We love hardwood floors in the bedroom. Having floors made from natural and organic materials are great in the bedroom where you want to create a peaceful and clean space. Here’s why you should consider cedar softwood floors in your bedroom.

The bedroom should be a sanctuary. It should be a place where there are peace and harmony. Wood floors will give your bedroom a warm and cozy feeling, but the wood itself will help keep the room cool. Using natural materials in the bedroom will make for better indoor climate, improving your sleep. The natural tones of the wood are neutral and subtle so that they won’t disrupt the rest of your interior bedroom design.
Using softwood for flooring
Cedar is a softwood which immediately makes people think that you shouldn’t use it for flooring. However, in rooms that don’t have a lot of foot traffic, a softwood, like Cedar, is a great choice. Softwoods are also a highly renewable wood that is native to North America, making cedar a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice of wood for your bedroom floors.

Challenges of cedar
One challenge you need to be aware of is the propensity to ding and dent. Since cedar is a softwood, it is more delicate than hardwoods. Cedar is more prone to dings and dents, but these little imperfections that appear over time are part of what gives your floors more charm and appeal. For more serious damage to your cedar floors, there’s always the option of sanding and refinishing.
