What type of floor to install at home according to each space

Are you renovating your home or about to move and unsure what type of floor to install at home? Choosing the right flooring for each room is a key decision that affects not only the home’s aesthetics but also its comfort, maintenance, durability, and functionality.

What type of floor to install at home: Examples

In this article, we guide you room by room to help you choose the ideal type of floor according to the characteristics, needs, and use of each area. In addition, we include examples from standout Yvyra collections, a benchmark brand in natural and technical wood flooring for indoor and outdoor spaces.

Living room and dining room: comfort, elegance, and warmth

The living room is the heart of the home, a space for rest and togetherness. Therefore, it needs a floor that is warm, comfortable, durable, and visually appealing.

• Multilayer natural wood floors: ideal for their thermal comfort, excellent acoustic insulation, and elegant aesthetics.
• The 1OAK Único collection by Yvyra offers finishes such as Roble Noto or Roble Aire, with wide plank formats, soft touch, and neutral tones that match any decor.
• You can also opt for matte or oiled finishes, which are easy to maintain and pleasant to the touch.

Bedrooms: thermal and acoustic comfort

Have you thought about what type of floor to install at home to improve your rest? In bedrooms, it’s essential that the floor provides acoustic insulation, feels nice underfoot, and helps maintain a constant temperature.

The Millésime collection by Yvyra, with aged or hand-brushed wood, offers an enveloping sensation and unique texture. Models such as Roble Tannat or Roble Priorat are ideal for master bedrooms.

• Choose woods with good dimensional stability against temperature changes
• Avoid cold or overly hard materials such as natural stone or polished cement, unless underfloor heating is installed

Kitchen: resistance, cleanliness, and aesthetics

The kitchen is a high-traffic area, sensitive to humidity and exposed to stains, grease, and heat. The floor should be easy to maintain, impact-resistant, and have low water absorption.

• For those seeking a warm style without sacrificing functionality, Yvyra offers technical wood floors with moisture-resistant treatments that are easy to clean.
• Another option: porcelain material that imitates wood, ideal for creating visual continuity with the living room without compromising durability.

Bathrooms: moisture resistance and safety

Bathrooms are exposed to high temperatures, steam, condensation, and splashes. Here, the choice of flooring should focus on safety, resistance, and balanced aesthetics.

• Although natural stone or ceramic are traditional choices, today there are Yvyra technical wood floors suitable for bathrooms that resist humidity and are anti-slip.
• For a modern style, polished cement or matte-finish porcelain are also highly functional options.

Terrace or garden: durability and anti-slip

And in outdoor spaces? Here it’s crucial to choose floors resistant to moisture, direct sunlight, foot traffic, and water absorption. They must also withstand weather-related wear and be anti-slip.

• The Exterpark Magnet Bamboo collection is ideal for patios, balconies, and terraces.
• These technical wood pavements can be installed without screws, are durable, sustainable, and withstand extreme climate changes very well.

Comparison by space

Knowing what type of floor to install at home means analyzing the characteristics of each space and choosing materials that combine functionality, comfort, and design. From the warmth of natural wood in living rooms and bedrooms, to the resistance of technical floors in bathrooms and kitchens, each room deserves a custom solution.
