Flooring is one of the most visible choices in a renovation It sets the tone of a room and impacts comfort and durability Hardwood is classic but it can be expensive and sensitive to moisture Laminate offers a similar look for less though it may not last as long Vinyl plank is becoming popular because it balances price with durability and comes in endless styles
I learned during my own renovation that flooring costs can quickly add up not just for materials but also for installation Cutting costs means considering DIY options for easier floors like laminate or vinyl Tile requires skill but is a long lasting choice especially for bathrooms and kitchens
It helps to get samples and see them in natural light before making a choice What looks good in the store may feel different at home Budget wisely because replacing flooring later is costly
Final thought: Floors are the foundation of design and worth careful planning What type of flooring would you choose if cost were not a factor
