Many homeowners assume that tile is the go-to option for flooring, to the point where we see tiles everywhere, whether it’s in the kitchen, bathroom, or even the subway. However, just because tile is easy to maintain and it’s a great to look at, that doesn’t mean you have to design with it. So, what’s another flooring option to use? Wood. Many underestimate how easy a wooden interior is to maintain, especially in the bathroom.
Benefits of Adding Wood Flooring
More color depth
Beautiful light reflection
Softens ceramic finishes
Great overall feel
Although many would assume that they should add wood to the floors, it’s also great for the ceiling. However with that being said, you may be wondering about the humidity that accumulates in the shower area and how that could damage the wood. Well, as long as you have a proper working bathroom fan and a wooden interior that is properly finished, you should be alright.
Bamboo is a great flooring option for the environmentally conscious homeowner. If cared for properly, bamboo flooring is a very sustainable choice, and for those concerned with the chemicals used to treat wood, choosing a reliable manufacturer is the best way to ensure the bamboo was cultivated and treated in an eco-conscious manner.
While wooden floors are a great investment because of how long they last and how easy they are to maintain, the time will come where you’ll need to get those wooden floors either repaired or replaced. However, when you do repair those planks that may have gotten scuffed, or just worn down, or even if you have extra wood leftover from the new floors you installed, you don’t need to throw them out.
