Anyone who has previously had to choose to the floor will understand how challenging selecting the right option can be – especially with so many options available on the market. That’s why we’ve decided to create a step by step guide that walks you through the entire process of choosing the perfect flooring.
Regardless of whether you have an idea of the type of flooring you want, or whether you are completely unsure of which option to choose, there are still a number of things you need to consider before buying.
Some of these considerations are:
- Color scheme
One of the first considerations is the current color scheme of your home. Some flooring colors, such as neutral tones like grey and brown, will match almost any color scheme which makes them a great option for people that regularly change their decor. However, if you would like to opt for a bright color, ensure it complements the other colors in your home.
- Placement of the flooring
If you are choosing to the floor for a specific room, consider what that room is used for because some materials aren’t suitable for certain conditions. For example, both wood and carpet can become damaged when in contact with water for a long period of time which means they aren’t the right choice for a bathroom.
- Square footage budget
Another top tip is to consider your budget for the flooring before you start shopping. Wood flooring is considerably more expensive than carpet per square meter and costs more to fit. Deciding on a budget prevents you from falling in love with a floor you can’t afford.
- Personal preference
Although there are several different factors to think about when deciding on the best flooring for you, try to ensure you still consider your personal preferences as well rather than focusing on cost and color scheme only.
