Oh the weather outside is frightful, but inside it’s so delightful! When you work from home you have the benefit of never being late, never worrying about commuting during inclement weather, and never being around sick coworkers during cold and flu season. However, this means you need to create a warm, inviting, healthy workspace at home yourself. When it comes to crafting the perfect atmosphere, your choice of home office flooring makes a difference.
Carpet, luxury vinyl, and hardwood all have their respective advantages so you truly can’t go wrong. It all depends on functionality, the layout of your home office space, and your style preferences. Consider some pros and cons:
- Carpet reduces ambient sounds and echoes such as rolling chairs, keyboard clacking, and ringing phones. For hardwood or luxury vinyl, you want to add an area rug to anchor your office chair and help dampen noise.
- Carpet traps airborne allergens and germs that can then be vacuumed. Hardwood or luxury vinyl require sweeping but are also easy to maintain.
- Hardwood is stylish and adds value to your home.
- Luxury vinyl is extremely durable as well as stain and scratch resistant to withstand rolling chairs. Certain types of carpet (like plush, high-pile, or tufted) are not beneficial for rolling chairs and may get flattered or caught in the wheels, or may be difficult to maneuver on.
Overall, you want a floor that is practical, durable, and comfortable. Let our flooring experts help you find the right floor to fit your office for optimal functionality.
