What coverage is best to do in the bedroom: we make the perfect floor

There is a place where a person spends more time than at work or leisure. This is at least 8 hours a day, a third of your life. And this is a bedroom.

At night, during sleep, the body is relaxed as much as possible, all its functions are updated and gain new strength, and the success of the next day directly depends on how productive the rest will be. Why today there are so many various techniques, video courses and books on the theme of “healing night”. But only few people pay attention to the interior of the bedrooms, namely, decoration materials and flooring.

Bedroom Floor Requirements

But the fact that the bedroom floor is designed not only to give comfort in the evenings and create an atmosphere, but to bring some comfort after waking up. So, no matter how beautifully the new laminate shines with cleanliness, devoid of any "dust collectors" in the form of rugs, standing in the morning with bare feet on it will be unpleasant. And there are many such nuances. Therefore, in order to determine which floor can be considered ideal for a bedroom, let's list the basic requirements for it:

• Aesthetics. The mood in the morning should not be spoiled by the ridiculous appearance of the floor covering.
• Soundproofing. Noisy “larks” already love to bother “owls” sleeping until morning, and it is better to eliminate loud stomp by the bed.
• Environmental friendliness. The resting organism should not be poisoned all night, but, on the contrary, be restored.
• Comfort. Such a coating is simply obliged to cause a feeling of comfort and home.
• Antistatic. Dust is difficult to drive out from under the bed, and it is better not to breathe it all night.
• Anti-skid. In the morning, the human body is awkward, and after a shower, slipping is completely simple.
• Fire fighting. Yes, it just seems that falling asleep with a cigarette in your hands is suicide. But, unfortunately, many do just that.
• Heat. The cold floor in the morning is the very first and unpleasant impression of the day.

On the other hand, the flooring in the bedroom is a luxurious space for creativity. After all, in this room:

• walk very little, and therefore you can not worry about abrasion;
• no increased humidity;
• objects, especially sharp ones, do not fall at all;
• children do not play, and adults do not walk in sharp heels.

Pure wood floors: achieving 100% environmental friendliness

For a bedroom, a wooden floor is simply the perfect option in terms of environmental friendliness and aroma design. The slight smell of a tree always has a good effect on sleep, and walking on this floor is also very comfortable.

Here is an example of a rustic wooden floor device:

• Step 1. Take a dry wide board, preferably oak. Width 250-300, thickness from 50 cm.
• Step 2. We plan and mill on the edges.
• Step 3. We collect on the pins in the shield. You can use screws.
• Step 4. Grinding.
• Step 5. We cover with a wax-based impregnation.

By the way, you need to cycle a wooden board only once every few years. And for the bedroom, it makes sense to choose expensive and fragrant wood:

The wooden floor in a new way: what to choose?

The modern construction market is pleased to provide flooring from environmentally friendly wood, and even with convenient grooves for installation and even a moisture resistant base. So, a simple person among them is used to distinguish between a massive, parquet and engineering board. But in fact, massive is a type of parquet, it is simply made of solid wood and differs from a simple board only in ridges and grooves on the sides. But the parquet board in its pure form consists of three layers.

So, this is what a modern parquet board consists of:

• Top layer: hard or valuable wood, malleable for sanding and coated with oil or varnish.
• Middle layer: transverse bars of softwood, which help to neutralize the expansion of the upper and lower layers when humidity and temperature fluctuate. There may also be various connecting elements.
• Bottom layer: spruce or pine plywood in 2-3 rows. It helps the parquet board to last longer and not bend over time.

Here's how to stack it:

Previously, it was fashionable to lay expensive parquet in the bedrooms - it did not wear out as much as in other rooms, and it was more appropriate here. Here are just a creak from him little could please. And today instead of him - natural massive board:

Engineering flooring for the bedroom is also good. No dirt or stains adhere to this, patterns delight with their naturalness, and the wood itself with environmental friendliness. Another such board is called designed or constructed. Today, these boards are made in stele elegant parquet flooring or in the form of individual planks that can be combined.

