There are so many different styles and designs of laminate flooring available, but I'm here to help you choose the perfect laminate for your home.


Laminate flooring has become increasingly popular and it’s not hard to see why, offering the same great looks as solid wood flooring at a fraction of the price.


Not only is laminate flooring more affordable, it’s also heavy duty and easy-to-clean making it a great choice for many areas around the home.

Laminate flooring for bathrooms


Although laminate flooring is not always considered the first choice for bathrooms, it can be absolutely be used.


When choosing a laminate floor for your bathroom, be sure to look for a slip resistant, waterproof option. 

Laminate flooring for kitchens


Laminate flooring is a great option for kitchens as any spills and stains can simply be wiped away with a damp cloth.


Look out for waterproof and scuff resistant laminate options as too much moisture can damage your flooring. 

Laminate flooring for hallways


Laminate flooring can create a stylish finish touch to your hallway, especially if you have stair carpet to create a contrasting look.


Hallways are a high traffic area of your home, so look for hard-wearing, durable options. 

Laminate flooring for living rooms


Laminate flooring is an ideal choice for living rooms as it’s easy to clean and creates a more modern look.


With so many different styles and finishes available, from traditional oak effect, to more contemporary grey and brown, you are sure to find the perfect living room laminate.

Laminate flooring for dining rooms


Similarly to living rooms, dining rooms are a great place for laminate flooring.


Dining rooms are quite low traffic areas, meaning any laminate flooring will work in the space.


You can also create a stylish focal point by placing a rug under your dining room table to protect the wood floor from any scratches.
