Hardwood floors are simple, universal, and beautiful in any room, even in places where we often walk around with bare feet, like the bedroom. Don’t be discouraged from getting hardwood floors in your bedroom because you fear it will be cold and hard. There are many pros to having hardwood in your bedroom, and also a few tricks to softening up hardwood floors.
Misconceptions about hardwood floors
Hardwood floors are tough and durable, but that doesn’t mean they have to be tough on your feet. When you slide out of bed in the morning, the last thing you want is to hit a cold, hard surface. One major misconception about hardwood floors is that they are too hard, too cold, and too rigid for the bedroom. We want a soft and serene atmosphere in our bedroom sanctuary, and there’s no reason that beautiful hardwood floors can’t help you achieve that goal.
A treat for your feet
Some hardwood is softer than others and can be a treat for your feet. Choose a hardwood that has a little give, so that it’s not quite as hard and rigid on your bare feet. A softer wood that has more give will also be much more forgiving of pet paws and nails, disguising any tiny dents and scratches that may occur over time.
Universal style
The bedroom is one of those rooms that we are continually updating and renovating. Even a new bedspread can give your bedroom a brand new ambiance and style. Hardwood floors are practically universal, and will beautifully compliment just about any style that you decide is right for your bedroom. They can adapt to all the interior design changes you go through over time.
Calm and serene
Hardwood floors are easy to maintain, are serene in their nature and style and will bring a calm and ease that is great for the bedroom. They are also great for people with allergies, and won’t collect allergens the way that carpet will. Choose hardwood floors that are neutral in color and style for the most calming and serene effect.
