At some point, you’re probably going to remodel or upgrade your Aurora home in some way. You may want to update the bathroom tile or reface the cabinets. However, if you’re hoping to achieve a new look and feel within the house, it may be time to upgrade the flooring. There are thousands of choices, which can be daunting to many, which is why it can be helpful to learn a few tips and tricks to help you decide.
Budget
The budget you set will likely directly affect your flooring choice. For example, granite and hardwood will cost more than carpeting and tile. Therefore, you may want to determine how much you want to spend for each room (or the whole Aurora house) and then start deciding which options fit your needs.
Lifestyle
The lifestyle you lead can significantly affect your floors. Heavy traffic areas, such as kitchens and living rooms will need more durable products than bedrooms and private bathrooms. Likewise, you may want easy-to-clean and maintain choices for a busy lifestyle.
Kids and Pets?
Households with pets or children (or both) will need durable options because pets and kids are harder on the floors. Wood may be the best choice because they are easy to clean up accidents and spills, but nails and toys can cause scratches and dents. Carpeting may be harder to clean, but is softer for everyone to roll around on the floor. Likewise, rugs can be used on hardwood floors to prevent scratches.
Allergies
If you’re prone to allergies or asthma, carpeting may not be the best choice, as it can hold mold, dust, and other allergens. Wood, tile, and vinyl may be better.
