What Types OF Rugs Are Best For Bamboo Wood Floors?

Bamboo is a top-notch choice for sustainable flooring that still keeps the beauty for hardwood. Although bamboo flooring is gorgeous on its own, most of us like to warm-up space, add color, or define a seating/dining area with an area rug. Especially when it comes to bamboo wood and tile flooring, area rugs are an excellent way to add style and a customized look to your interior décor.

When considering a rug of any kind, you have to avoid rugs or coverings that are not breathable. This is because hardwood and bamboo flooring emits moisture over time, and trapping it on the finished surface with non-breathable rug may damage the floor finish. Area rugs can lend a space an air of laid-back elegance, which can promote feelings of comfort for those living and working in that interior.

Most modern designer carpets used in a living room or dining room set are large 8′ x 10′ on average and require an equally large pad, both to protect the floor and to keep the rug from slipping. Whether it's heavy furniture, the occasional scuff marks that come with high traffic areas, a rug pad will act as a floor protector for your pristine bamboo wood flooring. Good airflow facilitation will also help keep dust or dirt particles from building up under your rug.
