Are you accustomed to the struggles of maintaining a cleanly home whilst raising a family? Cleaning is one of those tasks that will inevitably build up without routine and direct action. 

But what if we offered a future-proof hack; flooring choices to make life that little bit easier!

Now I know what you’re thinking, what exactly do I need to compromise - practicality or appearance? Truthfully, with the vast variety of modern flooring solutions available today, you get the best of both worlds. 

Whether you’re looking for a real wood finish to stain resistant luxury vinyl tiles, flooring LITERALLY comes in all different shapes and sizes! 

The end decision ultimately lies in the amount of use and footfall that your floor will endure over the years, so with this in mind, here are a few different options to consider: 

Solid Wood

As the most expensive option on this list, the early warning sign sets a rather negative tone into this elegant flooring solution. Whilst desirable, the problem with solid wood is that its not a family-friendly solution and is often prone to scratches, stains and water damage. There is however, one way to resolve this - sand it down! Engineered wood can often be refined by specialists in the trade and the thickness of this material does make it one of the more indestructible alternatives. 

Wood Effect Panels

Stain resistant, waterproof and anti- scratch - just a few beneficial properties of this flooring option. Often located in kitchens and bathrooms (due to its heat resistant qualities), this stylish and anti-slip flooring solution offers class and elegance to your home. Remove all trip and tumble concerns surrounding your little ones, without compromising on appearance quality. 

Laminate and LVT

Laminate and Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) is infamous for its ease of cleaning, making it (unsurprisingly) one of the most popular choices in the U.K. With an array of properties, this type of flooring is ideal for pets and little ones alike - saving you hours of vacuuming each week! Carpets are also prone to stains, meaning spills cause serious stress! With both Laminate and LVT, no more bills from specialist floor cleaners, simply wipe with warm soapy water! 

Over the past few years, under floor heating has grown tremendously in popularity. Luckily, this is something that is compatible with both Laminate and LVT, adding an extra layer of warmth into your home.
