Wooden Flooring - Back To Basics

Many people want the space that they live in to be functional in its design. Basic form and functional design is a great way to ensure that your home is clean and tidy and not cluttered with lots of objects and unwanted furniture. Wooden floors play a big part in this ideal. Design basics are often historically found in Scandinavian design and in this part of the world one of the most important materials is wood. Both Finland and Sweden produce sustainable wood and wood is a big part of their manufacturing industry. It is also the inspiration for a lot of the design that comes out of this part of the world. Wood is what inspires patterns and trees inspire design and decoration. What is often seen as basic design here is something that is highly prized in Scandinavia and also something that is a really practical environmentally friendly option when it comes to everyday living.

Wooden floors are something that can transform a home from fussy and messy into functional, clean and tidy. A wooden floor gives a base from which you can design your home. It is a neutral colour (unless you get highly patterned knotted wood such as walnut or olive) which suits most colour palates and brings warmth and cosiness to a room. Having a wooden floor negates the need for a carpet. Carpets although lovely to walk on when new are a dirt trap for dusts and often harbour odours meaning that after a while you feel as if you home is never really clean.

Wooden flooring also works well with minimal design. This is very obvious in modern flats where space is at a premium. Having copious amounts of furniture is not practical, neither is having a shag pile carpet. Wooden floors are easy to maintain. A wipe round with a wet cloth or brush and you are good to go - your place is clean. In fact a wooden floor is ideal for people with lots of things to do and little time to do them.

Wooden flooring does not wear as quickly as a carpet. Buying a bespoke made wooden floor will mean that even after ten or twenty years you can sand it down and re varnish it - something that you definitely can't do to a carpet!
