A comprehensive guide to selecting flooring materials that balance aesthetics, durability, and budget.
Home Renovation Guide
Flooring is one of the most impactful decisions you'll make when renovating. The right floor can transform a space, while the wrong choice can create ongoing frustration and expense.
Consider the function of each room carefully. High-traffic areas like hallways need durable materials that can withstand constant use, while bedrooms offer more flexibility for softer, more luxurious options.
Engineered wood has become the go-to choice for many homeowners, offering the beauty of real wood with greater stability and water resistance. It's suitable for most rooms and can even be installed over underfloor heating.
For bathrooms and kitchens, consider luxury vinyl tile (LVT) or porcelain. Both offer excellent water resistance and durability, with modern designs that convincingly replicate natural materials.
