Which flooring option will be best for your living room?

Most people tend to spend most of their leisure time at home in the living room, so it’s wise to do all you can to make sure this particular room is the most comfortable and the most welcoming of them all. Whether you’re watching TV, listening to some music or playing board games with the kids, the more pleasing the surroundings, the more pleasure you’ll get.

When it comes to flooring, you have a number of options available to you. For many home-owners, the traditional carpeting is the number one choice. It’s hard-wearing, able to cope with plenty of foot traffic and comes in a huge variety of colours and patterns. There’s very little that can go wrong when you have carpeting in your living room.

It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that there are alternatives should you want to go with something different. In recent times engineered wood flooring has become increasingly popular and it’s easy to see why. It’s relatively simple to install, especially if you use professional flooring specialists, it’s durable and there are many different styles to choose from.

Stone flooring can be cool in summer, warm in winter

If you enjoy a smooth, contemporary finish, you may want to go for polished stone flooring. Again, this is a surface that’s extremely hard-wearing, and it’s easy to clean should you have a spillage to deal with. Another added bonus is that your contractor could also install underfloor heating before laying the stones. This will make the floor lovely and warm during the winter months.

Another interesting choice is luxury vinyl tile, which offers up a huge range of colours and patterns, making it suitable for all styles of living room décor. You can choose to have all one colour, for example, or you could mix and match to create an elegant array of geometric arrangements. The choice, as always, will be entirely up to the home-owner.

As you can see, there are options a-plenty when it comes to flooring in the living room. Whichever one you choose, however, you can also mix things up a little with the addition of a rug. Again, you have a fantastic selection of patterns, colours and styles, so it won’t be difficult to add a stylish touch that will draw the attention to anyone who walks into the room.
