Choosing a new floor: what should you pay attention to?

You would like a new floor in your house, but what should you pay attention to? Of course, looks play a major role, but a floor must above all be practical. In this blog we give you some tips that will help you choose a new floor.

Choose a floor that suits the room 

When choosing a new floor, take into account the room in which the floor will be placed. A bathroom floor must meet very different requirements than a bedroom floor. Are you looking for a new floor for your living room? Make sure it can take a beating. The living room is used a lot more intensively than the bedroom. Therefore choose parquet or tiles, these floors last a long time and can endure a lot.

Go for the long haul 

Laying a new floor is quite an expense. You can easily paint walls a different color and you will even change furniture from time to time. However, you don't install a new floor that often. Therefore, take into account fixed elements such as the kitchen, doors and, for example, a fireplace. Does your new floor fit with this? If in doubt, opt for a more neutral floor, which you can always dress up with cool rugs. 

Expand the space 

Are you laying a new floor in a small space? Then make sure that the floor makes your space bigger. Therefore, do not place large tiles in a small space. The amount of joints in small tiles make the surface appear larger. Do you opt for a dark floor? Then paint your ceiling white so that the room does not become too dark, because then it will look smaller. And do you lay parquet? Make sure that you always lay this floor in a longitudinal direction, then the seams also make the room appear optically larger.

A floor as an eye-catcher 

Nowadays, a floor can be quite an eye- catcher . Think of herringbone parquet, a terrazzo floor or a concrete cast floor. Do you doubt whether you will quickly get tired of these trend floors? Then choose a floor that is easy to replace, such as laminate or PVC. 

Are you unable or not allowed to adjust the floor and are you tired of your floor? Then distract attention with cool carpets. Choose a striking color or a striking motif , or go for a carpet in Berber style . Combine different styles with each other by casually layering them. At least your floor doesn't have to be boring!
