An artificial flooring, Laminate Flooring is alternatively called floating wood tile also. It can be a great choice if you are looking for a substitute for Natural or Hardwood Flooring. These days, you will get laminate flooring in various sizes, designs, colours and wooden layouts.

Salient features of laminate flooring include:

  • Stain-proof to even cigarette stains

The floors of your house are the pivotal point of attraction that draws the attention of your invitees first. So, it has to be compelling and attractive enough. It creates a distinct palette and tone for every room of your abode.

In fact, you can change the feel and appearance of any of your rooms strikingly simply by changing the floors of that area. However, picking the best flooring tiles for your living room is not as easy as it may seem.

When choosing floor tiles for your house, you have to be extremely careful and attentive so that no unwanted pitfalls or unexpected outcomes arise in the middle of this process. Unlike hardwood, granite or marble floors, floor tiles require the least of maintenance and care.

Floor Tiling Tips and Considerations

Despite that, there are quite a few things that you need to keep in mind before shopping for these flooring options. So, without any further ado, let’s dive into the aspects of considering which you can purchase the finest floor tiles for your dream home.

Avoid choosing a tile that doesn’t serve your everyday needs

Tiles can enhance the beauty and intrinsic value of your home to a great extent. Hence, avoid choosing a material that hardly serves your day-to-day needs. Don’t get lured by fancy flooring tiles as they are more appealing to the eyes as compared to any other flooring choices.

In fact, it’s better not to choose glossy flooring for rooms that get the maximum footprint throughout the entire day. Going for such tiles means increasing the possibility of frequent accidents and slips, particularly if you have kids and pets in your home.

That’s why, you must choose a material that is suitable according to the everyday requirements of you and your family members. For this, you can always contact your nearest floor dealer. A team of professionals there would guide you to opt for the best flooring option that goes perfectly well with your and your family members’ practical needs.

Don’t go for cheaper flooring options just to save a few bucks

Shopping for your flooring tiles doesn’t mean splurging money on that unnecessarily. So, you must set a fixed budget beforehand and start looking for your desired flooring option accordingly.

However, make sure that you have accumulated adequate funds to purchase favourably good-quality flooring. Look into the many varieties that are available in the market. In this process, make sure that you don’t end up selecting any cheap flooring tile just to save a little bit of money.

To avoid any such mess, it’s best to hire a reputed tiling contractor who is known for selling first-rate floorings in the market. When doing so, take your time and see which dealer offers premium flooring solutions at affordable rates and who charges expensive prices against the same.

In a word, it’s best to opt for a tiles company or brand that offers excellent flooring tiles at pocket-friendly prices. This way you are not just buying good-quality floors but that too within the means of your budget.

Reach out to a reliable tiling specialist

Installing tiles on your own is not quite an easy task to perform. You must have sufficient knowledge and acumen in that craft to ensure your flooring installation has been done perfectly.

Why take so much risk when professionals are there to do the same for you? A reputable flooring company often comprises specialists who know the nitty-gritty and ifs and buts related to any sort of flooring installation.

So, hiring them means installing floor tiles with greater precision and flawlessness. These individuals will also give you some additional tips and advice on how to maintain your flooring tiles in the best possible way.

Decide on the wall tiles before selecting a shade for your grout

It’s way better to purchase a suitable grout than just replacing it over and over again in due course. So, take the final look at your floor tile seriously into consideration. This is because the ultimate appearance of your floors can play a crucial role in deciding the extent of shadow and light that will prevail in each of your rooms.

While doing so, pay attention to the tiles of your walls as well since they can impact the way your floors will seem to post their installation. As a result, you can select the choicest colour for your flooring tiles and lighten them or darken them up according to the encompassing atmosphere of your living space.

Do your own research

The living room is generally considered the heart of our home. In fact, we don’t consider any other part of our abode so special, be it our bathroom, basement, or kitchen. Hence, we often brainstorm many innovative ideas with our family to decorate our living room a bit unconventionally. What do we not do there? Sleeping, spending a gala time with guests and friends, reclining and reading our favorite storybooks, the list goes on. Now, the point is how to select tiles for the living room that we consider an imperative part of our house? Read on to learn more. 

Factors to consider

Selecting tiles for your living room is not easy. There are several factors worth taking into consideration before you make an informed decision. You will find plenty of tiling options in the market in terms of color, design, appearance, and durability. So, how to select tiles for the living room that cater to your unique needs? It’s that easy! With just a bit of mindfulness and conscious effort, you can certainly pick the most elegant, sleek, and stylish tiles for your living space. Having said that, here are some tips and tricks that would guide you to buy your living room tiles impeccably. 

