Your bedroom should be your oasis--a place to rest and relax. It’s important to make your bedroom a space you enjoy and seek for comfort, not a boring place to sleep. There are plenty of fun ideas out there for fun bedroom decorations, but some of our favorites are these cool bedroom floors. Some ideas for wooden floors for bedrooms range from painted floors to reclaimed wood. Hardwood flooring in these rooms can make any space unique.
Making Hardwood Flooring Fun
Hardwood flooring is not only designed to last, but it's also available in many different styles and can be laid in numerous patterns. If you want all of the attention on your beautiful hardwood floor instead of the other pieces in the room, these six fun ideas are the way to go. They'll make your bedroom very interesting indeed!
Idea #1 – Herringbone Patterns
Herringbone patterns are both unique and classic at the same time. Consisting of small rectangles of wood flooring laid at angles to one another to make a zigzag-like pattern, it creates an eye-catching look that will never go out of style.
While this type of flooring may take a bit longer to lay, due to the need to get the pattern correct, the extra effort is well worth it, especially when you complement the floor with some coordinating curtains and bed linens.
Idea #2 – Dark Wood Flooring
While choosing a very deep, dark wood flooring may not sound like a fun option, it can be, especially if the rest of the room is set up in light, contrasting tones. Picture the overall feel of a room with a dark wood floor, white walls, and gauzy linens and window treatments.
It sounds like an ideal place to rest and pretend that you're on vacation by the seaside, doesn't it?
Idea #3 – Alternating Board Colors
Choosing two different wood colors, both made of the same material and in the same overall tonal group, like a golden yellow and an amber red, can make for a very eye-catching floor. In fact, not only will this type of floor make the room fun and open up the possibilities for coordinating paint colors, furniture, and fabrics, but it also will look like something out of an upscale home tour, especially when polished to a glossy finish.
Idea #4 – Bamboo Flooring
Usually used in kitchens, due to its ability to withstand water, bamboo flooring also works well in a bedroom. The unique brown color that appears when the bamboo fibers are combined into floorboards is something that will really stand out, while also complementing the rest of your furniture at the same time.
Not only will a bamboo floor last for a very long time (and withstand spills and other things), but it can add a fun touch to the space, especially when you give tours and tell guests that the hardwood floor is made of the same material that panda bears and koalas prefer to munch on.
Idea #5 – Diagonal Patterns
There's no rule that states that your wood floorboards need to be installed in lines that run either north to south or east to west. Instead, you can start in one corner of the room and have them run diagonally to the outside corner, nearest the door. While this will cause some contrast with the flooring of your halllways or any adjacent rooms, the effect is exactly what you want – a cool pattern that draws attention to space and makes it different from everything else around it.
You can even choose to call even more attention to the diagonal lines by picking out a bedspread and pillow shams with a matching pattern.
Idea #6 – Unusual Shades of Stain
One of the best things about hardwood floors is the fact that their surfaces can be sanded down and stained giving you so many options! This makes it possible to have bedroom floors in just about any color.
Whether you prefer a light ash-gray color that looks like driftwood that just emerged from the ocean or a deep maroon-red hue, the results won't always look like the wood in its natural state, and there's nothing wrong with that. Changing the color of the stain to something unique will add a sense of uniqueness to the space.
Making Your Bedroom Hardwoods Fun and Stylish
As you can see, when it comes to beautiful hardwood flooring, there are many fun ways to make your bedroom look stylish. Laying the hardwood planks from Hardwood Bargains in different patterns, like herringbone, alternating colors, or going for a diagonal pattern, can make a big difference. Other options, such as choosing deep, dark colors, unusual shades of stain, and even the coolness factor of bamboo can help your bedroom stand out from the others.
