Choosing the right kind of flooring is one of the most important decisions you have to make when it comes to improving your home. Laminate floors are considered value for money as they look good and are affordable, durable, low maintenance, scratch resistant and widely preferred by consumers. These floorings are also great for people who own dogs and other clawed beasts. However, flooring deserves valuable attention and care just like any other home décor elements. With the introduction of new technologies, floors can now be made more tough and safe yet stylish. Naresh Maheshwari lists some interesting facts about laminate flooring.
- In order to choose the right laminate flooring colour, you need to take into account the colour of the furniture in that particular room. Ensure that the colour you choose for that room can bear the traffic the floor will encounter.
- Keep the placement of the laminates in mind while choosing the colour. The wrong colour or the wrong finish can disturb the harmony in the space. For example, light-colored laminate floors are not suited for areas where there is more foot traffic.
- If you are confused whether to use laminate in a particular location, consider things such as price, lifecycle, maintenance requirements and durability of the floor.
- It is not uncommon to find at least one room fitted with laminate flooring in a house because more people are becoming conscious about home décor and want their home space to look good. Rustic colours and dark shades are popular colours in wooden floorings in India as well as abroad.
- With laminate flooring, any room can be transformed into a new beautiful room. It enhances the overall appeal of your home.
- Laminate flooring, engineered wooden flooring, and vinyl flooring are other flooring options and designs available in the market.
