Looking to breathe new life into your home without a full renovation? Updating your flooring is one of the most effective ways to transform any space in your home, adding both style, and value. Whether you're going for a cosy and classic look or a sleek and modern one, the right flooring can completely elevate the look and feel of any room.
Flooring is often subject to shoes, furniture scratches, spills and more - making the need for flooring that's both durable and easy to maintain a must for any modern home. In this blog, we’re going to take you through how to choose the right option for your home with our stylish and practical flooring ideas.
What type of flooring is best for your home?
Before we take you through these ideas, it’s worth noting that some types of flooring are better suited to wear and tear than others, whilst still remaining low maintenance. There are many different materials and options available when looking to upgrade your flooring; however, SPC (Stone Plastic Composite flooring) has become an increasingly popular choice in recent years due to its exceptional durability, waterproof nature, and stability.
Not only does SPC come in a variety of styles to suit any home décor, but they come with many great benefits such as resistance to scratches, dents, and water damage. This makes SPC flooring suitable for high-traffic areas and spaces prone to moisture like kitchens and bathrooms - a great solution for your entire home.
If you’d like to see what kinds of styles you can find with SPC flooring and how they can work in every room in your home, then keep reading as we dive into how you can improve your home with these luxury vinyl flooring options.
