Bedroom floor: design options and choice of flooring

The bedroom is a special room in every house where its inhabitants spend most of their time. For proper rest and relaxation, the atmosphere in such a space should be filled with peace and coziness, and the atmosphere should be comfortable, possess pleasant tactile properties.

In the shops you can find many finishing materials suitable for this room. In this article, we will consider materials that can be selected to decorate the floor in the bedroom.

Before purchasing material, you must familiarize yourself with the requirements that apply to it. Incorrectly selected coverage may be unsuccessful and will not last long.

When making a choice, several features should be considered.

• Environmental friendliness. You can not neglect the quality of materials, because in the bedroom we spend most of the time.
• Comfort while walking. Pleasant tactile sensations after waking up will provide a good mood for the whole morning, and in the evening, after a hard day, will allow you to relax and relieve some of the fatigue.
• Appearance. The decoration should be in line with the design of the room.
• Ease of care. Cleaning will be a pleasure, if it does not cause inconvenience, it is carried out quickly. Selectable coverage should be low maintenance.
• Non-slip surface. After sleep until complete awakening, our body remains awkward, inhibited, so slipping is easier than ever (especially after going to the shower). The floor must be safe.
• Heat. After waking up, nobody likes to touch the cold floor with their feet. In the cold season, you can spoil the mood for the whole day, because the coating should be warm.

We will analyze the features of each of the floor coverings in turn.

One of the popular materials for flooring is soft, warm, creating cosiness in space. He has such positive qualities:

• Elementary installation. Working with small tiles is easy, as well as dismantling them.
• Easy to carry.
• Profitability. After installation, no more than 5% of waste remains in any room, and with a conventional carpet this parameter can reach 20%. The problem is that the roll in size often does not match the size of the room. In the case of tiles this trouble will not be.

One of aesthetic, heat-intensive and natural coatings that add harmony and comfort to a room in a classic or artsy style. The board is mistaken for parquet. This product is made from natural wood.

Unlike solid wood, a parquet board is not made from a whole piece. This is a three-layer coating, where the first layer is responsible for the design and is an elite tree species. The larger such a layer, the more polishes it is possible to carry out - accordingly, such parquet in the end costs more. The remaining 2 layers are often made of coniferous wood. All parts are glued together under high pressure, and the fibers are in opposite directions - this allows to achieve good product strength.

An excellent and inexpensive option for decorating the floor in the bedroom. It is possible to regard it as the most economical and affordable analogue of a parquet board, which is much inferior to it in the materials used. This board is assembled from a certain number of different layers, the fundamental of which is fiberboard, under which moisture-resistant paper is used. The top layer is reinforced with a film that makes the coating even more moisture resistant. This is followed by decorative paper and a layer of melamine resins.

Laminate is a cool coating. It is possible to make a warm floor under it, but it is not recommended. It goes well with fluffy carpets. It is necessary to acquire a coating of high-quality, from well-known manufacturers, otherwise the new finish after a short period of time will begin to warp, will become worthless.

The specified material is known to many, and in current apartments it is present almost everywhere. At the base is polyvinyl chloride. The first white layer is a substrate having small sound-absorbing properties. On the upper layer there is the possibility of applying any pattern with an imitation of material, such as tile, stone, marble.

Cons of coverage for use in the bedroom is not significant:

• leaving dark stripes and marks from the shoes, but in the bedroom almost no one walks around in shoes, therefore there should be no problems;
• it cracks from subzero temperatures and deforms from high ones - in bedrooms, as a rule, the temperature does not change much;
• after installation, unpleasant odor may come from linoleum, but it will disappear in a couple of days.

In a muffled room with peach walls, dark paintings and a light, soft bed, it is permissible to lay a dark chocolate parquet board.

The decor in a modern style, in which white and black tones collide, is suitable for a black laminate with a glossy surface.

In a bright room with the same bright furniture made from natural materials, it is worth laying a carpet with a milky hue.

In a classic interior with a voluminous bed, carved decorations, expensive furniture and intricate golden lamps, a dark floor made of natural wood covered with a large carpet will look chic.

With a modern snow-white room with minimalist furniture and light decorations, a pale ash shade laminate covered with a large gray carpet will harmonize.
