INSPIRATION
READ OUR GUIDE BEFORE YOU BUY...
If you’re in need of an update underfoot, be inspired by these floorcoverings that’ll suit any space so you can tread carefully without compromising on style
VINYL
Are you looking for style and practicality in one? Then vinyl could be the perfect option. It ticks a lot of boxes, being scratch, stain and moisture resistant, easy to install and reasonably priced. And if you want to take it to the next level, try luxury vinyl tiles (LVT), for higher quality and realistic natural finishes, such as Ruskin, the new range from House Beautiful designed in collaboration with the experts at Carpetright, which offers an impressive range of wood-effect options.
LAMINATE
Resistant to scratches, stains, fading, burning, dogs and (most) children, laminate is a hardwearing flooring made up of layers of thin pressed board topped with a layer of resin. It comes in a huge range of fantastic designs – choose from bright colours and modern motifs, classic designs or wood-effect finishes, such as this smart parquet-effect pattern. As an inexpensive option that’s easy to install, it’s a great all-rounder.
CARPET
Soft underfoot, sound absorbing and the cosiest option of all, wall-to-wall carpet is the number one choice for many of us in spaces where we want to kick back and feel relaxed. Easy to clean options are ideal for busy homes and this chevron design from the House Beautiful Collection at Carpetright is as hardwearing as it’s good-looking, making it a smart choice for all busy homes.
RUGS
The easiest way to add colour, pattern or texture into a space? Get a rug. Or get a few and layer them up for a super-cosy feel – play around with different sizes and designs until you’re happy with the result. And the best bit is, it couldn’t be easier to switch them around when you want a change.
