self-leveling floor that can boast of the uniqueness of its design. This option can be recommended to all lovers of originality who have a significant budget to implement their ideas.

This material for the bedroom floor is a carpet consisting of a base and a pile. It can be confidently recommended to all connoisseurs of home comfort, for whom, above all, pleasant tactile sensations are important. Other positive qualities of carpet are:

• many suggested colors;
• the ability to choose a coating with a given pile height;
• ease of installation;
• comparative durability.

The main disadvantages of carpet are the ability to quickly absorb moisture and poor resistance to dirt. The fleecy structure of the material contributes to the fact that it acts as a "dust collector", the cleaning of which takes a lot of time and effort. Given this circumstance, allergy sufferers and people with chronic diseases of the respiratory system should refuse to lay carpet.

Practice shows that tiles and porcelain stoneware are rarely used as bedroom flooring. As a rule, they are used in rooms with warm floors, without which they are too cold. Of the pluses of the tile, the first of all stand out:

• durability and very high service life;
• a variety of options for external performance;
• hygiene;
• resistance to temperature extremes and aggressive chemical compounds.

Provided there is a warm floor, there are only two disadvantages of tiled coatings:

• due to the fact that the heating system does not work in summer, you have to put up with the coldness of the material;
• fragile products must not be allowed to fall on the tiles - the probability of their damage in such cases is extremely high.

Talking about bedroom floor coverings, it is worth mentioning 3 more varieties of them, primarily designed for connoisseurs of extraordinary solutions.

• Leather... Natural, very solid and pleasant to the touch. It is most suitable for use in bedrooms because of its mediocre wear resistance. To increase the service life, leather coatings are treated with hot varnish. The main disadvantages are the high cost of the material and the complexity of its finishing.
• Leather + cork. Stylish and solid combination, especially appreciated by lovers of natural coatings. Considering the stylistic monotony of cork products, their addition with leather elements looks very advantageous.
• Glass... One of the fanciest options available with stripes, panels, or solid slabs. For the arrangement of the floor, laminated glass is most often used, which is resistant to strong mechanical stress. Such coatings are beautiful, distinctive, easy to care for and resistant to wear, and their main disadvantages are soiling and high price.

In order for the flooring to organically fit into the interior of the bedroom, you should pay special attention to its tone. First of all, it should be combined with walls, doors, furniture and the most significant decorative elements. As for the most popular floor shades, a list of them is presented below.

• Dark... The optimal solution for connoisseurs of elegant and solid interiors, made in modern styles. Best combined with reds, golds and light tones.

• Gray... One of the best options for anyone who prefers versatile and unobtrusive combinations. These can be combinations with white, black or yellow colors - from strict and cool to cheerful and moderately warm.

• Light... An excellent solution for lovers of space and stylistic brevity.

• Yellow and beige... A great option for bedrooms, the main features of which are warmth and comfort. These tones are suitable for almost any interior; in addition, scratches and small dirt are hardly visible on a yellow or beige background.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the various shades. Brown color... They are associated with earth, adding naturalness to any space, bringing harmony and a sense of security to it.

In conclusion, it remains to consider the most characteristic examples of floors in the interior of bedrooms, supplementing them with several useful recommendations:

• in interiors made with a predominance of white, the shine of the tree successfully sets off the light elements;

• shades of cream and caramel are advantageously combined with a variety of accessories - both catchy and neutral;

• snow-white, slightly aged wood is the best option for all connoisseurs of vintage;

• the combination of several shades of laminate or parquet - both dark and light - gives a special expressiveness to the bedroom in the style of minimalism;

• the originality of the texture of the cork floor makes any room original;

• the use of white carpet in combination with red or red walls creates a spectacular and mesmerizing contrast;

• the use of zigzags is an ideal solution for bedrooms with a lot of strict lines;

• in rooms that lack identity, it is reasonable to put a stylish carpet like a magnet that attracts the attention of others.
