Flooring for the Festive Season!

As the holidays are around the corner, home owners will therefore have the excitement of decorating their homes for the festive seasons. Especially in Asia countries like Singapore, the number of households moving into new HDB flats, private apartments and houses is on the a rising trend as well. 

So the question is, how can we dress up our flooring for the festive season? Well, below are 3 easy tips to look at:

1) Easy Maintenance

Entertaining of guests on a daily basis is tiring; especially after the party is over, there will be lots of cleaning up to do! Hence, choosing a flooring that is highly easy to maintain is important. It saves time and 'energy'. One characteristic of a easy-to-maintain is its high water resistance level. Washing on solid wood flooring need to be careful especially when water may damage the edge of the wooden floor. However, for high water resistant, home owners would have a peace of mind.

2) High S.I.S Standard

A good 'festive' flooring should have high S.I.S standard. (Slip, Impact, Stain). Slip resistance on the flooring can assure and re-assure safety at the premises especially when the family has young children and the elderly. Good impact resistance is important as it reduces fall impact of objects and human by adding a safety net; that is a cushion effect on the floor. As for stain resistance, well we all know no parties will have without wines, drinks and food. Good flooring with high stain resistance helps to ensure simple stains from the party food and wines can be easily removed. Hence, look for flooring with these S.I.S standard! 

3) Right Colour Combination

Unlike sofa cushions and curtains, we can't always change the colour of our flooring as and when we are pleased. (Too costly to do that!) Hence choosing the flooring from the start is important. Flooring with abstract designs are difficult to maneuver to suit the different kind of living style for the festive seasons. Ceramic tiles or parquet may appear to be either dull or complicated. Hence, choose the flooring colours and designs that suit your style as well as the mood that you wish to go for the festive interior. Go with wood colours; or plank-like flooring that gives a good overall feel to your interior. They are "safer" in terms of colour matching with your festive-like furnishing and decorations.

Just remember these 3 simple flooring tips and you will definitely decorate a nice looking interior haven for your home this coming festive season!
