Living room flooring
The room that works hardest and gets looked at most. Your living room floor needs to feel good, look good and keep up with everyone.

The best floors for your living room

Warm, quiet and soft — a twist or wool-blend carpet makes a lounge feel instantly cosy.

Things to think about
-
Think about traffic
Busy family lounges suit hard-wearing twists, nylon carpets or AC4 laminate.
-
Mind the light
South-facing rooms can fade some carpets; ask us which fibres hold their colour.
-
Underfloor heating?
Many laminates and LVTs are compatible — tell us and we’ll pick the right underlay.
-
Keep it quiet
A quality underlay softens footsteps, especially in flats and upstairs rooms.
