Carpets / Real Woods / Laminates & Vinyls

Flooring tips

If you need help choosing and maintaining your flooring, check out some of the useful tips below*.

For the Bathroom

• Bathroom flooring needs to be waterproof, slip-resistant and easy to clean
• Pick flooring that won't get damaged or marked by water splashes

For the Living Room

• Living rooms are high traffic areas so pick durable flooring that's heavy duty
• A patterned carpet will bring interest to neutral living rooms, but if it's
  staying power you're after, then a neutral carpet is the way to go.
• Stripes are super-smart and on trend this season, and they won't show up marks either
• Choose a flooring that's soft under foot for comfort

For the Kitchen

• In a hard-working room, such as a kitchen, the flooring must be ultra-practical.
• Vinyl is the perfect choice - it's water resistant, warm underfoot and less likely to break a dropped glass
• Other brilliant buys include Karndean vinyl tiles that give the appearance of slate, ceramic, stone, wood and others types of natural finishes
• Dark flooring is less likely to show up marks and will create a striking contrast when teamed with pale units.
