Flooring isn't a one-size-fits-all decision. Each room has different needs, from comfort and warmth in bedrooms to durability and practicality in kitchens. Here’s a breakdown of the best flooring options for every space in your home.


Living room: The heart of the home

For a warm and stylish living room, engineered hardwood or LVT in a natural wood tone adds timeless elegance. Herringbone patterns or wide plank styles are particularly on trend.


Kitchen: Durability meets style

The kitchen demands a floor that’s both stylish and practical. LVT and high-quality vinyl offer waterproof, easy-to-clean surfaces that withstand spills and heavy foot traffic while maintaining a modern look.


Bedroom: Comfort & warmth

A bedroom should feel cosy and inviting. Soft carpets remain a popular choice for ultimate comfort, while engineered wood or LVT with underfloor heating offers a more contemporary feel.


Bathroom: Waterproof & resilient

Tiles, waterproof LVT, and high-quality vinyl are excellent choices for bathrooms, offering durability and resistance to moisture while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.


Hallways & stairs: High-traffic durability

These areas need flooring that can withstand heavy footfall. LVT, engineered wood, and durable carpets with stain-resistant treatments are ideal for maintaining a fresh, polished look.
