Flooring For Living Room

By Darren Hartley


If you want the living room flooring to be the star of the show and not just stay as an understated background, you may choose real wood for your flooring. Real wood has become increasingly durable and affordable, thanks to the new manufacturing methods in existence nowadays.

For richness, living room flooring may involve layer rugs. Layering a smaller area rug over a larger rug defines a seating group within the larger space. Furthermore, it enriches the palette of patterns in a room. A prime example would be a swirl-print rug placed on top of a neutral woven rug.

The use of brick tiles for the living room flooring adds a rustic charm to the living area. It gives an old world ambiance to the entirety of the room. Once the bricks are sealed, they are easily maintainable. They can be simply swept and vacuumed while dirt and mud are removed with a mixture of soap and water.

Custom wide-plank hardwood living room flooring can bring character and beauty to any living space. There are companies that specialize in reclaimed or salvaged wood. There are also those who focus on sustainably harvested new growth. That these companies can be searched online makes the process a lot easier for homeowners.

Setting the tone for the decor of a living area is not that difficult at all. You can start by colourfully painting your living room flooring. The protection of the finish may be achieved with the application of several coats of polyurethane.

For homeowners in search of a way to get the look of stone in their living room flooring, search no further. Staining and scoring concrete floors to emulate stone or tile is possible. The better news is it costs less than procuring either material. Concrete floors can also be stained to imitate leather.
