Home refurbishment is a big job; you do not just need to consider the walls or
your furniture, you need to give some attention to the flooring of your home. If
you live in a traditional British home, certainly the floors will all be covered
in carpet. Even if you live in a conventional Uk house, you always have a lot of
options available in the market to break the tradition. If we look to the warmer countries of Europe for inspiration you'll find ceramic tiled floors along with laminate and parquet flooring. Tiled floors are wonderful in hotter climates, but are also very useful for your kitchen and bathroom. A carpet is not practical for kitchensor bathrooms, as you'll be continuously trying to mop up spills that leave nasty stains on the carpet.
Tiling your floor gives a practical along with cooling solution to these areas of your home, a tiled floor always being exceptional for low maintenance, a fast wipe down with a cleaner or a cloth always leaving it clean and hygienic. Not just is it an excellent way to keep cool in the hot summertime, but also you never have to worry about germs and bacteria which are harboured in the carpet from spills.
Moving on to the lounge, again there are all sorts of options to carpet such as trendy parquet. This kind of flooring is fashionable, but unfortunately not so inexpensive, although a similar affect can be attained with floor coverings which are sold on rolls and are easily laid down as they're self-adhesive .
If you've made the decision to swap the carpets for
tiles, but are feeling the cold in winter, then you can remedy this quite simply
by adding some stylish rugs. These are great for areas like the lounge or where
children play, but have the flexibility of being removable in the hot summertime
and certainly washable. A conventional carpet harbors a lot of germs, and unless
it is cleaned with special detergents and a carpet cleaner it can actually be a
hazard to your house. When you are renovating your house, you can look on line at catalogues or visit your nearby hardware store for ideas on your floorings. You have to decide what's the greatest option for your individual circumstances and how you can refurbish your floors to offer you a refreshing break from carpets. Think practical and consider your pets or kids, and make the wise choice for renovating your house.
