The Best Flooring for Every Room in Your Home 

When it comes to your homes flooring, you are free to be as creative as you like. The very best flooring for your home is no longer shag carpeting and porcelain tiles. 

 

 

Kitchens, Foyers and Mudrooms 

Kitchens, foyers and mudrooms require the most durable floors in your home. Dirty shoes, water dripping from wet clothing, furniture being moved, and daily wear and tear... 

Hard wood might seem like a great choice but, it just won’t stand up well to all of that punishment. Wood floors are far more prone to denting and scuffing than other materials. 

 

The Best Option: Porcelain Tile 

Great for high-traffic areas, these tiles outperform every other flooring material for this type of application. When investing into something like flooring... make sure you are picking the right choice for the right situation. 

These tiles come in a huge selection of styles. From small mosaic to large scale beautiful tiles that are pieces of artwork themselves. Tile is very low-maintenance, ­normally only requiring vacuuming and mopping to stay clean. 

 

Bathrooms & Laundry Rooms 

Less heavy foot traffic than kitchens, foyers and mudrooms, but still high traffic.  Bathrooms and laundry rooms should feel and look comfortable, be easy to clean and at the same time be a beautiful addition to the flooring aspect of your homes design. Water resistance is key here. Flooring threats in these rooms come in liquid form. bath water, detergent backed up water from a toilet... all things that require quick easy clean-up and a flooring material that will go the distance when it comes to protecting your homes integrity. 

 

The Best Option: Luxury Vinyl Plank 

Water resistant, an insane amount of color, design and even size options and the ability to mimic the look of wood flooring. When you need a floor that will stand the test of time under the wet conditions listed above... there is only one choice... LVP. 

 

 

Dining, Living, and Family Rooms 

Your relaxation stations. All places where comfort is key. Both visually and physically. These areas are far less affected by large amounts of foot traffic or other outside dangers. These rooms should bring a sense of calm and comfort. Don't worry as much about trying to protect these floors, after all this is a home, not a showroom a little bit of "character" can add to the design of your home.” 

 

The Best Option: Solid Wood Flooring 

There are many reasons to go the route of solid wood flooring for these rooms. However, in our opinion the best reason to go with solid wood flooring is the fact that it grounds you back to nature. There is nothing like feeling the grain of a gorgeous hardwood floor under sockless feet. When you are looking for something that will make your house a home, it has been known for many years, there is not much like a professional hardwood floor. 

 

Basements 

This will all depend on application; will your basement be the kid's new playroom? Great lay some funky colored carpet and call it a day, will it be your husbands new man cave area? Awesome think about laying some LVP in case of spills and to keep down on damage from his crazy friends on game day. How about a quiet little area for arts and crafts for the lady of the house to escape to? You might want to think about a neutral-colored carpet or an easy to clean tile option. When it comes to basements the sky is the limit. Come in and talk to the experts at Goshen Floor Mart and we will ensure you are more than happy with your next flooring choice.
