The floor is the place where the child spends a lot of free time. Games are mostly played on it, many children love to draw, stretching comfortably on a comfortable surface.

The choice of good finishing materials for floors in the nursery should be given increased attention. They should be not only warm and comfortable, but also made of environmentally friendly materials. For all mothers, it is important that the floor in the children's room is easily washed and vacuumed so that the kids cannot scratch it.

What can you advise to choose for the floor when the interior design of the children's room will be done? We offer a brief overview of the most common types of coatings in the rooms of your daughters and sons.

Parquet - a durable option

Is it possible to lay this natural material in children's rooms? Without a doubt, if you can afford to allocate a significant amount from the family budget, then durable parquet will fit perfectly into the children's interior.

Heed the advice of professionals: dark types of parquet are only suitable for an academic atmosphere, they will look good in the office of a business person, but not in the bedroom, for example, of an eight-year-old boy.

Rich dark shades of parquet are resorted to when they are afraid that small children will be able to damage it. The fact is that scratches, if they occur, will be equally clearly visible on both dark and light parquet fragments.

No need to worry too much: for you, choosing such a cover is a wonderful educational chance to teach your child to appreciate things. If damage is done, then believe that it is very easy to repair.

Caring for parquet is also quite simple if you know how. An important point: he is afraid of moisture, so ordinary wet cleaning is not possible. If you doubt, then think about purchasing a parquet board. It is a good alternative to parquet, as all of its properties are retained at a lower cost.

Laminate is a cost-effective option

What floor would look best in a nursery? The right choice of laminate flooring will be the perfect flooring, as it will look just as sophisticated on the outside as the flooring described above. Until quite recently, laminate floors were unfamiliar to us.

Today they are becoming more and more popular among Russians, so such a floor for a nursery will be beneficial both from an aesthetic point of view and from an economic point of view, when compared with expensive parquet.

Laminate is impact-resistant, environmentally friendly, easy to clean. The most difficult stains, even with a small amount of detergent, are gently removed and no traces remain. A well-known problem with adhering plasticine - in our case, there is no reason to worry at all.

Do you want to create the most favorable environment in the child's room?

The color of the nursery is an important element of the interior, thanks to which a certain mood is created. It is not problematic to choose a certain color for a floor made of laminate, as it is available in various colors, ornaments, and patterns.

What other floor to make in the nursery so that it is safe?

All finishing materials must be natural. All synthetic varieties can cause allergies and other serious diseases in a child, so you should not save on this. What else can you recommend:

• Carpets and rugs are soft underfloor heating, but daily high-quality cleaning is required, as they can accumulate dust and dirt in huge quantities. Color solutions can be very diverse, but you need to choose only soft pile.
• Linoleum is a democratic coating. Those designs that are specially designed for children look very colorful. It is necessary to select especially carefully so that it is completely safe for the child. Many manufacturers claim that their linoleum is made only from natural ingredients. You don’t need to believe a word, but you should carefully study the certificates attached to the product so that it is not treated with synthetic resins and does not have polyvinyl chloride.
• Cork floor for the nursery - this is how it should ideally be. Cork is natural, soft, warm, easy to clean. No injury will be too scary if the baby is on the cork floor. But, alas, the price is not for all wallets.

Do not get too carried away with projects from glossy magazines, where design trends are driven by fashion, not expediency. We wish you to lay the most convenient and safe floor in your children's room for a comfortable stay in it for little owners.

The flooring for a children's playroom should be safe for health, soften falls and bumps, look bright and attractive, easy to clean and inexpensive - this is how most parents imagine the baby's gender. Is it possible to find a material that combines all these qualities, or does the ideal not exist? In the article, we will consider what kind of coating is best for a children's room.

Eco-friendly flooring for kids room

Wood

Wood floors could claim to be the best option for flooring in children's rooms. A properly processed and dried floorboard will

• fit snugly, ensuring that there are no gaps in which a curious baby can stick a finger,
• protected with varnish to prevent splinters,
• easy to clean from food stains, juices, paints and other inevitable contaminants.

But a tree that creates a feeling of warmth, has a beautiful natural texture and pattern, is not suitable for small active fidgets. Wooden boards will not soften the blow from a fall for a baby taking its first steps or a frisky lover to run, jump from chairs and sofas. And the price of high-quality wood floors does not fit into the framework of budget repairs.

Cork

Continuing the conversation about the materials offered by nature itself, it is necessary to mention cork.

• It is classified as environmentally friendly. It is guaranteed not to cause allergic reactions. For health safety, you can put a plus.
• The cork flooring in the children's room is warm, serves as a soundproofing layer (this quality is more likely to be appreciated by the neighbors below) - this is an advantage from the category of comfort.
• The cork does not allow you to slide on the floor, it is moderately elastic and is able to smooth out the consequences of falls - a plus in the movement safety column.
• The cork floor is not afraid of wet cleaning, the wear-resistant material is difficult to damage.
• The coating can be floating (assembled in a manner similar to installing a laminate) or glued to a rough base. In both cases, any dad can handle the work on his flooring.

It seems that this material can be chosen, if not for its price. Natural coatings have never been cheap. Attempts to save money and purchase a material of less than the required rigidity can lead to irreparable consequences: under the weight of the furniture, the cork will sag, and it is easier to damage such a coating.

Laminate in the nursery

• Laminate can be used in children's rooms, but it is better to lay it when the child has grown up. The slats come in different colors and mimic the texture of real boards. The floor is warm. Washing such a coating is easy, and it is inexpensive. But the laminate is not designed for a long service life and does not tolerate long-term contact with water. If careful use ensures that the coating lasts more than 5 years, then a puddle from spilled compote, which goes unnoticed, will lead to damage to the coating.
• Falling on such a floor is also quite unpleasant, but sliding on it is very good. Therefore, it is better to follow the initial advice: investing in a laminate with an increased level of strength and wear resistance is justified in the case of arranging a room for a teenager.

Linoleum on the floor in the children's room

• Linoleum in the nursery is one of the most affordable and functional floor coverings. A large selection of colors, imitation parquet boards, cheerful and colorful drawings, designed specifically for a child's room, will satisfy any request. The coating is already with a substrate glued to the base material, or it is purchased separately. In any case, the floor turns out to be warm, it is good to play on it, and mom will have no problems with cleaning. Only a commitment to more modern materials will force you to refuse to purchase linoleum for the floor in the nursery.

• PVC tiles are an alternative to linoleum flooring. Among the bright and diverse collections, it is easy to choose the one that will appeal to the child and will suit the parents. It is easily mounted on glue or the elements are attached to each other on locking connections. Polymer products have always been distinguished by easy cleaning and long service life, PVC tiles are no exception.

Soft cover for children's room

If the child is just starting to learn to walk, crawls a lot, and moves actively, then it is better to immediately lay a soft floor covering. They are also willingly chosen by the owners of apartments in which the floor needs additional insulation. You will have to choose from two options: carpets (carpets, carpet) or soft puzzles made of polymers.

• Carpets- a traditional attribute of a dwelling in many cultures. In addition to keeping warm and creating comfort, the drawings on them had a secret hidden meaning. Today, prints are purely decorative, even if they are pronounced ethnic motifs. And for children's rooms, designers have developed and continue to come up with original drawings.
• Carpeting for a children's room comes in different shapes and sizes, but these are always products with a clear pattern and finished edges. For the most part, they do not cover the entire surface of the floor and are one of the methods of zoning a room. In the children's room, they can highlight the play area, and small rugs are usually placed in front of the crib. Children love to run barefoot or play lying on the floor - a carpet made from natural ingredients will provide the right level of warmth and comfort. But this solution is not very practical. In young children, the concept of maintaining cleanliness, order and careful handling of things does not always coincide with the rules that adults have come up with. Yes, and during the period of potty training, expensive flooring can be hopelessly damaged (or the carpet will be in the dry cleaners most of the time, and not in the children's room).

• carpet The flooring for children's rooms, like the carpet, is designed to make the floor warm, soft and provide a comfortable place for the child to play.
• Such a coating is laid over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe floor. In order for carpet to be easier to clean, most of its types are made from synthetic fibers. With some differences, all types of carpets are made using the same technologies and using the same materials. The service life, method of care, recommendations for the place of use and, of course, the price will depend on one or another parameter.

