Which type of flooring is best for each room of the home?

BEST TYPE OF FLOORING FOR THE LIVING ROOM

Taking the unofficial title as ‘social hub of the home’, the living room has certainly worked hard for its appellation. From furniture feet to the human kind, there are endless daily demands that test this shared space. This is why so many Australian homeowners choose hardwood flooring.

This popular option is perfect for high traffic areas due to its unbeatable engineered qualities and synonymous longevity. Timber flooring is also renowned for its timeless visual appeal and its ability to bring warmth and style into a space.

Finish your living room with a plush rug to make your guests feel right at home.

BEST TYPE OF FLOORING FOR THE BEDROOM

Create your own secluded sanctuary by choosing carpet in the bedroom. With less foot traffic than most other spaces, homeowners can get away with using a softer fabric without worrying about tread marks and damage. Instead, reap the rewards of undeniable comfort and warmth thanks to great insulating properties and pile type – all of which helps build your own relaxing retreat.

BEST TYPE OF FLOORING FOR THE KITCHEN

Get the look of luxury for less by using vinyl flooring in your kitchen. Expertly engineered to dupe the design of luxury hardwood planks and ceramic tiles, this style of flooring is also created to withstand the demands of areas prone to moisture, such as the kitchen. With 100 per cent water resistance and high durability, spills, high traffic and the risk of other issues are taken care of.

BEST TYPE OF FLOORING FOR THE KIDS’ BEDROOM

In your child’s bedroom, who knows what adventure awaits? However, you can be sure of one thing – playtime is no match for laminate flooring. Comprised of a unique layering system that features a resilient substrate and top protective wear sheet, laminate is perfect at keeping scratches and other rambunctious playtime risks at bay. Just like the previous living room scenario, introduce an array of rugs to bring in an extra element of comfort and fun.
