When deciding on the best floor for your bedroom, in addition to the decor of the room, it's important to consider its location in the home, the age of the occupant, the kind of maintenance that will be needed, and the amount of traffic that the room will endure (usually high for kids, and low for grown-ups).

It's strange that unfinished basements would be so common. The problem is not that the cons are insurmountable, just that they are daunting enough to feel insurmountable…

I'll go over some of those terms, as well as talking about what the standard sizes are for t…