Classification of carpets on the floor in the children's room

Just by looking at the potential coverage in the nursery, it will not be possible to guess which manufacturing method the manufacturer used. The answer to the question will be given by the bottom side of the material.

• Tufting (firmware). This technology is common. Before the invention of a machine capable of independently fixing pile yarn at the base of a future carpet, the stitching was carried out manually. The machine uses the principle of coordinated work of needles and hooks (a similar operation is performed by a sewing machine). Each needle stitches the yarn through the primary warp. The hook picks it up, pulling it out and forming a loop. If the hooks are supplemented with blades, then the loop is cut after pulling. Such a pile is called sheared. The next step is to apply a latex layer that secures the yarn, and a secondary base. This manufacturing technique allows you to vary the height of the pile, create coatings with a wide variety of patterns and textures.

• needle-punched mode of production. The needle used to make coatings in this way is devoid of an eye. But the notches along its entire length allow the fibers of the pile to cling and tangle when the needle moves up and down. A quality product has 800 to 1200 penetrations per square inch. The reverse side is created from a layer of latex or glue, and after pressing the coating is guaranteed integrity and long service life. According to this principle, not only plain carpets are created, the patterns on them can be very diverse. Needle-punched carpets look inferior to tufted carpets. And they are considered to be less comfortable. But needle-punched coatings are wear-resistant and are much cheaper.
• Woven coverings are a complex structure of interlacing into a single whole pile, weft and warp threads. The price of such products is never small - the process is complicated and takes a lot of time. But, due to the fact that the base is firmly connected with the pile, it will not flake off and disintegrate even after long and intensive use. The villi of such a coating do not crumple under the roller wheels of office chairs, and the wheels of toy cars and tolocars (which will be affected by much less downforce), all the more, will not harm them. Wet and dry coating will endure all tests equally with firmness. The pile in such carpets is rarely multi-level, and both natural woolen and synthetic fibers are equally often used for its manufacture.

How is color created?

Carpets are dyed in two ways: either the pile is given the desired shade before fixing to the base, or the finished product is dyed. Sometimes both options are used at the same time. In addition to monochromatic or differential coloring, the finished product can acquire color by printing. Template, screen or inkjet printing is used. When the pile is painted on an already finished product, color pigments penetrate only into that part of it that is on the surface. Because of this, the shades will fade over time, and various contaminants are absorbed into such a coating much more actively.

An alternative is to dye the fibers before they form the pile of the carpet. Here they give color in two ways:

• color the material at the stage of fiber creation
• or “bath” an already formed thread in dyes.

No matter what the manufacturer does, the coloring pigments penetrate deeply into the structure of the material, and it keeps the colors juicy longer. Therefore, the carpet for the nursery should ideally be painted in this way.

Fiber pedigree

What should be given preference: the gifts of nature or the triumph of human genius?

• Materials of animal and vegetable origin are not cheap. Wool, silk, sisal jute, cotton and linen - can become a pile covering in a nursery. Fans of a 100% natural product need to know that all-wool carpets are rare (and expensive, too). The composition of the fibers will still include artificially created threads. Otherwise, the product will be simply impractical to use, and such a carpet needs to be hung in a frame and dust particles blow off, but not to be torn apart by a little fidget.
• Synthetic materials may be safe and natural.
• Holds the palm firmly nylon. A moderately elastic, practical pile is created from it. Well-known brands of products also undergo special antistatic treatment. Fire safety is also excellent. Polyamide fiber is dyed well, so the palette of finished products is rich and bright. For a children's room, you need to look for a coating that has a stain-resistant impregnation with Teflon. Nylon carpets and carpeting are the most expensive in the synthetic flooring segment, but the most popular and high quality. It is polyamide that is added as a companion for combined products. The pile will not be washed under the furniture and will not wipe off, despite all the efforts of the baby.

