The design of the living room - the main room in the house - is a responsible event. Family holidays and friendly gatherings will always be a joy in a cozy and warm room, so do not neglect its appearance.

Particular attention should be paid to what will be the walls, ceiling and floor in the living room. The flooring in a room with high traffic should be wear-resistant, durable and not slippery. In addition, the material must be non-toxic and meet safety standards. The product itself and the compositions with which it is processed should not have a pungent odor.

The selection of high quality materials for flooring is huge. Choosing the perfect flooring for any interior is easy.

Consider some of the most popular designs.

Parquet

The most presentable and expensive coating is parquet. It has a lot of advantages, the main of which is the naturalness of the material. In addition, the parquet has excellent soundproofing properties.

The living room, the floor of which is lined with parquet, can be decorated in a classic style or in one of the modern directions. It is possible to create a unique pattern of elements of different colors and sizes. At the same time, the wishes and ideas of the owners of apartments on floor design themselves can be implemented in the finished project.

With careful care, the parquet will last quite a long time. If during operation defects appear (scratches, abrasions), the coating can be “reanimated”: sanded and varnished.

Parquet board

The classic option is to finish the floor with a parquet board. Such a coating looks expensive and elegant, despite the relatively low cost of the material.

Parquet board, as a rule, consists of three layers. The first (outer) layer is made from valuable tree species, the other two are from conifers, for example, from pine.

Temperature jumps and high humidity are not terrible for such a floor covering. However, it requires proper care. Clean the parquet board with a damp cloth (or sponge) without the use of abrasive cleaners. Do not fill such a floor with water in order to avoid delamination and deformation of the wooden coating.

Choose a laminate

Another popular material is laminate, a floor covering that is universal in many respects. Firstly, it is practical: it is easy to look after a laminate, pollution is removed without effort. Secondly, this material is environmentally friendly, so they can be covered with floors in almost any room, including in bedrooms and children's rooms. Also, the laminate is easy to install.

For various rooms, a special kind of laminate is used that can withstand certain loads. So, in living rooms, experts advise to lay a coating of a load class of 2-3. This is a middle class that can withstand sufficient loads. However, it is better to choose furniture for the living room with wheels, especially if the items in the headset are massive and heavy.

The combination of different colors - light and dark - is very harmonious. In this case, you can realize your ideas and make the design of the room unique.

Carpet

On the floor in the living room you can lay a carpet.Caring for such a coating is more difficult than for analogues from other materials, but modern household appliances cope with this problem. A washing vacuum cleaner is an excellent assistant in caring for the carpet, so you can not worry about dirt that is difficult to remove from the carpet. Nevertheless, people prone to allergies, it would be better to "equip" the floor in the living room with hypoallergenic analogues.

Linoleum

This is the most budgetary solution, but you should choose the so-called commercial linoleum. Such material is characterized by increased strength, therefore, withstands sufficient loads. Mechanical damage, dents and abrasions on it are formed in rare cases.

On the market there is a large selection of samples of various colors. Linoleum with a pattern for parquet, laminate or stone is popular. Such material will become a budget alternative to more expensive, natural coatings.

Alternatives

In addition to the above options, there are more "exotic" ones. This, for example, is a tile, porcelain tile or even marble tile. A large living room in the cottage can be laid out with granite. The option is costly, but its advantages speak for themselves.

First of all, this is an expensive appearance. The design of the floor in the hall with such material is original and very effective. Due to the variety of colors and textures, choosing a tile that matches the overall style of the room will not be difficult.

Under such a coating, you can lay a warm floor - this is another plus. The tile does not require special care, dust and stains can be removed without problems, a normal wet cleaning is enough.

Porcelain or tile is a durable material, with proper use, it will last for a long time.

A popular trend today is cork floors; produce such a coating from natural raw materials - tree bark. The floor of the cork is very warm, so it is optimal for laying in the living room.

Mix of several coatings

Color options allow you to create exclusive "compositions". You can also combine different types of materials. For example, a combination of tiles and parquet board or laminate looks spectacular.

Proper zoning of the room is very important. If the kitchen space is combined with the living room (or smoothly passes into it), you can lay out part of the room (directly the kitchen) with tiles, and the dining room-living room with a laminate or parquet board. Such zoning is functional and rational. To lay with a tile a space with increased humidity and temperature - at the sink and stove.

Choose the right color

A variety of color solutions allows you to choose the optimal shade that matches perfectly with the tone of furniture, wallpaper or accessories.

The assortment of such popular colors:

• white;
• the black;
• brown;
• beige;
• Gray.

With the competent combination of samples of different shades, for example, white and gray, or contrasting - black and white - you can create a unique pattern. The combination of brown and beige harmonizes with the milky furniture and the walls are decorated in dark colors.

However, when choosing the color of the material, it is worth considering the area of ​​the room. In a small room it is better to lay a bright one, since at the same time the room will visually appear larger.

If square meters allow, choose a dark (brown or even black) floor. At the same time, it is important to make the correct zoning: part of the space can be highlighted with a material of contrasting color, and in some corners to make LED backlighting or mount spot halogen lamps in the floor or ceiling.

Create a cozy interior in the living room and a warm atmosphere in every sense. Reliable and effective flooring is the first step.