Choose a fabulous color scheme

Considering the color of your living room tiles is of tantamount importance. In fact, it is the first thing that your friends or invitees will notice while chitchatting with you. So, it’s always better to choose brightly-colored tiles. Such tiles can be amazing mood enhancers no matter it’s the floor tiles or wall tiles. 

Choose a fabulous color scheme

On the contrary, exceptionally bright shades can be a huge turn-off that either your family members or acquaintances might dislike. The best solution, in this case, would be to opt for eye-soothing colors that often have calming effects on our minds. After all, it’s our living room where we mostly de-stress ourselves after a hectic day. 

Interestingly, gaudy colors can also make us feel disgusted and freaked out easily. What’s more, awfully vibrant hues can make you more susceptible to squint. Some of the popular color options that you can choose for your living room tiles are brown, beige, and grey. You can select any of these colors according to your exclusive tastes and preferences. 

Ambiance plays an essential role

Before shopping for your living room tiles,  ensure that the entire ambiance there exudes a home-away-from-home feel. Always remember that it is the place that’s going to get most of the foot traffic. In fact, both you and your guests will be spending the maximum time in your living room. Hence, the surrounding atmosphere must be feasible, warm, and inviting at the same time. 

Take the materials seriously into consideration

As already said, the place where people often come and go is your living room. So, while selecting the tiles for this space, you have to be a bit mindful of the materials. Make sure that they are durable and sturdy enough to give your living room tiles a long life. Vitrified and ceramic tile materials would be the best to purchase in this matter. 

Tiles made of these components generally last longer as a result of being strong and durable. Likewise, many tiles are made of porcelain, vitrified and double charge materials too. Such tiles assure an even greater lifespan and strength for their users. 

Emphasize maintenance and durability

Our living room has to bear a lot of frantic activities throughout the entire day. Whether it’s food spills staining the floors or objects falling on them, they often end up damaging the tiles. This is where choosing porcelain tiles comes into play. This tiling option is adequately stain-proof and strong, hence, last for a long period of time. 

Select a tile resembling hardwood

Do you have a penchant for hardwood floors? Then, installing it in your living room can be a great idea to implement. However, wooden flooring option is quite difficult to maintain since they tend to wear and tear easily over time. What to do now? The beauty of hardwood floors fascinates you but you don’t want to bear its hassle as well. In that case, you can go for the ceramic wood-look tile. 

These tiles only resemble hardwood but are extremely moisture and scratch repellent and durable at the same time. So, installing this tile in your living room means ensuring a flooring there that lasts for a lifetime. 

Alternatively, you can purchase ceramic that looks a lot like hardwood floors. Also, these floors are much colder and harder as compared to real wood floors. So, why waste time? Install this tiling option in your living room right away and create a jaw-dropping atmosphere all around. In fact, cleaning ceramic tiles is super-easy. However, there is a catch. As compared to other tiling variants, ceramic floors can be a bit expensive. Despite that, if you can afford them, then certainly go for it. 

Opt for porcelain or ceramic tiles

Ceramic Tiles

Porcelain and ceramic tiles go hand in hand in terms of look. However, the former is less penetrable and a bit stronger as compared to the latter. Although, slightly costlier than ceramic but buying porcelain tiles will be worth the investment. Available in a range of colors and designs, porcelain floors are perfect for homeowners having pets and children. In short, it is regarded as way more versatile, unlike the ceramic flooring options. 

Consider installing mosaic tiles

Want to ensure a great deal of artistry, texture, and color within your living space? Then, installing mosaic tiles in your living room is what you want. It works wonders when added to a small portion of your room, leaving the remaining area to look simple yet elegant. So, if you want a blast of design and color in your room, go for mosaic tiles without thinking twice. It is also a feasible option for those who want a long-lasting and easy-to-clean flooring option for their living space. 

Choose lighter-toned tiles 

Do you have a small living room that you want to make look bigger? Let light-colored tiles do the magic! In this case, consider selecting porcelain tiles with cream, white or beige color schemes to ensure a more spacious look.  

As a homeowner, you certainly want the color of your living space to be engaging and captivating enough, right? Lighter-toned tiles can make that possible for you. Before taking your pick, it would be best if you can try out some samples of various styles and colors. Finally, go for the one that best serves your needs. 

Go for tiles that compliment your daily lifestyle

Avoid getting lured by fancy tiles just out of fascination. Tiles that don’t cater to the practical requirements of your family members are of no use. So, instead, choose flooring options that compliment your daily lifestyle in the best possible way. 

What’s the point in adding slippery or glazed tiles only when it increases the chance of frequent slips and accidents for your pets and kids? Think pragmatically and zero in on the most convenient flooring choice for your living room. 

Make a discreet tiling choice!

How to Select Tiles For The Living Room? - Factors to consider
