Flooring is one of the hardest-working features of your home—it quite literally takes a beating day in and day out. Keeping this in mind, it makes sense to choose your flooring according to the needs of each area in your home. After all, different rooms serve different purposes, and what works for a particular area might not work so well for another. Local remodeling contractor DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Schaumburg can help you figure out which flooring works best for which room by providing you with this basic guide.

Kitchens & Baths

A kitchen has to serve two purposes. First, it has to make a great first impression since it’s often what guests first see upon entering your home. Second, it has to be able to cope with the high traffic it deals with on a regular basis. Considering these two requirements, porcelain tile is the obvious choice for your kitchen. Tiles are highly versatile and come in a wide range of styles. On top of that, porcelain tiles also require minimal maintenance. Just vacuum and mop away.

Porcelain tiles are also perfect for bathrooms due to their water-resistant features.

Living Room & Bedrooms

The living room faces various challenges. Foot traffic, pet claws and countless other assaults can take a substantial toll on any flooring. On top of all that, appearance is also a concern that needs to be addressed. You’d be hard-pressed to find any other flooring material that combines form and function better than hardwood. Just make sure your hardwood floors are sealed with a top coat or a water-resistant finish.

You can also use hardwood floors in the bedrooms. Add plush rugs to add warmth and up the style ante.
