Since we decided to refinish our hardwood floors last week, I’ve been learning more about flooring styles than I ever have before. Specifically – cork floors. Have you heard of them before? Because I never have and I’m typically looking at all different decor blogs all day and night!

So, how did I miss these? I don’t know, but I’m glad that I’ve found them now because they really are an interesting concept. UK Flooring Direct has several different options, and some interesting information on cork floors as well. Cork floors are supposed to be much easier on your feet – for those that spend countless hours cooking for their families. This also makes a plate less likely to shatter when it hits the soft surface of the floor. [Perfect for my clumsy self!]

Plus, cork floors are also far more environmentally friendly than other options out there. I’ve read that cork comes from the bark of the tree, so pulling it from the tree does not destroy the tree completely.

Well, now I’m kind of upset that I don’t have any place to put cork floors in my house! What do you think of cork floors – do you love this look? Do you or anyone you know have them?