• Polypropylene fibers acquire color at the time of manufacture, otherwise the dyes simply will not penetrate into the dense structure of the material. This contributes to the long-term preservation of the shade, although the choice of colors cannot be called rich and varied. The polypropylene coating is not afraid of water and stains, and the material itself is not magnetized a priori (although this property is lost during operation). Such carpet is cheap, but wears out quickly and melts at relatively low temperatures. For premises with "heavy traffic" do not buy it.
• Man-made polyester fibers (polyester) even less wear-resistant than polypropylene. But they are very reminiscent of wool. This feature is noticeable on carpets with a large mass of pile. But such a thick "edge" is not entirely relevant in the children's room.
• Acrylic pile copies the wool coating no less effectively. And some dyes that are used today in the production of carpets are simply not able to penetrate the structure of the material. So there is no need to wait for the richness of shades. The abrasion resistance of acrylic flooring is average, but polyamide fibers are added to improve the performance.

• The pile should not be too fluffy and long. Small debris will inevitably get stuck in it, and it is much more difficult to care for it. Optimum for a children's room carpet with a short pile of 2 or 3 mm.
• Natural or artificial fibers should be covered in the nursery - this is an eternal question. On the one hand, nothing can replace the feeling of tactile contact with wool or linen. But mites and microbes appreciate such a habitat. And a high-quality artificial coating, for example, made of nylon, fully complies with all hygienic requirements.
• Carpet for a nursery can become not just a soft color coating, but also a door to a fairy tale with painted castles, alleys and gardens. Boys will appreciate the painted race tracks or city road junctions. A football field or a flowering meadow in any case will captivate the baby and form the basis of exciting and educational games.

• Carpets with a pattern or abstract patterns are better at masking stains than solid colors.

Floor covering for children's room puzzles

By purchasing puzzle mats as flooring, parents solve several problems with a rhinestone.

• Soft and pleasant to the touch elements of the design will surely appeal to the baby. It is pleasant to run on them, sit warmly while playing with other toys, and they soften blows from falls.
• The bright colors of the rug will attract the smallest kids, and growing up, the baby will receive the basics of design, spatial thinking, develop fine motor skills, and color perception.
• Such coatings are puzzles, puzzles, and constructors. And the central removable elements in various models serve as excellent didactic material for studying shapes, numbers, animals, letters.

• It is fun to play with modular covers for a children's room, they are easy to care for, and polymer materials have been certified and are safe for baby's health. They are inexpensive, and you can change the cover from time to time so that the child receives new knowledge. Such rugs have only one drawback - they do not cover the entire surface of the floor and can only be used as an addition, for example, to carpet.

Prevention and treatment as fun

• According to the principle of puzzles, you can assemble an orthopedic coating in the child's room. It is able to correct existing problems with the formation of the foot or prevent their occurrence (for example, flat feet).
• These are durable and brightly colored elements of a single structure that imitate various irregularities, say, a pebble beach or grass. Running on such a diversified surface, the baby, in fact, makes an effective and pleasant foot massage.
• Puzzles can be combined in different sequences and used both at home and on the street, during hardening procedures. Rubber orthopedic coatings are often placed in the bath, then showering is combined with the benefits of massage, and the legs will not slip.
• Running, jumping, walking and coordination exercises - this flooring will be a great addition to the home gym, it is easy to wash and clean when not needed.

Flooring in a nursery can be not only practical and safe, but also smart and useful. What to give preference to, parents decide, and there is no single right decision. A hint will be age, temperament, the interests of a son or daughter, and, well, material opportunities - where without this? But, as practice shows, the path with the highest costs is not always the most correct one.

All parents want their children to grow up healthy, in an atmosphere of comfort, coziness and beauty. Therefore, doing your best furnish the children's room, many moms and dads are faced with the problem of choosing flooring for the room child.

After all, you need to take into account not only the appearance and practicality, but also think about the health and safety of the child.

For young children, the floor is an important part of the room, as they spend a lot of time playing on the floor. And during the crawling period, babies are in contact with the floor not only with their legs, but also with their palms.

How to choose the best from a huge variety of materials floor covering for kids room and what requirements must it meet?

Floor covering in the children's room must have the following qualities:

1. Hygiene

It is desirable if the coating in the children's room is non-staining, easy to clean, easy to wet and dry cleaning.

2. Eco-friendly

When decorating a children's room, it is better to choose natural, environmentally friendly materials. We must not forget that some synthetic materials can provoke an allergic reaction in children.

