How to choose a living room decoration? Marble tiles or wood flooring
Ceramic tiles or wooden flooring? Latex paint or wallpaper? Finished furniture or customized furniture... In the process of home decoration, we always face the dilemma of "choosing one from two" or even "choosing one from multiple". Different styles, different material choices, different prices, and different strengths and weaknesses are simply moments of despair when it comes to choosing difficulties. Some people say, "Once you enter the home, the depth of decoration is like the sea." In this process of "not reaching the top", some people pretend to feel like they are hundreds of thousands of yuan, while others fail to achieve the expected effect despite the tens of thousands. As an important part of hard decoration, should we choose ceramic tiles or wooden flooring for floor decoration? Look here, don't get tangled up.
In terms of aesthetics, ceramic tiles are slightly better than wooden flooring. China has a long history of porcelain making technology and advanced craftsmanship. Therefore, after years of development, the appearance of ceramic tiles has a variety of patterns and types, with a high degree of compatibility. Especially like simple marble tiles, which simulate the texture of natural stone, they are more upscale and have an advantage in price compared to marble. Wood flooring is essentially characterized by wood texture, with wood color being the main color, and the richness of color is not as rich as ceramic tiles. Moreover, during the tiling process, ceramic tiles can be combined with patterns to form diverse visual expressions, which cannot be achieved by wooden flooring.
In terms of durability, the wear resistance of ceramic tiles is higher than that of wooden floors. It can be affirmed that ceramic tiles have good wear resistance, moisture resistance, are not easily deformed and easy to clean, thus having a long service life. Generally, they can be used for more than ten to twenty years with proper protection. Wooden flooring, on the other hand, is inherently 'delicate' and cannot be used in heavily oiled and humid environments such as bathrooms, balconies, and kitchens. It is also complex to manage and requires regular maintenance, resulting in high maintenance costs. But it has to be said that wooden flooring has high elasticity and better comfort. Walking barefoot on it, both its temperature and touch are very comfortable, so it is often used in spaces such as bedrooms and study rooms.
In terms of decorative effects, ceramic tiles are more diverse than wooden flooring. Ceramic tiles can be suitable for various decoration styles, whether it is modern minimalist style, new Chinese style, Nordic style, or European classical style, you can choose different colors and patterns of ceramic tiles to match. Especially in the construction of the background wall, the tiles on the wall echo the floor tiles, increasing the overall space while making the style of the facade more diverse. At this point, the expression effect of wooden flooring is relatively limited.
In terms of post maintenance, ceramic tiles are more hassle free than wooden flooring. For "lazy cancer patients", there is no need for special care, and clean and simple ceramic tiles are the first choice for decoration. As mentioned above, wood flooring should be more "delicate", especially solid wood flooring needs special wood essence liquid and liquid floor wax for regular maintenance, and when cleaning, it can not be handled with a mop like tiles. Therefore, in terms of maintenance, ceramic tiles are more time-saving and labor-saving than wooden flooring.
Overall, ceramic tiles and wooden flooring, as two different materials for home decoration, have their own advantages and disadvantages. The diversity of ceramic tile patterns, the sense of luxury, including high wear resistance, moisture resistance, and other characteristics make them widely used in living rooms, kitchens, restrooms, and other spaces. Especially in larger living rooms with "facade responsibility", the advantages of ceramic tiles are obvious. As shown in the above figure, the living room space constructed with simple marble tiles has a significant improvement in texture. Coupled with simple and tight seam paving technology, it not only looks atmospheric and simple, but also has a high-end overall tone, and is very labor-saving to clean. As for rest areas such as bedrooms, the application of wooden flooring can better cater to the "foot feeling" and eliminate the cold feeling when stepping on them. Therefore, how to choose between ceramic tiles and wooden flooring? It depends on your specific needs and analysis.
