I HAVE THIS THINGS WITH FLOORS // LAMINATE FLOORING

Pale Laminate Flooring from Carpetright  in Lounge
If you're a long time reader of my little corner of the internet you'll know that I have this thing with floors. Whenever I'm out and about you'll always find me snapping pics of interesting patterns, tiles and flooring that I find down by my feet. I'm also a huge fan of the scandinavian interiors, especially the pale coloured floors that appear in glossy magazines and fill up my pinterest feed.

Capetright laminate flooring

Our flat is carpeted throughout, with the exception of lino in the kitchen, and as I've been eager to spruce up our lounge for a while now I excitedly pulled back the carpet to reveal our floorboards. My heart sank a little as I realised that it would take quite a lot of work and money to get them into a decent condition and have them on show. So when I saw these shots of lovely light flooring I decided to research a little further and saw that Laminate flooring might be an option.

I'm not sure why this hadn't crossed my mind before! There are so many different styles and colours to choose from, plus it's cost effective and easy to lay. I think I might have found a solution to my sea of carpet, I can just imagine this Kensington Loft White in our lounge which looks exactly like the flooring in our Airbnb flat in Copenhagen. Just think of all the beautiful rugs you could choose to create a cool interior *swoon*.

I'd love to hear what flooring floats your boat?

  4. We are converting our garage soon into a family room so I've spent a lot of time looking at flooring too.

    I think laminate is the way to go.

  15. We have laminate through most of the flat, I wanted real wood at first but it is so much easier to deal with and looks I think just as good. x
