Flooring for living rooms

Check out our top tips to help you choose the right style of flooring for your living room

Points to consider:

  • Living rooms are high traffic areas so pick durable flooring that's heavy duty

  • A patterned carpet will bring interest to neutral living rooms, but if it's staying power you're after, then a neutral carpet is the way to go.

  • Stripes are super-smart and on trend this season, and they won't show up marks either

  • Choose a flooring that's soft under foot for comfort

Shop for the look:
Brintons
Ryalux
