Do you Have Hardwood Flooring?

Do You Have Hardwood Floors throughout Your House?

Carpet is becoming less prevalent in many homes today. Most people prefer hardwood floors. Many people find them more accessible to keep clean and like them because they do not hold as much bacteria as carpet. Hardwood floors are beautiful, and they do not stain as quickly as carpet. Not all people prefer hardwood floors over carpet. Many people prefer carpet because it’s softer and seemingly easier to clean since no mopping is involved all they have to do is run a vacuum cleaner over the top of it. This, however, does not give the deep down clean only a surface clean. Families who have small children sometimes prefer carpet because young children tend to slip and slide on hardwood floors which can be dangerous and falls are not as cushioned on hardwood floors as on carpet.

How to Spruce up Your Hardwood Floors

People who prefer hardwood floors tend to want a little bit of contrast on those floors. The best way to add a bold pop of color to your floor is to add a rug. A rug not only adds visual contrast, but it also adds textural contrast to your hardwood floors. Unless you have heated hardwood floors, you will find that during the winter time they can be freezing so it is nice to add a rug to particular areas of your home like the living room and the bedroom which can help provide a warm place for walking. Rugs and runners also help to protect the hardwood floor from furniture and scuff marks that can be caused by tables, chairs, couches, and tables, beds, etc. This does not mean that you should completely cover your hardwood floors but adding a rug or two to your hardwood floors will really help to invigorate a space.
