Yes, you heard that right! After all the tiring, and frantic search to deck up your bathroom, here's the right place you've come to explore the best flooring options for your bathrooms.
It's quite a drag to look at the same thing year after year, isn't it? So it's time you look down and you look breathtaking because something fantastic shall lie under your slippers. Let's discuss the basics and the intricacies of designing the floor of your interest. Here are a few things you need to keep in mind :
- Consider the texture.
- Resilient and long-lasting
- Keep the palette satisfied
- Cost-effective
So these are the few things you need to consider while styling the floor of your washroom.
It is advisable that if you're going for say tiles or mosaic, please go for the matte finish look. In that case, the floor won't be slippery after a shower and you can avoid the risk of toppling over every time you are in there.
The next thing in order is to be careful to choose the brand. Make sure you're going for the best option out there in the market. The major criteria should be a long-lasting design and a resilient quality. Do not compromise with the standard of goods for the looks, or otherwise.
Now keep in check the color of the floor, be it a tile or a carpet for that matter.
Do not make a purchase because the thing looks good in the showroom. Always focus on the facts, what contrasts or suits your bathroom, the walls, and the other amenities.
Hence it's always a great choice to go for lighter shades and soothing colours.
And finally do not exceed the budget. Make sure to set one before planning the layout and then to stick to it as much as possible. If the arrangements are not cost-effective, it almost always drowns the purpose of renovation and modulation.
Now, moving on to the options you've got regarding the types of flooring one could apply to their bathrooms_
Ceramics and Porcelain-
These are the most commonly acquired and popular choice of tiles for one's bathroom. They keep the charges within the budget and are extremely resilient and waterproof. So consider this as the simplest choice out there!
But then make a good choice of the proper color and variety, and often which stands as a con for tiles, is the smooth finish. So choose something with a matte finish texture, which can avoid casualties for all members of the house, be it the aged or the kids.
Carpets-
Although this is the cheapest option with the largest cost-cutting, there are some other mentionable pros and cons to this feature.
As for cons, it becomes a little too tough to maintain them with all the moisture it soaks. There are chances of poor hygiene and wetness around the place as well.
But as for pros, you can't help but notice that they come in variant quality and finesse. You can get so many types of them from different colors to curls and fabric. So I leave it up to you to make the choice!
Stone floors- Well, that's a good option as well. You can explore your choices through various types of them, for instance, granite, limestone, or marble.
It will indeed enhance the aesthetics of the bathroom and they are quite durable, needless to mention water resistant and resilient to wear and tears. Damage is minimized and the beauty of the place is enhanced manifold. Maintenance is easy and a matte finish again can avoid the risks of slipping.
Vinyl or Concretes-
vinyl floors are the cheapest of them all along with inbuilt benefits like durability, strength, water resistance, and variance. They can actually resemble any of the natural wood floors or tiles or mosaics for that instance.
Trust me they are the biggest conman in the world because you wouldn't be able to distinguish between real ceramics and a vinyl with similar appearance. And all at a much lower expenditure.
The most popular ones available are VPC and SPC vinyl hardcore varieties. And would you believe me if I say they're scratch resistant too? Well, you better do!
Sealed concretes made especially for bathroom floors are a fair deal too. They can be stained and colored according to your personal preferences and taste.
So to conclude here, I'd say rather be fluid about your choice of flooring than to exert rigidity in choice. There's no reason not to go for vibrant and out-of-the-box ideas. In fact, it's supposed to be one of the most comfortable and warm corners of your home. At the end of the day make a choice that suits you well!
