The best thing about timber floors, and not carpet
February 7th, 2010
Personally I have always been a big fan of timber floors, and I find it difficult to see that other people just don’t feel the same way. Have you ever went into someone’s apartment and looked on their floor? Of course you have, but here is the bigger question. Have you ever gone into someone’s apartment, looked on the floors and said” I don’t like their cheap carpet. I don’t know about you but I have, sometimes it’s just best to stick to other luxuries, like timber floors. Now of course not all timber floors are as great as each other.
Just like different types of wooden floors, there are other versions and less good versions. However realistically although there are different versions I would say that they do not differ alot. I would suggest that you get whatever version you feel that will look great in your home.
When buying your timber floors you should think about what part of the apartment that the timber floors will be going. This will show you what colour you would want. The darker colours of timber floors and most flooring look best in my opinion, you should look for the best ones.
The ideal places to have light coloured timber floors are places in your home like the kitchen. This is because kitchens usually have big windows, therefore allowing the light to shine onto the sides and generally bounce around the place; this is why I have pale timber floors, in this space. cheap carpet can sometimes look decent I have had timber floors in the living room previously and it has sometimes looked wonderful here too. I have often gone for a white colour to go with the color of my walls too. However, all shades of timber floors seem to work very well in the bedroom from my own experience. If you are unsure then just trust your instinct and pick one that you like that look of.
