A new house can be a great joy, but it can also come with a lot of headaches if you don’t lay the correct foundation when first designing the space. We’re not only talking about the physical foundation here. A welcoming, special space also needs to consider the initial design element, which will leave you with some choices to make around the best flooring option for each room. Two options that are popular in homes all over the country are tiles, and marble or granite flooring. If you can’t quite decide between the two options, we’ve got everything you need to know in order to make a decision right here. 

Why Tile Flooring is So Popular

Tile flooring continues to defy the odds as the decades wear on, mostly because there is a string of benefits attached to choosing it for one or more of your home spaces. Tiles are highly durable, meaning they won’t break easily, and can be easily cleaned and maintained. Water resistant, they also won’t give the same kind of problems as other types of flooring when coming into contact with moisture. Tiles are also cost effective, especially when bought in bulk, and it’s relatively easy to get your hands on what you’re looking for. You can also play with numerous design ideas and let your creativity run wild when choosing different colours of the same tile.

The Perks of Marble/Granite Flooring

Another option to think about is marble or granite flooring, which has gained more stature in homes in recent years. These provide a natural sense of class and elegance, considering this type is made with a high-end finish. Marble/granite flooring is also easy to clean and very durable, alongside being eco-friendly. They are great at conducting heat, which can make a real difference during the South African winter. This type of flooring also comes with a variety of colours to choose from, allowing you to let your inner child run wild as you design the kind of home space you’ve been dreaming about for years.

A Combination of Both?

When you’re deciding which is best for your home, why not consider a combination of both types? Although it might look strange in the same room, the right design could strike a seriously elegant tone, especially if there is a good balance between the various spaces. Whenever you’re choosing on the type of flooring to introduce at home, always keep future challenges in mind, factor in how easy it would be to change or update the design later, and consider whether your choices might affect the resale value of the property too. Going with tiles or marble/granite flooring should be a winner no matter which way you end up going.
