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.
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?

I can see why you are loving this flooring - beautiful
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have wooden flooring in our flat but we are not allowed, gutted
ReplyDeleteWe have hard floors downstairs and mostly carpet upstairs which seems to work well. These laminates look nice.
ReplyDeleteWe are converting our garage soon into a family room so I've spent a lot of time looking at flooring too.
ReplyDeleteI think laminate is the way to go.
I think laminate is a great idea - especially with young children who make a mess!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, my Mum has them and they are fabulous and so easy to keep looking nice xx
ReplyDeleteThere's not many things nicer than beautiful flooring, is there? Makes such a difference to a room. We need to tackle our hall floor next, yikes x
ReplyDeleteWe're about to get laminate wood flooring in our lounge and I can't wait. Our carpet is in such a state we've wanted to make the change and I think we're going to go for it...thanks for the link, will check them out before we make our decision!
ReplyDeleteI love this, really hate carpet in our home, I want to rip it all up from upstairs! x
ReplyDeleteI think wooden floors can be really beautiful, I wish I had some in my house! xx
ReplyDeleteWe have hard floors on the hole of our ground floor and love it
ReplyDeleteI would love white painted floorboards but we have laminate and it is so practical and easy to clean when you have kids x
ReplyDeleteI have a wooden floor in my lounge rest of my house is carpeted. I like wooden floors but carpets are warmer in winter.
ReplyDeleteWe've used Kahndean in our kitchen, similar to Amtico and we love it!
ReplyDeleteWe 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
ReplyDeleteOh I love these inspiring images and I too am a huge fan or exposed wooden flooring - grew up with it and cannot wait to have a house that is not carpeted!
ReplyDeleteLaura x
I really love wooden flooring and ever since we lived in Australia I have gone right of carpets in the house! Very inspiring to see your photo's of the gorgeous flooring :)
ReplyDeleteit looks lovely, but having lived with laminate for so long and finally getting carpet after 10yrs waiting for the husband to change his mind im enjoying the comfort now
ReplyDeletelove laminate flooring so much!
ReplyDeleteI adore wooden flooring and so need to get our carpets out in favour of the wood! ;-0
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks fab - we went for vinyl that looks like wood as its easy to clean and very forgiving
ReplyDeleteI love a nice wooden floor but i have laminate flooring as I wouldn't be able to keep up with a wooden floor with my kids.
ReplyDeleteOh I have a thing with floors too. Laminate works for us at the moment, but would love some real wood again one day.
ReplyDeleteOOh I would like it in my kitchen but not my living room I hated it in there .
ReplyDeleteoh don't get me started on wooden floors! We've got both in our house and laminate is definitely easier to keep looking clean (we made a bit of a silly choice having WHITE painted floorboards and laminate, pretty but shows up everything!)
ReplyDeleteI am liking that flooring rather alot x
ReplyDeleteLaminate flooring has got so interesting these days, the possibilities are endless.
ReplyDeleteI have red tiles that we inherited when we move in, they are lovely but I wish for underfloor heating!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait for wooden floors one day...! I'd love to have white floors but am so clumsy that I don't think it will be a wise move x
ReplyDeleteNever mind the floors... the whole room is gorgeous!