Cork with bedroom: a paradise for the spine

But cork is suitable for such a room, no worse than wood. Moreover, modern manufacturers apply pretty nice patterns and prints to it. And on a print cork flooring, the picture was not made with a stretched non-ecological film - on the contrary, the image is printed directly on the cork, and then it is varnished.

And, most importantly, cork has valuable soundproofing properties. But right away, let’s dispel the myth: if you put a cork on the floor so that there is less noise in the bedroom, then your neighbors from below will be quieter. For you, the difference will be that the steps of a person, and especially an animal, will become less audible. Listen to how the dog runs through the laminate - the clatter is still the same!

The cork is also strong and flexible, and in its pure form is absolutely environmentally friendly. It is absolutely fireproof: even at high temperature it simply smolders without emitting any harmful substances. And so that there are no traces of furniture on it, just put felt under the legs of those.

And just in the bedroom you can put not a glue plug, which contains a lot of unnatural impurities, but a more natural one - because in this room she no longer needs to be afraid of moisture:

And the fact that the cork is too rough and even tears socks with tights is a myth. Just after coating with varnish, the cork needs to be sanded, and only after that apply the next layer. And if at the same time varnish dust is not removed, there will be roughness.

If you still like the cork, but you don’t want to order a special print for it, and the usual texture doesn’t look interesting, then try this option:

Genuine leather: in fashion - exclusive

An interesting option with leather floors for a bedroom. This is a real work of art. But the styling of the skin by its technology is quite complicated - it is better to invite a specialist for this purpose.

A little help. Since ancient times, leather has always been and remains to this day a high-quality, natural and stylish material. In its properties, it looks like a cork, and walking barefoot is also nice. So that genuine leather does not deteriorate over time, Hoatcoating varnish is applied to it - it gives this coating a wear resistance class of 33 and is considered one of the highest quality. Such a floor looks rich and solid.And to make such a reality just just in the bedroom - in other rooms, he will not live long.

Perhaps a combination such as cork + skin. The floors in the bedroom are soft, and at the same time, not as monotonous as a simple cork.

In addition, unusual floor coverings are in fashion, especially in natural materials. And laying such is extremely simple:

Carpet: focus on comfort

The carpet in the bedroom is able to give much more warmth, coziness and comfort than always other coatings combined. Designers are especially fond of this coating: it is easy to apply the desired image on it, and its volume allows you to simulate grass.

This coating was invented relatively recently - only half a century ago. And today it consists of a main bonding layer and a pile. You can buy a carpet for your bedroom with both natural and artificial pile.

So, what does it consist of modern carpet? The base can be woven and non-woven. Unfortunately, natural jute is being used less and less today. On the contrary, more and more often polypropylene takes its place - cheaper, practical and durable.

Non-woven base is made of polyester, "lace material", or fleece. Fibers are attached to it, which are bonded with a special primer: latex, polyvinyl acetate, polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride. But we are more interested in the pile. So, today coconut, bamboo, jute, silk, cotton, sisal and wool are used to create a natural carpet. But artificial - made of polyamide, polypropylene or polyester.

Here's how easy it fits:

So, the most suitable for the bedroom is a carpet made of wool and bamboo. Wool has excellent heat and sound insulation, fireproof and environmentally friendly. But, unfortunately, it accumulates static electricity and poorly resists fungi and mold. That's why today manufacturers add 20% polyamide to the wool carpet.

A carpet with a frieze is also good for bedrooms - a long curled pile. You will have the feeling that you are walking along the back of a ram. But the most expensive and, at the same time, popular style of carpet for bedrooms is Saxony. His pile is made from thermofixed twisted yarn, and he is especially appreciated in Western Europe.

Create entire volumetric drawings on modern carpets and carpets. The loops in them are of different heights, making it easy to create a fashionable 3D effect. Imagine how beautiful and cozy your bedroom can become.

