Many choices suitable for living space
Floors made from natural materials such as sisal, sea grass, coconut fiber or jute are appearing more in modern interior design. Unlike traditional carpets, this material line creates a feeling of closeness, has light colors and is suitable for minimalist home style.
According to interior experts, the big advantage of natural fiber floors is their quite high durability, low chemical use and biodegradability. Some types are also suitable for people with allergies or asthma thanks to limiting dirt accumulation.
In which, sisal is a commonly used material thanks to its durability and good abrasion resistance. This type of floor is suitable for walkways such as corridors or living rooms. In addition to natural colors, sisal can also be dyed in many different colors to suit interior design.
Seaweed is highly appreciated for its natural stain resistance. The surface of this type of floor has a light wax layer, so it is quite easy to clean. However, this material is harder and not suitable for installation on stairs.
Meanwhile, coconut fiber has a rougher surface but is moisture-resistant and mold-resistant. This is a suitable choice for areas that require high durability. It is soft and comfortable to walk barefoot but less durable, so it is often used in the bedroom.
Consider usage needs before installation
The price of natural floors depends on the material, fiber thickness and weaving style. Simple weaving models are cheaper, but the durability and usability will not be as good as smooth, tightly woven fibers.
Experts recommend choosing materials according to each used space instead of just relying on aesthetics. For example, humid areas such as kitchens or bathrooms are often not suitable for natural fiber floors because they are easily affected by water.
In addition, installation also needs to be done correctly to avoid fibers becoming fibrous or peeling after use. Many suppliers advise users to hire a professional construction unit instead of installing them themselves.
For preservation, users should vacuum regularly and limit the use of water or strong cleaning chemicals. Steam cleaners are also not recommended because they can damage the natural fiber structure.
Interior experts believe that if used and preserved properly, natural material floors not only make the space more cozy but also create a feeling of closeness to nature.
