Are you thinking of upgrading your bedroom? Well, the flooring is always the first place you should start – your floors are the foundation of your home, so choosing the right flooring is an integral part of making your home your haven. There are so many options to choose from, which can make it hard to make a final decision, but that’s okay! As the experts in the trade, we’re here and ready to help you by breaking down your options.

What You Want in Your Bedroom

The ultimate decision you make regarding your bedroom flooring should be guided by how you want your bedroom to look and feel. This is a special room, a private room just for you, so you should feel safe and comfortable every time you enter. To achieve this, your bedroom should be:

Cosy

When thinking about cosiness, some people think about rain falling across windowpanes and warm cups of tea, others think about warm hugs and soft blankets, and others still think about cleanliness and quiet. Whatever cosiness is to you, you want to reflect that in your bedroom. Doing this will make falling asleep easier and waking up less harsh.

Comfortable

You may think that comfort is just another form of cosiness, but comfort goes further than that – it's a sense of safety and calm that allows you to release all your stress. To achieve this, your bedroom needs to be a haven away from the rest of the world, a place where you can simply be. This is why it’s recommended to keep bedrooms as private zones in your home, reserved exclusively for the people who sleep in them.

Stylish

While others won’t be seeing your bedroom too often, it’s still important to keep it looking good for you. Creating a bedroom that suits your style will make it a room you love being in, because it’ll be a space you love looking at. So, when choosing flooring, paint, decorations, and furniture for your bedroom, make sure it all fits with your personal taste.

Carpet for Your Bedroom

Carpet has always been a popular choice for bedrooms. Why? Because it’s the softest flooring choice on the market, and softness is what most people gravitate to when choosing something cosy and comfortable.

If carpet is the flooring type you’ve envisioned for your bedroom, then you need to consider:

Fibre Material

Different fibre materials for carpets, like wool, nylon, and polyester, have different benefits to consider. So, what do you want to prioritise in your bedroom carpet? Natural fibres like wool add an extra level of warmth, but synthetic fibres like nylon and polyester are typically easier to clean and maintain. Cost should also be a consideration if you’re renovating or building on a budget!

Pile Height

Pile height is dictated by the height of the fibres in your carpet, with longer fibres created a higher height! Higher pile carpets are more plush, giving them the softest underfoot feel, while shorter pile carpets are easier to walk on for people who need mobility aids and are easier to clean.

Colour

Carpets come in a whole range of colours, so the world is your oyster! The colour you pick should be reflective of your style, there are no wrong choices.

Hard Flooring for Your Bedroom

We’ve been talking a lot about cosiness and so you might find it strange that we’d now suggest hard flooring as an appointment option for your bedroom, but you can still achieve a cosy feeling even without the underfoot feel being soft. You’ll find hard flooring, including timber, hybrid, vinyl, and laminate, is perfect for your bedroom if:

Warm Tones

Buying hard flooring with warm undertones makes the whole space appear warmer and more inviting, exactly the feeling you want in your bedroom. The warmth comes from the undertones, the hint of reds, oranges, and yellows make the whole floor seem warm.

Beautiful Style

The main priority for your bedroom flooring is whether you love it. If you love hard flooring and think it’s the most beautiful style of flooring, then it’s what you should choose for your bedroom. Doing this will ensure you’re happy every time you enter your bedroom and see the gorgeous flooring you chose.

Rugs for Your Bedroom

Once you’ve picked your flooring, we recommend picking a rug! Rugs are a great way to enhance your bedroom by adding a touch of style, comfort, and cosiness.

We’re here to help you pick your bedroom flooring, so we won’t spend too much time on rugs, but just use this as a reminder that the right rug will tie your whole room together.
