analysis: Wood and Wood-Styled Flooring for the Attic

What’s the decor theme

Notes:

• Converting your attic could take on many different decor themes. It could be modern looking – contemporary – or rustic. It all depends what you want to do with the attic space.
• But let’s say you want to go rustic – with that vintage feel – to give the attic space a feeling of the older times. So the flooring could be worn-looking hardwood boards with a rustic white finish. It goes well with the rustic looking support poles and beams.
• Add to the look industrial-styled pendent lighting and other decor that gived you the old-time look. Decorate it with rustic furniture and perhaps a wood-burning stove. It has become the perfect room to relax and enjoy the view.

Adding an extra bedroom

Notes:

• Your attic can become the extra space you need to add a spare bedroom – perhaps a private bedroom for your aging teenager who needs their own space (or a guest who comes for a visit).
• A nicely patterned wood floor with a shiny finish could be the right flooring option for the grown-up person. Just add some simple bedroom furniture pieces and a desk – something the resembles a college dorm room that your teenager will attending in the near future.
• Note that any attic conversion must have stellar windows. Something your teenager can look out of at night as they plan their future flight from home.

You might want to try engineered wood

Notes:

• Engineered hardwood flooring is better than solid hardwood if you feel the attic space will be a “playground” of sorts for the family. A place where to watch TV, play table tennis, serve drinks and food, and other activities that might be a bit rough.
• Engineered hardwood is more stable – and it warps and flexes less easily upon contact with moisture than solid hardwood:
  INFO: solid vs. engineered hardwood flooring
• Engineered hardwood uses multiple layers of composite wood from the bottom up – with the top layer made of real hardwood. So you can get any real hardwood style that you would like for your attic space – at a little less expense than solid hardwood:

Maybe laminate wood is your best option

Notes:

• Laminate wood can look just like real wood but at half the expense. And laminate can take more wear without the worry of scratching or damaging solid or engineered wood.
• And laminate flooring is easy to install – and to replace if you decide on a different style.
• It’s the perfect option if your attic is going to become a kids playroom or an adult arts and craft room.
