Bedroom Flooring

More than any other room, your bedroom should be a sanctuary designed for relaxation and comfort.

Before selecting new flooring, consider your bedroom habits and how much time you spend there. Do you have kids or pets who might contribute to wear and tear? Do you get ready in your bedroom every morning, making a stain-resistant surface a priority?

Whatever your lifestyle needs are, there is a flooring option designed to support them, but before all that, let's look at some general features you'll want to see on your bedroom floors.

Practicality vs. Comfort

Bedrooms are primarily designed for rest and personal time. While durability and ease of cleaning are still important factors, comfort should take a leading role in your bedroom flooring decisions. Think about materials that feel good under your feet and create a cozy atmosphere.

Features You'll Want in Bedroom Flooring Include:

Softness, especially if you like walking barefoot
Warmth for those chilly mornings
Sound reduction for a quieter space
Style that reflects your taste and helps create a relaxing environment

Suitable Flooring Options

Carpet remains the classic bedroom choice thanks to its softness, warmth, and a wide array of colors and textures. Depending on your needs, you can find carpets that are fluffy and prioritize comfort, like polyester or wool.

If you are looking for something more durable and easier to maintain, nylon and olefin carpets are available. These carpets offer a solid level of comfort while being highly scratch—and stain-resistant.

Hardwood floors provide timeless elegance and are easy to maintain. They feel nice underfoot and offer superior acoustics, but consider adding large area rugs for a soft touch.

Another bedroom classic is a luxury vinyl plank (LVP) for a durable, water-resistant surface that can mimic the look of wood at a lower price. LVP has the most variety in designs and achieves the perfect balance between style and comfort while offering high durability and ease of maintenance.
