We all know carpet is far from child-friendly: the rough surface, the way it's almost impossible to clean when something gets spilled (as it inevitably will), and the fact that - aside from opting for a dark, uninspiring shade - there's not a lot you can do to stop the marks building up.
But there's a solution! This article will examine the benefits and styles of laminate and wooden flooring, so you can create the perfect space for your kids to enjoy.
Laminate and wooden flooring is a great choice for kids' rooms, and the areas they play in. It's provides a durable surface that can easily be wiped clean. As long as spills are wiped up properly, it needn't be a slippery surface either.
This type of flooring is great for controlling allergens like dust and pet hair as the smooth surface means grime has nowhere to hide, and you can easily clean it away.
Pale laminate flooring is a fantastic choice for modern homes, as it creates that beautiful airy minimalist look. Light flooring looks great with crisp white walls, and wall stickers or a bright block-coloured feature wall will really to bring the room to life, making it the perfect place for the kids to play. Such a contemporary room can be filled with toys in all the colours of the rainbow and still look fresh and modern - which is great news for anyone who wants to avoid the dreaded cluttered look!
Create a more timeless look in the rooms children use with richly-coloured wooden flooring. This is a great investment as it could add value to your property and, thanks to its versatility, you can change the décor as your child grows up without the need to redo the flooring. Just add rugs to change the style, or paint the walls to completely revamp the room.
Why not dedicate the décor to the kids? Far from detracting from your home's overall style, it's a great way to bring some fun into your house! Child-inspired décor will not only create a room that the kids love - it's sure to brighten up your day too!
At Topps Tiles we have created some gorgeously-patterned laminate flooring that's ideal for just that.
