Choosing the right flooring doubles the appearance of your home!
Do you remember the feeling of walking into a rough house for the first time? The most eye-catching thing in the empty room is the concrete floor. And the moment you lay the floor, the home truly feels warm. As a flooring enthusiast who has renovated three properties, today I want to share with you not only how to choose flooring, but also how to add luster to your life with flooring.
Why is the floor the “base color” of a home?
Imagine this: the morning sun pours into the bedroom, and you step barefoot on the warm floor; On weekend afternoons, children play on the floor while pets lazily lie on the side. The floor is not just a decoration material, but also the stage of our lives. It directly affects the visual effect of the space, the comfort of living, and even the daily mood.
Which of the three mainstream flooring options is suitable for you?
Solid Wood Flooring: Natural Artworks
Suitable for: You who pursue natural texture and have sufficient budget
My experience: Just like a leather sofa that becomes more and more flavorful with use, the warmth of solid wood flooring is irreplaceable. However, it should be noted that it requires regular maintenance and is not very suitable for underfloor heating
Solid wood composite flooring: the king of cost-effectiveness
Suitable for: the wise choice for most families
My experience: The surface is made of solid wood, and the base is made of other woods, which not only retains the appearance of solid wood, but also is more stable and durable. This is the one I use at home, and it still looks like new after three years
Reinforced composite flooring: Super Wear Warrior
Suitable for: Families with pets and children
Usage suggestion: Despite its affordable price and extremely high wear resistance index. My friend has two houses, and they have been using reinforced flooring for five years without any scratches
The color selection secret to double the size of the space
A must-have for small-sized apartments: light colors are your best choice. My 60 square meter small apartment is in light oak color, instantly enlarging the visual area by 20%
What to do if there is insufficient lighting: Avoid dark flooring as it will absorb light. Suggest choosing styles with slight reflective effects
The most error free combination: The floor color is one degree darker than the wall and one degree lighter than the furniture
