Flooring design ideas for your bedroom

Pros : Soft and comfortable texture. Both non-slip and warm. An underlay for extra cushioning and sound buffering – in foam, rubber or felt padding – makes these floors much quieter and less dangerous.

Cons : It stains easily and will collect allergens, dirt and dust, as well as moisture. Can be a problem for pest control. Not very pet friendly and will require extra care and effort if you have small children. Ruins the flooring beneath it. It is warm in all weathers, which may not be suitable for all parts of India.

Pros : Wide range of styles, prints, colours and finishes. A much cheaper option than stone and hardwood. Easy to install and maintain. Highly durable with a low porosity and an impervious surface.

Cons : Tiles are highly prone to breakage during transport and installation; you will have to buy more tiles than are required for your floor space. Additionally, necessitates a good installation team. The grouting between the tiles will need regular cleaning and upkeep, which is both time consuming and high-effort. Even with frequent maintenance and care, tile has a shorter lifespan when compared to stone flooring.

Pros : A wide price range when it comes to grade, finish and pattern. Almost unlimited options to suit different budgets, décor styles and colour schemes for flooring. Most are relatively stain-resistant when finished and with appropriate maintenance, exceptionally durable. Given India’s tropical weather, stone, which stays cool for most parts of the year, is a great choice.

Cons : Even when used indoors in a low traffic area like the bedroom, stone floors do need to be professionally sealed every 4-5 years to maintain their durability and look. Some stone flooring, such as marble, is easy to scratch or chip, and prone to acidic discolouration caused by food spills or harsh cleaning agents; maintenance can be tricky. If you live in a colder region, having various bedroom carpets ideas will be necessary, to prevent cold feet yet avoid tripping hazards.

Pros : When well maintained and properly cared for, it’s durable and may never need to be replaced. More resilient than stone or tile flooring. Comes in natural shades to suit a variety of bedroom floor design ideas. Available at varying price levels to suit your budget. Creates a springy surface with more give than stone, that is comfortable to walk on. Stays cool in warm weather and warm in cool weather. Sustainable, and can be made from repurposed or recycled wood to increase its eco-friendliness.

Cons : Over time, wear and tear can cause noises such as creaks and squeaks. Additionally, wood floors have no sound-absorption value or insulation. Vulnerable to moisture and extreme weather conditions, they will require extra maintenance and care to avoid warping and deterioration of the wood. 

Pros :  Very resistant to scratches and other damage, and will quickly absorb liquids that are spilled upon the surface. While the addition of a carpet for bedroom floor décor, can add to your style, it isn’t needed as this natural material remains a comfortable temperature no matter the weather. Since there is a natural temperature regulation and comfortable feel to this flooring bed ideas can be more varied, with even floor level bedding being cosy throughout the year. Cons : As it only comes in earth tones, you do need to be careful about your colour choices for the rest of the room, which can be slightly limiting. As mentioned in the pro section, it will quickly absorb liquids, so you do need to be careful to wipe up any potential stains.

Red-Oxide Or Cement : A Rustic Feel in Bedroom Floor Design

While the use of more traditional flooring ideas for bedroom design like cement and red-oxide are no longer as prevalent, they remain a great choice for Indian homes when you take into consideration cost factors, durability and even beauty.

Pros : For bedroom flooring, these materials are extremely durable and easy maintenance. Oxide floors are cool to the touch, which makes them a great choice in warmer areas and tropical climates.

Cons : Finding experienced professionals who can create these floors to your specifications may be a little difficult. Your colour choices are limited. If the floor is improperly finished, the colour can bleed. Can be very slippery when wet and isn’t always the best fit for décor that is heavy on bedroom carpet design themes.
