Wood floors add warmth and texture to a space. With the proper care, they can grace your home for many years. Use these tips to keep your living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture from scratching your beautiful wood floors:
Attaching felt furniture pads to the bottom of all of your furnishings will help protect your wood floors. These pads give you the option of moving the furniture without worrying about scratching the floor. Place pads onto the legs of beds, sofas, chairs, and even your dining room table to provide a protective barrier for your floors.
Accent rugs are a decorative addition to a room that can actually prevent your furniture from damaging your floors. Place heavy pieces of furniture onto large area rugs. Not only does this keep the legs from scratching the floors, but it also enhances the look and feel of your space.
Even with these protective barriers in place, you should always be careful when moving furniture across a wood floor. If possible, ask someone else to help you, so you can actually lift the furniture and avoid dragging it across the wood. This will ensure that both the furniture and the floor remain in quality condition while you try to find the perfect arrangement for your pieces.
