About Bedroom Flooring

What’s the best flooring for bedrooms?

The best flooring for your bedroom will depend upon your preferences. Bedroom flooring should be comfortable, practical, and quiet underfoot. Traditionally, carpets were once the preferred bedroom flooring choice due to their warmth and comfort. However, modern homes now feature various types of flooring for bedrooms.

If practicality and easy maintenance are your main concerns, bedroom vinyl flooring is ideal. These floors have a fantastic choice of abstract, wood, and stone effects, giving you plenty of design versatility. You can also invest in cushioned luxury vinyl tiles, which provides a naturally warm and comfortable feel.

Bedroom wooden flooring is ideal for those wanting to create a luxurious, relaxing, and stylish space. Together with high-quality underlay, solid wood flooring is an excellent choice in many bedroom styles. However, for some, wood flooring  can feel cold underfoot in the winter months. For a warmer wooden feel, choose bedroom laminate flooring to achieve the same look.

Is vinyl flooring good for a bedroom?

Our sheet vinyl flooring range is a great choice for any room in the home, including the bedroom. Unlike real wood, sheet vinyl provides a warm and comfortable feel underfoot. If you want maximum comfort, choose cushioned luxury vinyl flooring. This flooring solution boasts a thicker design which also helps to reduce sound, giving you double the benefits. 

Vinyl is easy to clean and resists scratches and stains, protecting your bedroom floor even with pets. An additional advantage is the price, ensuring you receive excellent value for your money. With a range of patterns and colours, vinyl can mimic more expensive flooring options like hardwood or stone at a lower price.

Is laminate good for a bedroom?

Laminate flooring can be an excellent choice for the bedroom. Laminate produces a realistic wood effect, helping you to create a stylish yet practical look. Bedroom laminate flooring isn’t quite as warm as cushioned vinyl. But you can place rugs down to protect your bare feet when you get in and out of bed.

Laminate flooring also offers a range of designs and finishes. If your perfect flooring choice is a traditional wood look, consider a rustic oak laminate. If you prefer something more contemporary, there's a style to match every bedroom aesthetic.

Another appealing aspect of laminate is its ease of maintenance. Laminate requires minimal effort to keep it looking pristine and is hard-wearing and water-resistant.

What’s more, it’s easy to install laminate flooring yourself. Read our handy guide to ensure a successful laminate flooring installation.

Should a bedroom floor be light or dark?

When choosing the colour of your bedroom floor, you need to consider the size of the room, as well as the look you want to achieve. Darker floors create a bold, cosy, and sophisticated look. On the other hand, lighter floors create a bright and airy feel. If you want to make a small bedroom appear larger, a lighter floor would be the ideal option.

Darker floors tend to suit larger rooms and open-plan spaces. Light-coloured floors are better for smaller areas, and they go a long way in helping to create a Scandinavian-style room. Clever use of patterns, such as herringbone, can make bedrooms feel even more spacious.

What is the most affordable bedroom flooring option?

There are affordable bedroom flooring options to suit everyone. However, if you want the lowest price option, go with bedroom vinyl flooring. While the cost of LVT flooring and laminate are similar, sheet vinyl tends to work out cheaper.
