Looking for an ideal apartment can be daunting. Often, we focus more on the décor and kitchen appliances and forget about the flooring. Nevertheless, the type of flooring determines the ambiance of your apartment. What’s more? Your home décor should complement your flooring. In most apartments, you’ll come across different types of floors and should choose wisely.
Here are tips to guide you:
- Think of your lifestyle
How you live determines the most suitable type of floor for you. For instance, if you welcome guests in your apartment often, you need a robust floor that’s stain resistant. If you have young kids, you also need flooring that you can clean with ease.
What of pets? If you’re a pet lover, a floor that’s easy to clean comes in handy. For instance, vinyl flooring is a perfect choice for dog lovers. It’s waterproof and scratch-resistant. It’s also comfortable underfoot and suits both the dog and your loved ones.
- Consider fashion trends
Most people shop depending on the latest trends, and apartments are not an exception. For this reason, you’ll find hardwood flooring at BRIO at the Rose Apartments in Broken Arrow. Such flooring never goes out of fashion and is a true definition of class and elegance.
The trending flooring ideas for 2021 are;
- Wooden floors
- Tile floors- Both big and textured tiles
- Laminate flooring
- Stained concrete
- Wood looking porcelain
- Waterproof vinyl plank
Environmental friendly floors are also favorite among many. They are natural, recyclable, and renewable floors. They conserve the environment and don’t pose any health hazards.
- Determine your ideal look
We all have varied preferences, and what fascinates you may not interest another person. Decide on the best look that you want for your new apartment, and compare this with the flooring plan. Some floors may be good looking but not retain the beauty for long. The best flooring doesn’t fade and matches your décor.
- Stain resistance/ Ease of cleaning
Is the flooring easy to clean? Does it resist stains and hide footprints? No one loves spending hours scrubbing or vacuuming the floor. The best choice of flooring is easy to clean and maintain no matter the type of stains.
- Allergy-friendly features
If you or your loved ones suffer from asthma or rhinitis, you can’t choose any flooring type. An allergy-friendly floor will make your life more comfortable with no worries about allergic attacks. Examples of allergy-friendly flooring are;
- Tile
- Hardwood
- Porcelain
- Ceramic
- Linoleum
- Location is key!
The type of flooring and where it’s used matters a lot. The entrance is used often, and you expect a durable type of flooring. It should also be strong enough and easy to clean. On the other hand, water-resistant floors are ideal for bathrooms and utility rooms. For the bedroom, a comfortable, warm floor works best.
The bottom line
There are various aspects to consider when renting an apartment, and flooring is critical. The type of flooring should blend in well with your décor and should be easy to clean. Your health also matters; choose allergy-resistant flooring and enjoy better health in your new apartment.
