Flooring for Every Room

Stylish flooring sets the stage for the rest of the space. Selecting something that is durable, chic, and inviting will help to act as a strong foundation for the rest of your decorations and home furnishings.

Choosing the Right Flooring for Any Space

With many different types of flooring from which to choose, it is important to understand the needs of the space and to select a product that will meet the needs of that area while providing the overall look you need to tie the room together. When it comes to bathroom flooring and kitchen flooring, the product needs to be resistant to water and messes. In living rooms and bedrooms, comfort is an important factor. Before selecting the right flooring for your area, consider the daily traffic patterns and the way in which the space is used.

Carpet and Carpet Tile

When it comes to softness and comfort, there's no better choice than carpet. Carpet has a way of bringing a cozy and inviting look to a space and comes in countless colours, textures, and patterns. Enhance your deck or patio with outdoor carpet to bring that feeling of comfort outside as well. Carpet tile is also a great choice when you’ve got an oddly-shaped or high-traffic area as they can be easily replaced if needed.

Tile

Tile flooring is a long-established favourite for use in kitchens and bathrooms because of its durability and resistance to moisture. Tile comes in ceramic, porcelain, glass, metal, and natural stone varieties, offering a wide array of looks from which to choose. Some materials are best suited for wall tile projects like bathroom walls and kitchen backsplashes, while others like ceramic and porcelain tiles are great options for bathroom floor tiles and kitchen tiles.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring provides the look of hardwood at a fraction of the flooring cost, making it a budget-friendly choice for flooring. Grey laminate flooring is a great option with lighter coloured furniture and accents. Waterproof laminate flooring is a good option for extra protection against the elements.

Hardwood Flooring

Nothing says traditional sophistication like hardwood floors. Hardwood floors come in a wide range of colours, finishes, and wood varieties. This is a popular option for hallways, bedrooms, and living room flooring. Oak and Maple hardwood flooring are beautiful choices for hardwood and look great in any area. Light wood floors or dark wood floors should be chosen based on your décor or wall paint colour.

Vinyl Flooring

Like laminate, luxury vinyl flooring provides the look of wood, but with an array of other benefits as well. Vinyl flooring is water-resistant, making it an ideal choice for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and homes with children or pets. There are a number of options to choose from when it comes to vinyl floors including groutable vinyl tiles, vinyl planks and vinyl sheets.

Add Soft Style with Area Rugs and Mats

Area rugs are a great way to add a layer of soft style to hard floors, protect floors in high-traffic areas, and introduce colours and texture to an interior design. The perimeter of the area rug helps to define the edges of a sitting area or living space as well. Place a rug pad under the area rug to help keep it securely in place on the hard floors and prevent the possibility of slipping. Door mats, car mats and anti-fatigue mats are also great options when selecting mats for other areas.

Garage Flooring for Comfort and Function

If your garage is your favourite place to unwind and tinker, proper garage flooring will make it a more comfortable place and easier to keep clean. Ribbed, diamond tread, and coin floor coverings are among the most popular garage flooring options. This flooring installs right over your concrete, keeping it protected from oil and other messes.

Gym Flooring

Interlocking foam mats are great for home gym flooring. They provide the cushion and friction you need while working out and protect your floors from damage. Exercise equipment mats are also great to have, they keep your equipment in place and shield your floors from scratches while you work out.

The Home Depot offers professional installation services for all types of flooring, making it easy to transform the look of a room with new floors. If you are planning to install the new floors yourself, make sure to select proper underlayment, flooring nailers, trim, and accessories to get a clean and professional look.
