Ditch the Carpet: 12 Bedroom Flooring Options

Eucalyptus is the most widely planted and one of the fastest-growing hardwoods, which makes it an environmentally and budget-friendly flooring choice without cutting back on style. In this modern bedroom designed by Troy Beasley, the dark eucalyptus flooring creates a stark contrast against the white and bright yellow furnishings, creating a calm, elegant ambiance.

The smooth surface of concrete flooring enhances any design style and emits a polished look. Its stain- and dust-resistance and nontoxicity make it great for families with pets and people with allergies. Pangaea Interior Design carried the sleek, concrete look to the walls and ceiling for a unified look in this contemporary bedroom. Exposed piping gives the space a true loft style, and radiant heated flooring is a simple way to keep your toes warm during winter while saving on your energy bill.

If you live in a warm climate, choosing tile for your bedroom floor will keep you cool. Easy installation and cleaning make it a low-maintenance floor, and you can simply change the look by painting it. Designers Thom Oppelt and Lori Venners chose neutral-toned, hexagonal tiles to give this bedroom a distinct Old World design style.
