A household with children calls for sturdy, waterproof and scratch-resistant floors. Are you getting ready to furnish a nursery, a children’s or a teenager bedroom? We’re happy to share a number of tips and ideas and naturally we can also recommend the perfect Parky floor. Let’s kid started!
Baby on board
Yay, a new baby! That means bubbles, sugared almonds and an inviting nursery. The most important thing is where to put the cot. It’s best not to position it too close to a radiator or window but in the middle of the room with plenty of space around it. Opting for a changing table that can double as a dresser will keep you from having to redecorate after just two years. Paint the room in light colours such as mint green or soft grey. Stay away from the cliché blues and pinks, especially if you don’t know yet if it’s a boy or a girl. In those first few years little accidents and sleepless nights are par for the course. Therefore it’s best to choose a sturdy floor that can take the odd scratch or puddle.

- Collection Walnuts: Smoked Walnut
Child needs playroom
Is it almost time to swap that cot for your little one’s first real bed? Then the rest of the room also deserves a makeover. Don’t be afraid to paint the walls in a more vibrant colour or opt for an accent wall with cheerful wallpaper to suit your child’s taste. Wall stickers are also an excellent way to add instant character to any room. Psstt, did you know that nowadays you can lease instead of buy furniture? Especially for chairs, beds and desks that don’t grow along with your child this is a less expensive and sustainable option. Welcome all those temporary friends on a robust and timeless Parky floor. As our floors are manufactured without the addition of harmful substances the air quality in your child’s room will also improve.
The perfect Parky floor:

Caution: teenager in the house!
Group assignments with classmates, FaceTiming with girlfriends, gaming with the lads... Teenagers spend long hours and even days in their bedroom. This makes a lit interior absolutely crucial. Install a large desk and make sure there’s plenty of storage space for all hoodies, crop tops and other trends. A mirror is another accessory you simply can’t do without. Creative DIY projects will help you personalise the room. For instance, give that old toy chest a second life as a handy shoe basket. The quality time with your son or daughter is a free and welcome bonus! In a teenage bedroom full of soft drinks, snacks and TikTok dance moves having a water, scratch and impact resistant Parky floor is no luxury. All you have to do now is choose between oak, walnut and character wood.
