What is the Best Home Bar Flooring?

If you are like many others, you love to entertain. There’s nothing like having some close friends over and visiting over a beer, glass of wine, or mixed cocktail. Or, maybe you like to sit and chat with some hot tea or coffee. With everything going on in today’s modern world, you may decide that you want to add a bar area in your house - to not only be able to partake without leaving the comforts of your home, but also to have a space where you can still gather and socialize in this manner if you’d rather not venture out in public.

There are many fun ideas to play around with when thinking about setting a bar up; everything from looking at the best bar furniture (will you be building a custom bar, or, buying an option for sale online or at your favorite store) and glassware to home bar flooring. 

Here are some of the best qualities for home bar flooring:

• slip resistant even when wet
• scratch resistant (to prevent damage from a stool sliding in and out)
• water resistant
• easy to clean and maintain

There are numerous options available at Greatmats - many of which can be easily installed for a simple DIY project. Deciding which option is right for you will likely depend on your design preferences, budget, and space.

Interlocking Carpet Tile

Carpet may have come to mind when you started considering home bar flooring ideas. Not much beats the look and feel of plush carpet, but it can be costly and is not an ideal bar flooring option. That’s where Royal interlocking carpet tile squares come in!

They can simply be vacuumed for easy clean up, and since they will not absorb water, should they become wet, they can be removed and stood on end to dry out.
