For busy families with kids and pets, it’s important to consider which flooring material is best suited for and durable enough to handle tots’ toys, and pets’ paws while also providing impeccable style. Here, are our top picks for every room in the home.
Hardwood Floors – For playrooms and bedrooms, hardwood floors offer lasting strength while enhancing a spaces warmth and beauty. Since wood also acts as a good insulator, hardwood floors are actually warmer than other floors. Plus, it’s easy to clean and maintain and doesn’t collect dust, pollen, or mold (good for children with allergies). Lighter colors such as Palermo European White Oak and Lucca Rustic European White Oak are great for heavy-traffic areas and also make a room appear cleaner. Hardwood floor options with a distressed finish such as Vasto and Ravenna hide scuffs and scratches well. See Arimar’s array of hardwood floors, offered in numerous colors from light grays to dark browns and also available in wide-plank options.
Engineered Hardwood Floors – For kitchens and basements, engineered flooring lends a versatile, highly durable alternative that will stand up to time. Engineered flooring is made from real wood; however, unlike solid wood flooring–which is made from one piece of wood– engineered hardwood is actually made up of three or more layers of wood. This carefully constructed multilayer process also makes engineered flooring resistant to moisture and humidity, furnishing a superior selection for spaces where light moisture might be present.
