Best Flooring for the Bedroom

When it comes to finding the perfect flooring for your bedroom, there is a wide range of options available to you. Since bedrooms are not considered high traffic areas, and they do not have water concerns, what flooring is best for your bedroom is mainly going to depend on your taste and style. Let’s take a look at a couple of the top choices:

Carpet

Carpet is the classic option in the bedroom. It is warm and soft, and many plush, cozy varieties are perfect for the bedroom. Another great reason to choose carpet is that it will help to keep your room warm. You won’t have to worry about cold toes walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The most popular type of carpeting in the bedroom is cut pile, or saxony, since it is soft and comfortable under bare feet. Since it is a low traffic area, the type of carpeting that you choose can be left mostly up to your style and taste.

Carpeting also tends to be easier on the budget than other flooring options, and there are many options for all budgets. Even though bedrooms are low traffic areas and carpet will not become worn down quickly, it will have to be replaced a lot sooner than hardwood.

Hardwood

Hardwood is an elegant, popular flooring option for in the bedroom. While hardwood is a beautiful option, it does have some drawbacks compared to carpet. Since it is a hard flooring it will be much colder than carpet and won’t insulate the room. If you are looking at carpeting a young child’s room, hardwood is also going to hurt more if they fall out of bed or slip. If you love hardwood, you do have the option to add an area rug on top of it to help it feel warmer and cozier.

If you’re looking to sell your house, hardwood can increase your house’s value where carpeting will not.

Other Options

There are many other flooring options that you can consider for your bedroom. Some of the popular ones include cork, bamboo, laminate, vinyl, and tile. These are all hard floors, so they are going to have many of the same disadvantages that hardwood has when compared to carpet.

Whether your heart is set on warm, cozy carpet, beautiful, timeless hardwood, or another flooring option for your bedroom, we can help you choose the option that will work for your home, budget, and lifestyle.
