Choosing the right flooring for a kids bedroom can be a very difficult decision, you will need to consider durability, design and functionality. Furthermore, you must consider their stage of life because they grow up so fast! Therefore, it is extremely important to ask yourself how long your children’s flooring will realistically last or will It out grow their specific needs?
List of Things to Consider in Your Kids Room
- Age
- Gender
- Interests
- Durability (How long your chosen flooring will be required)
- Comfort
- Colour Scheme (Do you want to match the colours with the other rooms in your house?)
The first thing to consider when choosing your kids flooring for their bedroom is their age, carpet can be an excellent choice for an infants tummy time whilst being soft enough for them to explore and start taking a few steps and tumbles. However, on the other hand some people believe that having durable Luxury Vinyl Tiles and a fancy children’s rug may be a good option as LVT is makes cleaning up mess easier and it can help with their first steps by providing some much needed grip. Furthermore, it provides an excellent surface to cruise around in a walker. However, On the contrary how much time realistically will an infant be in their room?
Once an infant turns into a toddler there is no stopping them and their imagination runs wild, they will enjoy bright colours and the feel of different textures. Carpet can provide a cozy feel to their environment whereas LVT is good for cleaning up mess after activity’s that perhaps involves arts and crafts or the much dreaded slime and glitter!. If your little one has a room big enough you may wish to opt for the best of both worlds and have carpet on one side of the room and a little area of LVT for a small table and chairs for activities.
Gender may also influence your decision, for example an eight year old little girl will start exploring with make up, blusher and lipsticks and these can be hard to remove from carpet. Therefore, considering something that will be easier to clean may be an advantage.
