Floors take up a lot of visual space and make a huge difference to the look of your room, so it’s important you get it right. It’s not every day you get to change the floor so we’ll walk you through the various types so you can choose wisely. You’ll need to decide which type of flooring suits your home, consider how you use the room and also factor in your budget carefully. Each type of flooring comes with its own advantages and disadvantages so you’ll need to weigh up your own aesthetic and practical considerations. Heavy traffic areas, such as hallways, will require a more hard-wearing floor that’ll stand up to constant use, whereas you’ll be able to get away with a more delicate floor in a bedroom. The colour and pattern scale of the flooring can be used to great effect, tricking the eye to make the room feel larger, or drawing the focus to a particular area.
