Whether
you have pets that love running through your home and scraping their nails
against the floor or kids who often have accidents, you can still find a new
flooring for your home that will meet the needs of the space. You'll find
options that work well in a bathroom, kitchen or another room where water gets
on the floor and options that you can use in high-traffic areas like your
living room. Some of these ideas are perfect for DIY enthusiasts who love
getting their hands dirty, but other projects will require some professional
help.

Wine
Corks
Even
if you rarely drink and don't keep wine in your home, you can still use wine
corks to create a brand new floor in any room. Many websites now sell wine
corks that come clean and free of wine and other liquids. You can put those
corks down with one of the short ends facing up or arrange the corks on their
sides. As you change the way you lay down those corks, you'll change the final
pattern seen on the floor.
Pennies
It
takes around $4 worth of pennies to cover a square foot of your floor. When you
compare this cost to the cost of the tiles that you want to use, you may find
that it costs less to use pennies. You can use clean pennies or coins that you
clean yourself to get a bright and shiny pink, but you can also use older
pennies that have a darker and more tarnished finish. Putting down a penny
floor is easier than you might think too because you can work on one small area
at a time. You'll put down a clear adhesive, arrange the pennies on top in a
design or pattern that you like and then move on to the next area. Covering the
whole floor with a coat of clear adhesive is the last step.
Weathered
Wood
You
can give your home the look of a rustic barn with weathered wood and hand scraped flooring. These boards come in different finishes and styles that
make each piece look like it came out of a historic building. You can even opt
for planks that look like the planks used on the outside of a wood barn. No
matter which flooring option you select, you can create a unique look in your
home.
