How to choose the right flooring for your Home Interior Design

Once you step on the floor, each flooring will change your mood with a unique and different appearance. If you walk into the marble bathroom, you can feel a touch of luxe through those premium textures. Whilst you are in the living room with a vinyl mosaic floor, you can sense a stylish fashion there. Also, the quality of the material is varied, depending on the type. Some are durable and last long for decades, some are beautiful but fragile and easy to get scratch. 

Flooring is one of the important parts of interior design. You can see how it totally changes one room into another room. Let’s see how these flooring types are different and how to choose the right one for your home!

1. Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood, the most popular option for a luxury home. Every single piece of hardwood is real wood cut from a tree, made of oak, cherry, or walnut. If you still can’t choose the direction of style for your room yet, it’s the best choice since hardwood has the versatility to adapt to almost interior design in the world. Even it’s expensive, but the higher price comes with durability and convenience. Hardwood offers you a steady appearance without color fading and also low maintenance. It’s stain-resistant and also easy to clean and remove dirt. This floor type brings you better air quality since it doesn’t trap dust and any other allergens. If you want to spend your time in elegant and inviting living spaces, the first one we recommend is the hardwood flooring.

2. Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is known as the representative of hardwood. It looks almost the same as hardwood at a lower cost. But, if look closely at the detail, laminate doesn’t have a real wood top layer. It’s an image capture by photo-realism technology that can make your floor tile looks like anything, such as wood and stone. It’s sealed by durable plywood making it the stable and durable flooring ever. Still, laminate is not that good for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas like the kitchen and bathroom interior design since it’s easy to get scratch and also difficult to repair.

3. Vinyl & Linoleum Flooring

Most of you might oversee and think of them as the flooring that makes your home look cheap. It becomes a less popular appearance compared to others. But actually, not every vinyl and linoleum will cheapen the look. If you choose the right pattern and design, you can create the most premium look at an affordable price and versatile quality for your ideal interior design. Vinyl and linoleum are a great way to decorate the high-traffic floor into a stylish space and also offer flexible and cushioned surfaces. It also helps you save time and money since it’s very easy for DIY installation.

4. Porcelain & Ceramic Flooring

With the strongness, durability, and water resistance, Porcelain and ceramic flooring are really compatible with high-stress environments. It is a good choice for high-traffic and moisture-prone areas like the floor of entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms. Sadly, it’s the most expensive option and requires an expensive installation as well, since the heavyweight causes it too hard for DIY lover. However, if you give the porcelain and ceramic good care, it can be last for over decades. By its versatile appearance, It adds wilderness into a loft home or it can be the point of luxury in modern interior design. 

5. Natural Stone Flooring

When you’re thinking of something luxurious, I guess marble is always the first choice that comes up to your mind. But actually, there are tons of natural stone flooring with a luxury look waiting for your selection, such as travertine, granite, slate, ledger, and limestone. It has various color shapes and styles that will bring uniqueness to your space with the different characteristics. A lot of advantages, as natural stone is good for a home with kids and pets since it’s eco-friendly and also works well with radiant heating and most of them are moisture-resistant. Still, natural stone requires a lot of care since it’s easy to get scratches on the surface. Especially, it is always the popular choice for kitchen and bathroom interior design.
