As you have a baby, your are going to, or there is a little one on the way there are a few things you need to think about before choosing the suitable floor for your family. So here we talk through some options for you to make it easier to choose the best one.
To consider the babies in your home, the first think that comes into your mind is the softness since they are always playing, sitting, crawling and do many things on the floor.
Carpet is one the obvious choices but there are a few downsides to consider. As you know , it isn’t much easy to clean. So if you are going to install them in a room made for eating or messy play may take apart you might be better off with hard floors, which can be layered with smaller, manageable, easier to clean area rugs. Hard floors are more conductive and better for some kind of games such as building block towers, jigsaw puzzles and push toys.
However, if you are still interested in soft, plush carpet in a nursery you can consider it too, but ensure that you will choose a low-allergy one and have it steam cleaned regularly.
Then, to talk about color selection, apparently very light shade will appear more dirty and show up dirt more easily, meanwhile very dark shades Amy show up fluff, therefore you can have a mid-tone neutral one which is the easiest to live with, and decorate around.
And if hard floors which include soft rugs for sitting and playing are still a choice for you, again you’ll have to consider some points about it. So e of the hard floors are softer than the others such as Timber, Bamboo, Luxury vinyl, and Laminate. Severe high chairs are push toys on plastic wheels may be in use you must also want to take a scratch resistance into consideration too
As you know when the babies spend much more time near the ground, it needs to be clean all the time but the point is that, avoid using the chemical cleaners for your floors whenever babies are close to the ground for protecting them from inhaling and ingesting it. And try to use local choices such as hot water and vinegar to clean your floors.
And the last thing which is worth mentioning is that, you better off to start installing your floors before your baby comes home, therefore you protect them from breathing in glues or such these things, or even better than that opt for a floating floor, which doesn’t need any gluing. Some floating floor options include Bamboo, Laminate, Timber and Engineered Timber.
Finally, our advice is that always invest in the things of which gives more value to your home, this includes hardware, cabinetry, and floors. In particular, your choice of flooring sets tone for the rest of your décor, so choose the best one which your family will enjoy for years to come.
