Bamboo flooring design ideas

Bamboo flooring is incredibly versatile and can be used in any room. There are many different types of bamboo flooring, with all differing in grain, colour and pattern choices. What type you choose is vital to achieving your preferred look. Coupled with this is the fact that you need to consider the environment, as bamboo in the kitchen will differ greatly to that in the living room. Below we share some bamboo flooring ideas for different rooms in your home.

Bamboo in the open kitchen

Bamboo looks so clean and natural when used in the kitchen. It works so very well with woods such as oak cabinets and pine counters. All of these woods have different grains and tones, but all compliment each other. Bamboo flooring looks great when teamed with stainless steel and granite. It does need to be sealed for use in the kitchen and ideally with a water-based polyurethane sealant. If you need to restore a bamboo floor for use in a kitchen, always call in the experts, who often offer a floor sanding and varnishing service.

Vertical bamboo flooring in the conservatory

This method of installing a bamboo floor dramatically opens up space, so is perfect for a small conservatory, as it makes it appear bigger. Strips of bamboo are stood up and then placed side by side, with the look competed by applying a strong floor varnish. Although you can do this yourself, it does take a lot of skill and know-how, so ideally sanding bamboo flooring when it is installed in this way really requires the floor sanding experts. They have the required training and those all-important dust free sanding machines.
 

The shabby chic living room look

To give the living room a completely different feel and one that is shabby chic, then installing carbonised bamboo flooring is a great idea. This bamboo feels exactly the same as traditional bamboo, but instead of the soft and light tones, it is a much darker colour. It can be sanded the same way as normal bamboo, but do use a professional floor sanding company who can preserve the grain of this beautiful wood.
