3 Beautiful Flooring Ideas That Will Last A Lifetime

If you want to add maximum value to your property, then installing some high-quality flooring is a good investment. It will last far longer than basic carpet and linoleum and add a level of sophistication to your home. There are so many different options, from heavy tiles to beautifully polished engineered hardwood, so you can easily find something that will fit in perfectly with your interior design scheme.

Marble flooring

Marble flooring is a real financial investment but will last a lifetime and add grandeur to your home. If you are installing flooring with the intention of staging your house ready for sale, it may be worth using an equity release scheme in order to finance your flooring.

You can then recoup the value when you sell your house. Marble has the benefit of being cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is a great insulator and can help to reduce your heating bills in the long term. Marble is easy to clean and will look particularly good incorporated into your bathroom design.

Slate tiles

Slate tiles are all natural and can last for centuries. It is a really striking choice for a living area and are extremely hard wearing. Slate can come in many different finishes, all of them soft underfoot and warm to the touch. Sandblasted or honed slate has a smooth and glossy look that will add a level of sophistication to your home. In contrast, slate with a natural cleft is wonderful for a large, country kitchen. It is rustic, durable and incredibly easy to clean – you just need warm, soapy water.

Oak flooring

Oak flooring will look spectacular in any home and will increase your home’s value. It needs very little maintenance, just a little brushing or light vacuuming. Oak is naturally resistant to fungus, moisture and insects, which makes it a really hygienic option for a family. From an aesthetics point of view, oak is a timeless material that won’t date. It will still look classically beautiful in 20 years time, unlike that highly patterned carpet, that may be on point this year but dates very badly. Oak is a classic choice for a house proud owner with a tasteful sense of interior design.

Good quality flooring is well worth the investment if you want to add value to your home. Even better, it will look effortlessly stylish and last a lifetime.
