Indoor Playroom Flooring for Children and Adults

Indoor Playroom Flooring for Children and Adults

When you moved into your home, you had big dreams. You imagined the living room full of family members playing board games on matching furniture. The bedroom would be an oasis of peace to help you rest after stressful days. The kitchen would always be a busy room with everyone running in and out to refill their drinks or get snacks.

You also probably imagined where you'd create a playroom for your kids. It's handy to have a designated area for all the toys, especially when you work out in the same room. You'll never have to choose between keeping an eye on your kids and completing your daily workout, but the room will only work for those purposes if it has the right type of floor.

Read about these great indoor playroom flooring options for children and adults. They'll meet both of your needs and maintain their quality even when you use the room every day, so you won't have to worry about moving out to get more space.

  1. Synthetic Polyester Carpet

    Kids love to have fun, but sometimes that leaves a mess in their wake. Don't waste time with trying to get stains out of expensive carpet that will leave shadow stains behind. Invest in something like synthetic polyester carpet, which is the most commonly used carpet in most households.

    The synthetic fibers hold up well under constant wear and tear, so kids won't create holes and patches by crawling or running around. It's also easy to clean water-soluble stains from this type of carpet, which come from things like juice and fruit.

  2. Biodegradable Cork Flooring

    You can also opt for biodegradable cork flooring if you want your home to be more sustainable. It's an eco-friendly building material because it begins as bark on cork trees that's stripped and processed with recycled cork materials. It's soft so it has excellent shock absorbency, so jumping kids and parents doing pushups won't be as sore afterward.

  3. Classic Vinyl Flooring

    Vinyl flooring is another option that works well in both indoor gyms and playrooms. It's cost-effective for people on a budget and lasts for a long time. It contains materials that are resistant to mildew and moisture, plus it rarely stains. You won't have to worry about your workout equipment either. It shouldn't ever scratch or tear the vinyl.

  4. Interlocking Modular Tiles

    When you think of gym flooring, you probably picture interlocking modular tiles. They fit together like puzzle pieces and provide a soft flooring perfect for high-impact exercises. The best modular tiles provide 5 mm of thickness and don't require an adhesive. Once you find a product that's also scratch-resistant and doesn't need additional waxing, you'll have the perfect flooring for any playroom or indoor gym.

  5. Porcelain Ceramic Tiles

    Ceramic tiles are durable, especially if they're porcelain. You can order them in personalized designs so it looks like your new room has wood flooring. It's water-resistant so it won't grow mold in the grout and has a high density that won't crack under machinery like treadmills or ellipticals. Rugs, bean bags, and other soft seating can always decorate the kid's half of the room if they think the tiles get too cold in the winter.

  6. Consult an Expert

    Talk with an expert today about the best indoor playroom flooring for your home. You'll find something that works for both a playroom and an indoor gym, so no one has to compromise on their comfort while they're in that room.
