Best Bedroom Flooring Options and Ideas

January 27, 2023, by: Jamie Sandford

In the bedroom, warmth, comfort and quiet are the highest priorities when choosing flooring. You also want the floor to be beautiful. To meet these goals, you’ve got several outstanding bedroom flooring options from which to choose.

This Home Flooring Pros guide lists the most popular bedroom flooring choices.

• Carpeting – Carpet flooring comes in a diverse array of styles, textures, colors and patterns. It is warm on the feet and helps to insulate the bedroom from noise. It’s the top choice for bedrooms.
• Natural Hardwood Flooring – Upscale homes often include solid hardwood or engineered hardwood flooring in the bedroom. Prices are affordable enough that most homeowners can now consider it. Styles range from very traditional products like wide-plank, stressed floors to more contemporary natural hardwood floors with narrower planks and cleaner lines. Bamboo flooring can be considered in this category too.
• Laminate Flooring – Laminate is a great alternative to hardwood. It costs a bit less and is very durable. The use of area rugs or runners for hardwood flooring and laminate flooring will help reduce noise and keep bare feet warmer.
• Cork Floor Tiles – This material is ideal for bedrooms because it is soft and warm. It is also hypoallergenic and resistant to bacteria. Today’s cork flooring for a bedroom comes in a great selection of styles and colors.
• Tile Flooring – For those of you lucky enough to live in a warm climate bedroom floor tiles can be a great idea. Cool and stylish, the options are endless, check out our Mediterranean floor tile article.
