Use these ideas to choose flooring in your rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n The flooring<\/a> in your home needs to be stylish as well as must be able to withstand all the wear and tear it encounters on a daily basis. The type of flooring depends upon the needs of your family and is also effected by the presence or absence of pets in your family. There are plenty of options for you to choose from and this article provides some good ideas which you can use to select the perfect flooring<\/a> for each room in your house.<\/p>\n Read the complete to learn some great ideas for flooring in your house!<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n If your family tends to track in lots of mud and dirt:<\/strong><\/p>\n Protect your mudroom \u2014 and ultimately the rest of your house \u2014 by putting down easy-to-clean flooring that will also catch dirt. Interior designer Julia Buckingham suggests porcelain or ceramic tiles<\/a>, since they’re durable and low-maintenance. Simply sweep or vacuum them to clean up debris, and tackle bigger messes with a mop or Swiffer. A dark-coloured sisal or sea grass rug over the tile can help trap (and hide) the dirt, she adds. Just beware: Tile can crack if you drop something on it, so caution is necessary. And white grout can become discoloured if it’s not properly cleaned \u2014 but luckily, dark grout is pretty trendy right now.<\/p>\n If your kids act like little hurricanes in their playroom:<\/strong><\/p>\n Go for something that will be soft underfoot<\/a> so kids can sit, lay, and play. “I suggest a low, tightly woven \u2014 almost industrial \u2014 loop or cut area rug or wall-to-wall carpet<\/a>,” says Carolyn Forte, director of the Home Appliances and Cleaning Products lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute. “Look for something in an easy-to-clean fibre like polypropylene or nylon.” Buckingham also recommends the carpet tiles<\/a> from Flor, which can be arranged in all sorts of sizes and patterns. “You build with individual tiles that can be easily cleaned or replaced,” she says.<\/p>\n
