Hardwood floors are suitable for any room of the house above ground, even those that tend to see the heaviest amounts of foot traffic. However, we do not generally recommend installing hardwood floors in bathrooms or basements due to their moisture issues. We always suggest adding welcome mats at doorways and area rugs in hallways or around sink areas to reduce the amount of dirt, dust, or moisture tracked onto your wood floors. The heavier the traffic, the harder you’ll have to work to keep your hardwood floors clean.
