While bamboo is relatively new to the United States, it's been used in China for thousands of years. Bamboo flooring is elegant, durable and can look remarkably similar to hardwood flooring. It’s also a very eco-friendly floor, as bamboo is an abundant resource and grows faster than most trees. This has made bamboo an extremely popular floor choice for those who are eco-conscious or those who just want something a little different. Even though bamboo is very hard, like hardwood floors, bamboo flooring can scratch. Just keep the surface clean and consider adding area rugs to the high traffic areas. Not only are accent rugs or scatter rugs a great way to add to the design element of a room, but they also serve a valuable purpose.
