Hi everyone,

We have been living in our own house for some time now and will soon be a family of three. So now it’s time to set up the nursery. We have hardwood flooring throughout the house, but for the nursery, we want a durable, easy-to-maintain, and warm floor covering. Cork is said to be great, but how long-lasting is the material really? Is it easy to clean as a natural material? Does anyone here have cork flooring and can recommend it for a nursery?

Cork is suitable for the entire house, including the children's room.

Looking for tips on "cleaning and maintenance of cork flooring":

I also think it’s a good option, as carpet requires a lot of maintenance and hardwood flooring can feel quite cold. Cork is a great compromise in this case.

Thank you for the tip. We had to remove the carpet because a family member developed a dust mite allergy. Only then did we realize how unclean wall-to-wall carpeting actually is, which is a real shame. Anyway, we hadn’t considered cork flooring.

I also like cork, and it is easy to work with. It is perfect for the children's room. I have also removed all the carpets.

Carpet is not a good alternative, and cork is a good flooring option, especially in the children's room. We had it as well, and it proved to be effective.
