Hard Flooring: The Obvious Choice
If you’re redoing the floors in your home, your mind likely sails straight to some type of hard flooring. Typically, what you envision is going to be hard wood, engineered wood, or Luxury Vinyl-Plank (LVP), but there are also some other options that can be considered.
When it comes to budget-friendly hard flooring options, vinyl sheet flooring, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), luxury vinyl tile (LVT), laminate, tile, and engineered hardwood are all solid contenders. Each option offers a level of durability and easy maintenance without breaking the bank.
Vinyl sheet flooring is a versatile choice, available in a wide range of styles and colors. Its water-resistant properties make it best-suited for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. Sheet vinyl is easy to clean and install… it’s the flooring you might have seen in massive rolls at the hardware stores. Wear life on sheet vinyl can be shorter than other more dense products.
LVP has exploded over recent years, and you will often see it in new-construction homes. Both luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) mimic the look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost. They are durable, water-resistant, and come in various attractive styles to suit any decor. Installation is pretty simple, often with a click-lock system, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners.
Laminate flooring is another economical option that offers the look of hardwood without the hefty price tag. While not as water-resistant as vinyl, laminate is still suitable for most areas of the home, excluding wet spaces like bathrooms and potentially kitchens or back entryways if you have a pool. Laminate flooring is easy to install and maintain, but has less of the luxury feel that LVP allows.
Lastly, tile and engineered hardwood are slightly higher in price compared to the aforementioned options but still provide value for money. Tile is durable, waterproof, and perfect for high-traffic areas like entryways and kitchens. Engineered hardwood is a type of flooring that is made from multiple layers of wood pressed together, which typically consists of a top layer of hardwood veneer that’s bonded to several layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) to create a stable and durable flooring material. This type of flooring feels solid, while also offering the warmth and beauty of real wood at a lower cost, making it an attractive option for living rooms and bedrooms.
Softer Flooring:
Of course, carpet is a classic choice for budget-friendly soft flooring. It adds warmth and comfort to any room, making it perfect for bedrooms, family rooms, and children’s play areas. With a wide range of colors and textures available, you can easily find a carpet that suits your style and budget.
While carpet offers plush surface and comfy padding, it’s essential to consider the maintenance requirements that you sign up for when installing a soft flooring. Regular vacuuming and occasional deep cleaning are necessary to keep your carpet looking plush. Despite its classic nature, you may seriously reconsider installing carpet if you have pets – beyond the odors that accompany potty accidents, carpet is easier for pets to damage with their teeth and nails. Additionally, carpet may not be the best choice for areas prone to spills or moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and dining spaces.
Where to Use Budget Flooring:
Beyond the limitations of where to place carpet and other types of flooring that are incompatible with moisture, certain rooms might be better visually and practically suited for budget flooring options than others.
Kids’ rooms, family-only rooms, basements, recreational rooms, and bonus rooms are ideal candidates for budget-friendly flooring. These areas are typically out of sight from guests and therefore get less traffic and less eyes on them. You can prioritize putting high-durability and high-end flooring in rooms that you might use for entertaining, or might have higher functions like your bathrooms and kitchen. You also might prefer to splurge on the flooring for your master bedroom… it’s your oasis after all!
Style and Flexibility:
One of the advantages of budget-friendly flooring options is their versatility in style. Whether your aesthetic is modern, traditional, or eclectic, there’s a flooring option to match. Vinyl, laminate, and tile come in a variety of patterns and colors, allowing you to achieve the look you desire without breaking the bank.
To make budget flooring work for your style, consider mixing and matching different materials. Play with textiles and textures, add luxurious looking linens to the space, and a nice accent rug. Tile Liquidators has custom-size rug orders available, if it’s in the budget! Elevate your floors with investment pieces and heirlooms to give your home balance! Don’t be afraid to get creative and think outside the box when it comes to flooring solutions.
Installation and Maintenance:
While DIY installation is possible for many budget-friendly flooring options, it’s essential to know your limits. While enlisting the help of friends or family members can make the installation process more manageable and enjoyable, complex installations, such as laying tile or hardwood, may require professional expertise to ensure a flawless finish.

Remember, investing time and effort into maintenance now can save you money on repairs and replacements down the road.
