Those precious bundles of joy, babies need the safest and cutest flooring options out there. Welcome your babies home to their nurseries for the first time, with the RIGHT flooring. Our flooring experts in Osage Beach can help you find what works best for you and your little one. Throughout this process you will discover what you must have in a nursery floor. If you have already started designing your nursery, we suggest creating a list of details pertaining to your design choices. This will help when trying to pair a floor with the wall decor, paint color, etc. In this blog, we will discuss the best flooring options to have in your baby's nursery.

Laminate

Laminate floors offer a in-expensive option that will fit your budget. Laminate comes in many styles and can imitate wood for a fraction of the price. It's pretty durable and scratch resistant which is great for when your little ones are playing around.

Hardwood

Hardwood floors always give a classic look and never really go out of style. They are long lasting and very durable. However, we would suggest buying a rug to:

• Dress up your child's room and give it some flair.
• Help protect the invest you've made into hardwood floors.
• Gives a softer cushion to a play area for your children.

Carpet

Carpet may seem like the obvious choice. It can protect your baby or toddler from bumps and bruises, but keep in mind it's harder to clean. Just be aware of how many spills and messes happen in nurseries. Carpet is a great choice for a nursery and is very kid friendly, but be ready to clean it regularly.

Dress Up Your Floor

Dressing up your flooring with a colorful rug can be the perfect accent your nursery needs. Our flooring design experts in Osage Beach can certainly help you decide in discovering what works best for your nursery. Darker rugs accent cool hardwoods (darker looking wood) the best and lighter rugs accent warm hardwoods the best (lighter looking wood).

Keep in mind that the room you choose for your baby's nursery could end up being their room until they turn eighteen. Choose a floor that is going to last, that will work with many design themes and wall colors. Your children deserved the best. Barefoot Floors is happy to help you welcome your new baby home by suggesting the best flooring options to have ready for them.

What floor do you want in your living room? What color do you want to paint your walls? The list can go on and on, but just do your research ahead of time and you will be just fine. We are going to discuss some tips regarding remodeling your home and on how to pair wall colors with different types of flooring the RIGHT way.

Pair Light Colors with Warm Hardwoods

Warm hardwoods consist of yellow, orange or red undertones. As you you go through your remodeling process, be sure to choose lighter colors for your walls, if you are going to use warmer hardwoods for your floors. For example, using a yellow or a lighter green or blue paint on your walls, paired with a warm hardwood floor would be a FANTASTIC choice. Pairing warm hardwoods with light colors in your NEW home can make you and your family feel at ease while relaxing in your freshly remodeled home.

Pair Dark Colors with Cool Hardwoods

Cool hardwoods consist of gray or taupe undertones. Cool hardwoods go GREAT with darker colors, such as dark blue, green, or gray. The possibilities are endless, as you know there are many color options out there. We at the best flooring store at the Lake of the Ozarks just recommend that you choose a darker paint for your walls if you are choosing one of our affordable hardwood floors in Osage Beach that are cool. Your home is your OASIS. Define your unique style and taste when remodeling your home. Show your guests your personality in your remodeling choices. Dark blue paint for you walls can represent knowledge and integrity. Black can represent elegance and formality. Dark green can represent ambition. Different colors have different meanings, so do your research when choosing.

Suggestions for Your Kitchen

Our furry friends are very cute and great company, but accidents do happen! It's important to know what your best options for flooring are, when owning a pet. We are going to discuss a few great options that can make your life easier when owning a pet that resides indoors.

Poor Choices

Carpet

Hardwood

In decades past, vinyl tile and flooring has come and gone in popularity. When you think of vinyl, though, you probably imagine the outdated flooring that wears easily and doesn't stand up to traffic well. We want to show you a new modern vinyl that changes ALL of those stereotypes. If you've been afraid of updating your home with luxury vinyl, here are a few vinyl myths debunked to ease your mind.

Myth: Vinyl Flooring is Outdated and Unattractive

This myth is probably one of the first things that keeps people from even looking into vinyl for their home - but this myth needs to be debunked! Vinyl flooring, whether in tile, plank or sheet form is now made to look like may different materials from wood to stone or tile. No matter what color or style you're trying to achieve, Barefoot Floors can help you find a vinyl flooring that will match.

Myth: All Vinyl Flooring is the Same

Not all vinyl flooring is the same. In fact, vinyl flooring has more diversity than many flooring types. Because vinyl flooring can be made in any color and pattern, it can mimic ceramic tile, wood, and any other pattern you can imagine. Not to mention, every type of vinyl flooring can vary depending on quality, durability and more. When looking for the best flooring at the Lake of the Ozarks, come to Barefoot Floors and let us show you what to look for.

Myth: Vinyl Flooring is Hard to Install

Vinyl flooring can actually be incredibly easy to install, and quick too. There are two types of vinyl flooring that are popular, one is floating, meaning it won't need an adhesive to stay put. It is generally secured by interlocking planks that are then held in place by trim installed above it along the wall (similar to laminate). You can also find vinyl flooring that is installed with an adhesive to keep it secured. Both types can be installed in as little as a few hours depending on the size of your room.

Myth: Vinyl is Cheap

Actually, some vinyl flooring can cost the same as tile and wood - but that doesn't mean you should just assume tile is a better choice. Many homeowners like the feel and the look of vinyl tiles over ceramic tiles, even if the price is the same. Vinyl is water resistant, like tile, but it is generally easier to walk on, softer to fall on or drop something on, is generally warmer than ceramic tile. It is also incredibly durable and may even require less maintenance. Unlike ceramic tile, you won't have to worry about tiles coming loose or grout coming out of the seams. If you need to replace pieces, it's generally quite easy.

Vinyl Flooring is a Great Choice for Your Home

When you want to upgrade to a flooring material that is attractive, durable, cost effective, and easy to install - luxury vinyl is the way to go. Of course, if you're looking for something else, the best flooring store at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you find the perfect flooring for your home. Come visit us!
