FAQ
General
What type of flooring is best for a living room?
While carpet has been the flooring of choice for years, more people are turning to harder, more durable surfaces. It is easier to maintain engineered timber, laminate, or luxury vinyl tiles in busy living spaces. At Online Flooring Store, our team recommends vinyl planks for a living room due to their durability, sound absorption, and easy maintenance.
What are the two biggest trends in living room flooring?
If you like to keep up with the latest, trendiest interior décor trends, consider wood patterns and oversized planks for your living room. Wood patterns, such as chevron and herringbone designs, are considered an easy way to add elegance and variety to your flooring. Oversized planks, which refer to planks over 3 inches in width, make even small rooms appear larger. They also help turn your flooring into more of a statement piece.
What is the most low-maintenance living room flooring?
Vinyl plank flooring offers the lowest maintenance for living room flooring. Compared to similar products, such as laminate, vinyl flooring is more often waterproof. You can more easily clean up spills effectively with vinyl planks. Vinyl plank flooring is ideal for a living room, too, due to its durable design and stable construction.

Style & Design
Should the kitchen and living room have the same flooring?
Consider the overall design of your home and the feeling you want to convey in each room. Do not feel like you need to pick different flooring for every space in your home. Instead, try to find the best flooring that fits multiple rooms. Using the same flooring throughout your home, especially gathering spaces, gives the impression of continuity and consistency.
Should living area floors be darker or lighter than the walls?
If you are following popular design rules, pick flooring for your living area that is darker than the walls. Experts agree that lighter walls paired with darker floors help rooms feel bigger. You can make even a tight living room space appear more open with the right pairing of colours.
Which colour of living room flooring is best for my home?
There is no simple answer when it comes to the best flooring colour for your home. Flooring color depends a lot on the purpose of a space, the size of the room, and other colours in the interior. Think about the overall effect you wish to create with a flooring colour. If you want the space to appear more open and brighter, think about a light, breathable shade of flooring. But if you want to balance out lighter décor, a darker flooring colour is ideal.
Is it better to have carpet or hardwood flooring in the living room?
If you are thinking in terms of longevity and long-term value, choose hardwood flooring over carpet for your living areas. Hardwood flooring, whether it is solid timber or an engineered product, has a more elegant look and is more durable. Carpet, however, is a good option for those worried about comfort and safety.
