Fun sports theme flooring for your game room is necessary to make your theme "Ultimate".
And because you're creating the "Ultimate" Sports Theme Room for you, your family and friends, choosing a sporty flooring design is going to be fun!Easy To Keep Up
So you'll need a Sports Theme Flooring that's easy to keep up and clean after the game is over and friends and family have left.
That brings us to the first choice.
Ceramic Tiling
The Sports Look In Tiles.
Ceramic Tiling is definitely a great choice for flooring in your Sports Theme Room. For one there is a WIDE selection of colors and designs available. Plus ceramic tiling is easy to work with, easy to put down and easy to keep up and clean.
The Sports Look In Tiles.
Also a GREAT THING about ceramic tiling is that you can create a checkered flooring design. Checkered Flooring is one of the best if not thee best flooring choice for Sports Theme Flooring.
The great thing is that you have a choice. A choice as to how you want your flooring to look. For example you can go with the basic checkered floor using your favorite team's colors. Another idea would be to create a "field, ice rink , basketball court or race track" look. Do this by color coordinating the tiles and designing the floor to look like an actual hockey rink floor and so on… You could make blue lines, red lines and more. Think of the possibilities.
Carpeting A Sports Theme
Always An Option Worth Considering.
Carpeting is a good alternative to ceramic tiling and wood flooring as long as it's the "RIGHT KIND" of carpeting. Shaggy and long carpeting just won't do. Neither will carpet that isn't stain resistant. Therefore a great carpeting is one that not only matches your theme but is also stain resistant and wound tightly. Berber carpeting is a good example of carpeting for a sports theme room.
Always An Option Worth Considering.
Carpet Tiling is also an option if you want something easy to care for. It's durable and it comes in tiles, so if something is spilled all you need to do is replace the ruined squares and not the whole carpet. And there is a large selection of color choices out there to match any theme room colors.
Lastly if you want to leave your floor natural, for example leaving the concrete uncovered in the basement you can spice it up a bit.
An Area Rug or two can do wonders to a cement floor. Not only can you find any color you want, you can find them in shapes to match your theme. For example: baseballs, bats, footballs, racecars and more. A variety of sizes are also available and they work under pool tables and in sitting areas where children can play on the floor with toys or video games.
Hardwood Flooring
Do You Have A Court In The House?
Using a hardwood flooring as your Sports Theme Flooring may not be the most practical choice but that depends on the look and style you want.
Do You Have A Court In The House?
In a game room you'll have a lot of foot traffic. Because of that it'll be hard to keep the flooring clean and scuff free. Yes it will look great for a while but time will take its toll. With that said, if you wear sock in your sports theme room and it's just for watching TV and relaxing then hardwood would look beautiful and stay in great shape. So what's available in hardwood?
You have a nice selection of woods to choose from and can stain most to match your room. For example: Oak, Maple, Cherry, Hickory, Pecan, Pine, Beech, Birch, Walnut, and more. Also there is bamboo and cork flooring. Cork flooring is actually very nice and more durable than other hardwoods.
Also don't forget to ask if the hardwood flooring you like can be installed in a basement if that's where your game room is located.
Because 99% of the time it can only be installed ground floor or above. This is because moisture and humidity problems occur in basements and hardwood floors may rot and mold.
Cork Flooring
Keeping It Comfortable.
As mentioned above Cork Flooring as your Sports Theme Flooring would work just fine. It's fire resistant and it can be installed in places where many hardwood floors cannot.
Keeping It Comfortable.
Also a plus is that cork floors naturally insulate sound and are soft on the feet and easy on the knees making it a comfortable and functional floor for your Sports Theme Room.
Laminate Flooring
Easy To Clean Sports Theme Flooring.
If none of the flooring choices above catch your eye then you must want Laminate Flooring. This is a flooring that can be placed just about anywhere and has great features. It's easy to keep up, it's VERY DURABLE and easy to install for most first timers.
Easy To Clean Sports Theme Flooring.
Another good thing is that it's cheap compared with other types of flooring. There is a wide variety of colors and designs available too. And if you want a "Real Hardwood Look" but don't want the upkeep or the price then Laminate is the Sports Theme Flooring for you.
You won't find many other flooring that are resistant to scratches, burns, chipping, dents and more. Maybe your best choice for your Sports Theme Flooring?
