16 Clever, Transformational Flooring Tips

There’s more to a floor than carpet, laminate or boards. These essential surfaces have an enduring impact on any interior, quietly influencing the look and feel of a room while often escaping the attention of “revampers” keen to update a space. As it happens, changing your flooring can make a vast visual impact on any interior, altering everything from the appearance of space to the overall atmosphere.

This makes Origin Global’s inspired blog, packed with transformational tips and tricks, a worthwhile read. Whether adding a splash of colour to parquet for a bright, contemporary feel or blending interior and exterior flooring to create continuity and an enhanced space, there’s much to learn from this list.

How to Choose Engineered Wood Flooring

Are you considering installing engineered wood flooring for the first time? Perhaps you’re working with a client who wants to install this form of real wood flooring. This guide is a helpful starting point. Put together by the Homebuilding.com team, this handy resource covers everything from the cost of engineered wood, its pros and cons, which type of wood is right for a particular interior, its durability and those all-important “must-know” facts about this material.

The Room-by-Room Guide to Flooring

One size rarely fits all in our diverse world – and the same is true when selecting the right flooring for each room in a property. What works perfectly in the bedroom may be a poor choice for your bathroom. And while the humidity-proof option selected for a bathroom may be a smart decision, this may not necessarily be true for a kitchen. Fortunately, the experienced team at Lincolnshire Flooring have very helpfully put together a complete, room-by-room guide to flooring to sort all the confusion out. Thanks, guys!
