Kid-Friendly Flooring for Your Boston Home's Nursery

When planning your baby nursery flooring, there are many factors to consider, including comfort, allergenic effect, and cleanliness, as well as the flooring material.

Nursery flooring should be consistent with the overall style you have chosen for the nursery, as well as free of as many allergens and chemicals as possible. Furthermore, nursery flooring should be easy to keep sanitized and clean, non-slippery, noise absorbent, and durable. Nursery flooring should be resilient and provide cushion support for both baby and other family members. Floors must also be able to endure spills, toys, and heavy foot traffic.

Both carpeting and wood floors offer both advantages and disadvantages in a nursery. Carpeting creates a cushy play area and is more likely break an infant's fall than wood floors. However, carpets can store dust mites and can be a problem if your baby suffers from allergies or asthma. Carpet can also be harder to clean if a mess should occur. Wood floors are easy to clean and long-lasting. However, wood floor is not very forgiving and can be noisy when walked on.

Other flooring materials to consider for a baby's room include laminates, vinyl, and linoleum, as well as cork flooring. Cork provides a natural cushion and natural anti-bacterial properties.
