What are the best flooring options for your bedroom?

What kind of bedroom flooring is best for your home? The answer: depends on what you want, and what the purpose for that bedroom is.

So what’s the best flooring options for your bedroom? Here’s some of the most common, and a few unique flooring ideas for your bedroom:
