Which Flooring Type is Right for Your Child's Room?

Choosing the right flooring for your child’s room is an important step in designing a functional, safe, and enjoyable space. With so many options available, such as hardwood flooring and carpet, it can be hard to know which flooring type is best for your child’s active lifestyle. To make that decision a little easier, here’s an overview of four great options.

• Carpet: The major advantages of this flooring are comfort and durability. Carpet is soft enough for children to play on and resists stains that inevitably appear in a child’s room. To prevent dirt and allergen build-up, carpets should be cleaned often. 
   
• Laminate: Although it appears similar to wood, laminate is a combination of plywood and plastic coating applied over a photograph. Laminate is low-maintenance and can be installed over existing floors. Many new laminates are available in fun colors and patterns that you can choose to make your child’s room more personal.
   
• Hardwood: In addition to providing a classic, clean look to your child’s room, hardwood flooring also offers long-term durability. Food and drink spills can be easily mopped up, and hardwood flooring can be refinished multiple times during its lifespan. For comfort, accent carpets can be added for children to play on.
   
• Vinyl: Good-quality vinyl flooring can last up to twenty years and is resilient against stains and scratches. It is typically backed by layers of felt and foam, which make it a comfortable and safe option. Like laminate, vinyl flooring offers many colors and designs for you and your kids to choose from.
