Our comprehensive guide explores the top flooring options to suit every budget, helping you make the best decision that works best for you and your space.
Budget-Friendly Flooring Options
Vinyl Flooring
Vinyl flooring is one of the most cost-effective and versatile flooring options available. Made from synthetic materials, this easily installed flooring option comes in a wide variety of colours, patterns, and styles.
Generally, vinyl flooring is cheaper than many other flooring options, making it perfect for budget-conscious consumers. For budding DIY enthusiasts, vinyl flooring provides options such as peel-and-stick tiles meaning that it can be installed quickly and easily, often without professional help!
Vinyl flooring can be used in any part of your home or work space and is especially popular in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms due to its water resistant properties. It’s generally considered to be durable too and is easy to clean, although it can be susceptible to damage from sharp objects and heavy furniture over time.
In terms of budget, you can expect to pay somewhere in the region of £61.54 to £95.14 to cover the space of a standard bathroom space or, for an average sized kitchen area, you could be looking at as little as somewhere between £324.87 and £349.86 for your flooring remodel.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is designed to mimic the appearance of hardwood, stone, or tile without breaking the bank. Made from a photographic layer under a clear protective coating, it offers realistic visuals at a fraction of the price.
Additionally, the protective top layer makes laminate ideal for homes with pets and children as it tends to be more durable and hard-wearing. Ideal for busy families, laminate requires minimal upkeep, needing only regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping.
The only place that you may want to avoid installing laminate flooring is areas prone to moisture or spillages as, although laminate is durable, it’s not waterproof.
Laminate flooring is commonplace in living room and office spaces so if you’re looking to remodel the flooring in one of these spaces, you can expect to pay around £444.43 to £647.15 to cover an average sized living room with a more expensive choice of vinyl tile. Alternatively, for a less expensive vinyl tile choice, you can expect to pay as little as £172.39 to £298.89 for an average home office space.
Mid-Range Flooring Options
Carpet
Carpet remains a popular flooring choice for its warmth, comfort, and variety of colours and textures. It's especially favoured in bedrooms, living rooms, and areas where comfort underfoot is a priority – so, essentially, everywhere!
Carpet provides a soft, warm surface, perfect for cosy spaces. It effectively dampens sound, creating a quieter environment, making it suitable for work environments and family homes alike. Available in countless colours, patterns, and styles to suit any decor.
It does, however, require regular cleaning to maintain its appearance and can be prone to staining which, depending on the colour or pattern, can be noticeable. To help you choose which carpet works best for you, we’ve discussed this very issue here!
If you decide that carpet is the best choice for you and your space, you can expect to pay in the region of £222.55 to £708.55 for an average master bedroom flooring remodel, or even in the region of £91.89 to £126.39 for a smaller bedroom space.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT)
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is well known for its durability and resilience. Designed to withstand heavy traffic, LVT is resistant to scratches, stains, and water.
Maintenance is simple and straightforward as you simply need to sweep or vacuum your vinyl flooring on a regular basis to keep it looking fresh and new. Maintenance of your LVT flooring will not only keep your vinyl flooring clean and clear but will reduce the likelihood of scratches and damage occurring from debris on your vinyl flooring too.
Generally speaking, LVT has a wide range of designs suitable for any space, including realistic wood and stone designs. Here at Wall2Wall Carpets and Flooring, we have a wide range of fantastic, high quality LVT flooring options which can be viewed on our website.
LVT flooring is relatively easy to install, with options to choose between ‘glue-down’ or ‘click-and-lock’ installation methods, making it perfect for DIY masters and novices alike.
On an even better note, the cost of LVT will only set you back around £363.87 to £391.86 to cover the average kitchen area.
