Hallway Flooring

About Hallway Flooring

Your hallway deserves more than just footsteps. It's the first impression your home makes, setting the tone for the rest. At Best4Flooring, we offer a wide range of stylish and durable flooring solutions to transform your hallway.

What’s the best flooring for hallways?

At Best4Flooring, we prioritise your lifestyle needs, ensuring that your hallway floor not only withstands high traffic but also complements your aesthetic preferences. In high-traffic areas like hallways, durability is non-negotiable. Our range of laminate, sheet vinyl, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring options are engineered to endure the rigours of daily use. These materials offer exceptional resilience against scratches, scuffs, and dents, ensuring your hallway retains its pristine appearance for years to come.

Spills and moisture are inevitable in busy households. For unparalleled water resistance, sheet vinyl flooring stands out as the optimal choice for those rainy days (and in the UK, we know there are many!). Our sheet vinyl selections provide a protective barrier against water damage, making them ideal for hallways prone to spills or tracked-in moisture. Or, if you’re looking for carpet options to enhance the comfort of your hallway, we have some great options available. Check out our hardwearing carpet options - timelessly cosy carpets provide warmth underfoot while enhancing the welcoming ambience of your hallway entrance. 

Is vinyl flooring good for a hallway?

Yes, vinyl flooring can be an excellent choice for a hallway. Vinyl flooring is known for its durability, water resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it particularly well-suited for high-traffic areas like hallways. It can withstand the wear and tear of daily foot traffic, resist scratches and scuffs, and is also resistant to moisture, making it less prone to damage from spills or tracked-in water. Additionally, vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of styles, colours, and patterns, like Victorian tile effect options and realistic hardwood style options (without the maintenance), allowing you to choose an option that complements your hallway's aesthetic while providing the durability and practicality you need.

Learn all about the pros and cons of vinyl flooring to see if it’s the right choice for your hallway.

Is laminate flooring suitable for hallways and pets?

Busy pet-filled hallways need flooring that's both stylish and tough! Laminate offers a great solution with its easy maintenance –  regular sweeping and mopping keep things looking spick and span. Plus, laminate's durability can handle everyday pet traffic, and with regular claw trimming, scratches become less of a concern. Discover our handy guide “Why Laminate is the Purrfect Choice” for more information 

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

What is the best flooring for a small hallway?

Small hallways deserve big style! When choosing hallway flooring, consider creating a unified look by extending your hallway flooring throughout your stairs and upper hallway. This works particularly well with carpet, offering a continuous flow and cosy feel. Smaller geometric patterns or stripes running lengthwise can add visual movement and make the space feel longer; check out our Pattern Play carpet range for fun zigzag carpet options.

But don't be afraid to explore other options! Lighter-coloured laminate, vinyl, or wood-look floors can create a sense of airiness. Opt for glossy finishes on tiles or laminate for a touch of light-reflecting magic that expands the space. And don't forget your stairs! If you prefer smooth flooring throughout, a stylish stair runner adds comfort and visual interest and helps prevent slips. We even have a handy guide to help you navigate the world of stair flooring. With these tips and our wide range of flooring options, you can transform your small hallway into a stylish and welcoming space that feels much larger.

How do you make a small hallway look expensive?

Light reflects luxury! Transform your small hallway with light-coloured floors like laminate, vinyl, or light wood-look options. Take it a step further with glossy finishes or strategically patterned hallway carpet, creating an illusion of spaciousness. Elevate the look with high-quality wood or stone-look tiles, or lay laminate/vinyl in a herringbone pattern for a touch of elegance.
