Kitchens and bathrooms need flooring that can cope with real life.

Water, spills, steam, muddy shoes, dropped food, cleaning products and general daily use all need to be considered.

That’s why choosing flooring for these rooms is a bit different from choosing carpet for a bedroom or lounge.

Why vinyl is popular for kitchens

Vinyl is one of the most practical choices for kitchens.

It’s easy to clean, comfortable underfoot and available in lots of different styles.

You can choose from wood-effect vinyl, tile-effect vinyl, patterned vinyl and simple neutral options.

It’s a good choice if you want something that looks smart but is still easy to live with.

Why vinyl works well in bathrooms

Bathrooms need flooring that can handle moisture.

Vinyl is often a sensible option because it gives you a practical surface that can be wiped clean.

There are plenty of designs available now, so you don’t have to settle for something plain if you want a bit more character.

Can laminate work in kitchens?

Laminate can work well in some kitchens, depending on the product and how the space is used.

It gives a clean, wood-effect finish and can look lovely in open-plan spaces or homes where you want a more modern feel.

However, moisture is something to think about. If your kitchen gets a lot of spills, leaks or heavy use, it’s worth asking for advice before choosing.

Is carpet suitable for bathrooms?

Carpet is usually not the best choice for bathrooms.

Bathrooms are wet areas, and carpet can hold moisture. This can lead to smells, damp and hygiene issues.

For kitchens, carpet is also uncommon because spills and food mess can be difficult to clean.

What about utility rooms?

Vinyl is often a good option for utility rooms too.

These rooms can get muddy shoes, washing baskets, pet bowls and cleaning products, so a practical floor makes life easier.