3. Security

Children in their room move a lot and actively, so the floor must comply with all safety standards. It is important that the coating is reliable and durable, even, without deep seams, protruding joints and, of course, be non-slippery.

Consider advantages and disadvantages of each coating more.

What kind of flooring to choose for the children's room?

1. Linoleum

Advantages:

This is one of the inexpensive materials for flooring, it is unpretentious in cleaning, it withstands heavy loads well without being deformed.

Linoleum has rather high rates of thermal insulation, moisture resistance.

The advantage of linoleum over cork and laminate flooring is that linoleum is resistant to heat, which is of great importance if there is a “warm floor” system in the house.

Disadvantages:

Linoleum has a slippery surface, and the disadvantages include the fact that linoleum is a synthetic material. Although at present there is linoleum from environmentally friendly components: wood shavings, rubber, cork and others, but such linoleum is much more expensive than synthetic.

2. Carpet

Advantages:

Carpet soft, pleasant to the touch, retains heat well, absorbs noise. Now on sale there is a carpet made of natural materials, which makes it safer for children.

Disadvantages:

Carpet is difficult to clean, its small fibers attract all the dust in the room, so it is convenient to use it for a small area of ​​​​a children's room, for example, for a play area, then from time to time it can be changed to a new one.

3. Parquet board and parquet

Advantages:

The parquet board is certainly a good option for covering a child's room, it is made of natural wood, retains heat well and is durable.

Disadvantages:

Expensive and rather vulnerable material, perhaps more suitable for a living room, or for an adult child's room, as it requires careful handling and careful maintenance.

4. Laminate

Advantages:

A good, practical material, has high thermal insulation properties, resistance to moisture and durability.

The ease of installation and maintenance of laminate flooring makes it one of the most sought-after materials for a child's room.

Disadvantages:

The laminate has one feature, it minimizes the noise from the neighbors below, but at the same time amplifies the sounds of footsteps on its surface. But this can be avoided by using noise-insulating substrates during installation.

5. Cork floor

Advantages:

This material is great for a child's room. The cork coating does not require special care, it is easy to clean, non-slip, resistant to moisture. In addition, the cork floor has rare bactericidal properties, and no other material has such properties. Orthopedic doctors believe that the elasticity of cork floors significantly reduces the load on the children's skeleton, which is very important for babies who are just starting to walk.

Disadvantages:

Perhaps the only drawback of cork flooring is its high price, but otherwise, it is an ideal material for floors in a children's room.

As for the choice of colors for flooring for kids room, then, first of all, this is a matter of taste, there are no strict rules here.

The best flooring for kids

Watch the video - what floor coverings are the best for the children's room:

Laminate for children's room

Laminate has a wide range of colors. Such material can imitate wood, stone or tile. This variation of the floor covering is made on the basis of cellulose and wood shavings. The laminate differs in resistance to mechanical influences and high heat-insulating potential. With all its advantages, such material does not tolerate moisture very well.

Laminate is one of the most common flooring for children's rooms.

Benefits of laminate:

• high wear resistance;
• easy to clean;
• ideal for underfloor heating systems (able to withstand temperature resonance well);
• a good option for the implementation of intricate styling schemes.

Parquet board - is not cheap

Cons of laminate:

Children's floor mat

A baby rug is a very useful attribute for developing a child's coordinated movements, identifying colors, shapes, playing passion and other abilities. To maximize the coverage of areas of learning various skills on the rugs, surface relief, pictures with images of animals and fairy-tale characters are used.

Soft rug in the nursery

Also, with the help of a baby rug, you can create a safe area for a child to fall, because it is made of soft, harmless and non-toxic materials. Some models are equipped with an additional soundproofing layer, which is very convenient for families living in high-rise buildings. Rugs are easy to clean thanks to materials that do not absorb moisture.

Children's rugs are presented on the market with a wide range. When choosing such a variation of the floor covering, one should take into account the age of the baby for whom this attribute is intended.

A good owner always pays special attention to the living space of his child. After all, the most stringent requirements are always applied to the quality of the repairs performed in this room. And this is especially true for flooring. Linoleum or parquet, board or carpet, tile or laminate - in a children's room, any floor covering will be subjected to increased operational stress. Let's figure out which floor in the children's room would be better to do?

