Tips for choosing the best flooring for your home
At Gunni & Trentino, we believe that floor and wall tiles add a special touch to a design project, which is why we offer a wide variety of styles and materials perfect for giving projects their own unique character.
Our customers can choose from a wide variety of wall and floor coverings in our luxury furniture store catalogs. We carry over 70 types of marble , slate , granite , limestone , and exotic and classic wood flooring , bamboo , ceramic, porcelain, glass , leather, lightweight flooring, mosaics, tiles, hydraulic , specialty stones such as basalt and thassos , and outdoor flooring and pool coverings . We understand that choosing the right flooring can be a difficult decision, which is why our decorators have compiled a selection of the best tips for choosing the ideal flooring for our customers' projects.
To begin, we want to highlight natural stone, marble, or granite floors, as they represent the epitome of elegance. Their advantages include their ability to attract attention, as they often create unique and singular spaces . However, their disadvantages include their porosity, which makes them more difficult to clean and maintain, their difficulty in installation, and their price, which is the highest of all the floors we've discussed. These floors are ideal for hallways (as they will make a great impression on our guests), outdoor areas, and kitchens.
Their visual appeal and unique design capabilities make tile floors our allies when it comes to decorating your spaces. Among their advantages, we can highlight that they are very easy to install , offer a wide variety of designs and patterns to play with, are much easier to clean, and don't generate static electricity . It's also important to highlight their disadvantages when installing them in the right spaces. Therefore, they may not be the best choice if they will be used in an area with high traffic and abuse (they can crack). We recommend using them in guest bathrooms , kitchens , and areas with little abuse.
When we think of this type of flooring, we think of a cozy and warm space. Wood or parquet floors are a perfect choice if we're looking for a floor with its own identity. They're very easy to install and minimally invasive, and can last a lifetime if we apply the necessary care treatments, so if we want it to maintain its vibrancy, we have to maintain it. On the other hand, it's quite soft, so you have to be more careful with scratches and dents, and its price is less competitive. You can use it in rooms where we spend a lot of time relaxing, such as bedrooms and living rooms .
This type of flooring is trending in current interior design projects . It stands out for its longevity (it can last up to 30 years without problems), its resistance (it doesn't deteriorate even if mistreated), and its easy maintenance (it cleans well). However, we must keep in mind that it is a cold floor, which weighs a lot and can be too hard if we are looking for a comfortable and soft tread. In addition, we must waterproof it to avoid unpleasant surprises. It is perfect for, for example, kitchens , bathrooms , or terraces , spaces with a lot of traffic, since its ease of cleaning makes it ideal for these purposes.
All of our luxury furniture stores feature catalogs from the best design firms, offering floor and wall tiles perfect for completing your interior design projects . Our specialized staff will help you choose the option that best suits your home and advise you on all technical aspects.
