If you are thinking about installing new wooden flooring in your home, you might have taken inspiration from home magazines or you might have seen wooden flooring installed at one of your friend’s homes. When making your wooden flooring decision, it is perhaps a good idea to keep in mind the use of the room where the floor will be installed before finalising your choice.

Wooden floor in living areas

The living room will be one room in the home where there is greater footfall than other rooms. It is also the place where you can rest and relax so the room needs to feel welcoming and restful. Hardwood flooring is a perfect option in a living room; it can create a beautiful warm homely feel in the room and finish the room off beautifully.

Areas that may get wet like kitchens and bathrooms

Because both these areas are prone to moisture, a good option to choose is a floor that is resistant to water. Some types of hardwood floor are specially manufactured with this point in mind, so are perfect for use in these areas.
