We’ve covered most parts of the home’s interior, we’ll try and come up with cheap decorating ideas for the outdoors next but for now, we’ll focus on one important aspect of decorating on a budget: flooring.
We’ve made a number of posts about flooring like our floor buying and floor installation series. Today, we’ll look into getting the right type of flooring to meet your needs and other requirements.
1. Vinyl
Vinyl flooring is one of the more popular choices when you want to renovate flooring on the cheap. Some big box stores carry private label brands and renovating a room of about 6×8 will cost bout $20 only. Plus, you can save more by installing it DIY style.
Vinyl is ideal for kitchen improvements or in places where there are great chance of moisture.
2. Linoleum
Linoleum is eco-friendly, durable and now comes in trendier designs. If you have the right tools and measurements, installation can be fairly easy too.
If you prefer to be more environmentally adept, then linoleum is definitely for you since they are made from all natural raw materials.
3. Laminate
Laminate flooring is perhaps the most recommended flooring product when it comes to do it yourself installation as it offers a lot of choices, light on the pocket and easy on maintenance.
Laminates come in standard planks and wide planks as well as different textures imitating either wood or natural stone flooring.
4. Area Rugs
Area rugs are also another way to save on flooring expenses and yet allows you to highlight or draw sections in your home. They are cheap and you don’t need to fuss about a lot of things during installation.
5. Carpet Tiles
A great substitute to area rugs, carpet tiles offer versatility in terms of design and patterns and convenience in installation since some already have pre-attached adhesive. Further, these are washable and can be installed without expert knowledge or experience.