Marmoleum: a new era in the interior of the bedroom

You will be interested to learn about the new eco-friendly coating - marmoleum. Designers are even sure that in the near future this view will supersede all others. It is absolutely environmentally friendly, natural and inexpensive. It has bactericidal and hypoallergenic properties. At the same time, the floor is warm enough to feel, it does not need to be additionally heated. Does not fade with time, does not warp, does not swell from moisture - a fairy tale! And the service life of the marmoleum is as much as twenty years.

You can purchase marmoleum of any color: wood, stone, a certain pattern. And the styling is extremely simple:

The first semblance of marmoleum appeared in the XVII century - in Europe. Jute - a rough and durable burlap - was greased with various hardening compounds and soaked in oil. It turned out a durable and environmentally friendly floor covering. Over time, large-scale production began to produce only PVC-based linoleum, but the demand for everything natural returned the practice of flooring from natural materials.

The only negative: the marmoleum is quite fragile, but for a bedroom with its low traffic it is usually not a problem. Just be careful when buying: if the packed marmoleum was dropped during transportation, it will be difficult to stack it later.

Bulk floor for a bedroom - only with creativity!

Another fashionable and unusual option for the bedroom is the bulk floor.This is the most popular coverage of the American continent: in hospitals, kindergartens and residential buildings. For bedrooms, they usually choose a dazzling white floor as a sign of crystal clearness. But, if over time its monotony begins to annoy - it is painted:

Such a floor is 100% environmentally friendly, although it is also 100% unnatural. But it is recommended for complete health safety for medical and child care facilities. He does not emit any odor or harmful volatile substances. It serves for a long time, has anti-slip properties and is easy to clean. At the same time, it feels warm enough like linoleum.

You can make this floor glossy or matte. The first simply sparkles with its novelty and unusualness, but every speck of dust will be noticeable on it. Do not forget that he will mirror all the furniture, so that pure white color still does not work. But matte is much more practical to use.

In addition, the bulk floors themselves can be absolutely any shade, also with the addition of decorative chips or sparkles. And today it has become especially fashionable to create thanks to the flooded drawing 3D optical illusion flooring: with dolphins, waterfalls and fish. The wow effect of this, of course, is huge, but over time the floor will want to be covered with something. Although the tastes of all of us are different.

And if you want, you can get by with such a nice option:

Tiles and porcelain tiles - for underfloor heating

Less commonly, tiled floors are also used in the bedroom. Not only because of their environmental friendliness - ceramic tiles transmit heat well, and, in the presence of a warm floor system, the result exceeds all expectations. The only negative is summer, when even in the heat the coolness for the legs can be unpleasant. After all, at this time they do not start the warm floor.

Porcelain tile can be attributed to the same category. Natural material with valuable properties, beautiful colors and textures. But walking on porcelain stoneware is not always pleasant: because of too high stiffness there is an increased load on the spine. After a couple of minutes, the person just starts to get tired. It’s also a pity for those little things that accidentally fall from the bedside table to such a floor - they will immediately break or break.

But we will advise you to refuse the modern soft floor in the form of puzzles: while in many countries there are still discussions about the environmental friendliness and safety of this coating. Although walking on it is a real pleasure and it’s difficult to come up with something more organic for the bedroom, remember that you will have to breathe this every night. Therefore, if you are confident in the manufacturer - then it makes sense to take risks. But still sniff at your purchase - if there is a smell, then this risk is not justified.

Laminate flooring: just for style and warmth

The laminate in the bedroom, of course, looks neater and more expensive, especially if you have acquired dark colors. It serves quite a long time, but its physical properties are quite tough. And not too green.

But install as competently as possible so that such a coating does not creak and deform later:

Pleasantly warm to the feeling of PVC tile. From it you can make beautiful patterns on the floor, and they look no worse than other floor coverings. However, it is not as stiff as a laminate, and it is cheaper. In simple terms, PVC tile Is one that looks like flexible laminate, and quartz-vinyl. The second is more durable and more suitable for rooms where heavy objects are dragged along the floor. After all, she has 43 wear resistance class! Although they put this in the bedroom, it’s a matter of taste.

You can easily glue it with your own hands:

That's all! Good luck with your choice of flooring.
