A new year, a new floor!

January is the perfect time to make changes, and if revamping your home has made its way onto your New Year’s resolutions list, then installing new flooring should be a priority. Capable of transforming the entire tone and aesthetic of your interior, a simple yet stylish finish could be the breath of fresh air that’s needed.

Here are just three of the reasons why it might be time to rip up your carpet and replace it with a chic oak alternative…

1. Oak flooring is cleaner and more hygienic

One advantage of replacing your aged carpets with oak is that it will help you create a cleaner and healthier interior, especially if you’re an allergy sufferer. Unlike carpets, which can trap harmful particulate matter, wood floors leave nowhere for this to hide, and can be easily swept and cleaned to keep them immaculate and improve your home hygiene.

2. Oak flooring is lower maintenance

Oak flooring has another big plus point in its favour: it requires minimal maintenance. Largely resistant to spills and stains, it is unlikely to get scraped, scratched, scuffed, dented, or damaged, meaning that it won’t need to be replaced for many years. What’s more, it can easily be cleaned and polished with a mop, rather than needing regular attention from the hoover. If you want to make a simpler life for yourself in 2017, installing oak floors could be the perfect place to start.

3. Oak flooring creates a timelessly elegant aesthetic

A lot of people appreciate the benefits mentioned above, but this is not why they choose to replace their cosy carpets with oak flooring; more often, it’s to do with how it looks. Most of us see the New Year as a time to reflect and organise ourselves, and for those wanting to create a chic and sophisticated interior, an oak floor can be the perfect accompaniment to your design aspirations. Whether you choose solid, engineered or long and wide oak flooring, your home will look aesthetically pleasing. Oak flooring is available in a wide range of colours, consistencies, designs, grains, and patterns, meaning that you can make a truly unique choice to complement your home.
