Comfortable flooring is important in every room of the house. The type of floor needed is dependent on the room that you want to put the floor in. The bathroom usually requires some kind of stone flooring like ceramic, porcelain or granite. However, some homeowners will put wood floor in the bathroom, especially if young children are not a part of the household. The chief objection is the avoidance of water which can spoil the wood. The same could be said of the kitchen. But again, homeowners do put wood in the kitchen. The bedroom is another matter. Carpet is excellent for s

oftness and comfort, but can be a haven for dust and dirt. So if allergy is a factor then wood or laminate, not stone, would be the better option. The basement is also a prime area for consideration. Basements can be cold at times and should be paid special attention. If the basement is finished then the same criteria will apply where stone, carpet, wood or laminate can be used.