Consider the most common options for flooring for children.

Laminate in the children's room

Laminate is a wonderful modern finishing material, which today is most often used for arranging the finishing floor covering. Wear-resistant, reliable, easy to install - it is considered an almost ideal solution in terms of price and quality. However, if you decide that it will be in your baby's room, then you should know the main disadvantages of the laminated product.

hydrophobicity

For a laminate, hydrophobicity is both its alpha and omega. Anyone who wants to point out the Achilles' heel of laminate flooring recalls precisely this weakness. Yes, laminate can be of better quality and more moisture resistant, but if your child decides to take the “initiative” and organize “wet” cleaning in the room by flooding the floor with water directly from the bucket, the coating cannot be saved.

Synthetic origin

Not everything is “clean” in the laminate and with the origin. Whatever one may say, it is still synthetic, not natural material. And synthetics can only be relatively safe for human health.

• The price of the material is 300-3000 rubles / m 2
• Laying price 250-300 rubles / m 2;

Parquet board in the children's room

A parquet board made from natural wood in a nursery looks much more preferable than a synthetic laminate, but it also costs several times more. Of course, in terms of environmental friendliness, natural material is always in the lead, but this product is not perfect either. So the life of a parquet board is only about 10-12 years, and if we take into account the increased operational loads that children put on the floor, then these figures can be safely divided in half. In addition, like laminate flooring, parquet boards are hydrophobic, although to a lesser extent.

• The price of the material is 1000-7000 rubles / m 2
• Installation price 500-700 rubles / m 2

Parquet in the children's room

• Ecological cleanliness
• Low thermal conductivity
• Good sound insulation
• Artistic potential
• High wear resistance
• Long service life
• Not afraid of water

If the parquet is damaged during operation, then it can most often be repaired without time-consuming dismantling.

But for all these bonuses you have to pay and pay dearly! Prices for parquet work, as well as the construction materials themselves, are among the most expensive among all possible in this target segment.

• The price of the material is 650-2500 rubles / m 2
  (plus toners, glues, varnishes)
• The price of laying "turnkey" from 1350 rubles / m 2
  1. Laying plywood 200 rub/m2
  2. Scraping plywood 100 rub / m 2
  3. Laying parquet from 500 rubles / m 2
  4. Standard scraping 150 rub / m 2
  5. Additional polishing 100 rub/m 2
  6. Putty 100 rub / m 2
  7. Toning 100 rub/m2
  8. Application of varnish or parquet oil 100 rub/m2

Linoleum is another material that has been used since Soviet times as a floor covering for various types of premises. There are two main types on the market.

• Homogeneous
• Heterogeneous

The first type is higher quality and wear-resistant, the second has a more attractive cost. Both of them are not afraid of water, have a huge “life” and require minimal maintenance.

Unfortunately, with such undeniable advantages, linoleum still remains plastic. Its main constituent component - polyvinyl chloride is not an example of environmental cleanliness. Therefore, in rooms where children permanently live, it is not recommended to install such coatings. Still, linoleum is an office option for arranging the floor.

• The price of the material is 250-1250 rubles / m 2
• Laying price 100-300 rubles / m 2

Carpet - one of the modern floor materials. It is applied both in office, and premises. It is just a huge unremovable carpet. It has excellent heat and sound insulation qualities, excellent decor properties. In addition, high-quality samples of this material are wear-resistant and quite durable. And if we also take into account the pleasant sensations during direct contact with this product, it may mistakenly seem that it is ideal for a nursery.

Alas, this product also has its drawbacks. The fact is that such a “carpet” coating is very capricious in its care and has the unpleasant property of accumulating dust, dirt and various bacteria. And this, despite the environmental friendliness of the material itself, is very dangerous for a young, fragile organism. As a conclusion, it is not recommended to lay carpet in the nursery.

• The price of the material is 150-700 rubles / m 2
• Laying price 250-350 rubles / m 2

In principle, there is no special floor covering specially designed for children, and each owner chooses exactly the technology that he likes best or the cost of which is best correlated with the size of the budget allocated for repairs. But still, it is simply necessary to know certain information about the specifics of the use of this or that material in the children's room in order to make the best decision on the question of which floor is better to do in the children's room?
