The Classic Wood Floor Renovation

This one might sound like an expensive one, but you will be surprised to find out how budget-friendly professional wood floor renovation services can be. Add this up to the fact that even a simple and quick professional treatment such as wood floor sanding and refinishing can make a lot of difference and be more than enough for your aged and tired floor to look like brand-new! Indeed, among the many benefits of real wood flooring is the fact it can be re-sanded and refinished a handful of times in its lifespan and, as a result, look and feel as good as in the first day of its installation. Wood floor sanding is designed to strip off anything nasty from real wood floors along with the old, chipped, and dirty finish, fine scratches and dents, stains and dirt build-ups, etc. Next, a couple of layers of a new and high-quality finish will contribute to bringing the wooden floorboards back to life, giving them back their initial lustre, beauty, and glory.

Painting and Staining

Sometimes the look of an aged and distressed wooden floor is too unbearable for wood floor refinishing to help. Or a wood floor sanding and renovation service still don’t fit into your budget and are too harsh to your wallet. This is when you can unleash your creativity and play around to create a unique, one-of-a-kind wooden floor and staining and painting can contribute a lot for achieving such results. Staining or painting your floor costs less than a professional recovery service and can be even attempted as a DIY project (often with perfect results, but perfectionism is not the goal, in this case, it is all about uniqueness). You can be as creative as you want, but if you want to go the extra mile, you can even use a stencil for creating a one-of-a-king and unexpected but very attractive design for your wooden floor. As far as the paint of choice, you don’t have to go for a wood floor staining product strictly. Alternatively, you can use chalk paint. Thanks to its thicker consistency it lays beautifully on wood and is easy to work with besides being non-toxic and odour free.

Don't Do Anything 

And maybe your budget is enough for remodelling the walls and other home improvements, but not enough to cover the installation of a floor? Well, here is your lucky day, because concrete floors are what excites the world of interior designers in the past couple of years. They are raw, they are harsh, maybe they lack some charm and grace, but they are very trendy and the ultimate epitome of minimalistic, Scandinavian style. If you are not afraid of a bit of harshness in your everyday life and the industrial style is your cup of tea, why don’t you try this current trend out and see how things go? At the end of the day, if you don’t fell in love, you can always start saving up money for the installation of a “real” floor. Until then, everyone will think of you as a creative and a bit eccentric interior designer with an artistic soul.
