Deck the halls with brand new flooring!

Deck the halls with brand new flooring… The idea sounds great, but what flooring types should you choose? That’s the real quiz. Could the answer be a warm carpet?

It’s the time of year when once again you are running out of ideas of what to get others when it comes to Christmas. But wait… you remembered your mum and dad are renovating their home and want new flooring for their living room. What’s that? They want it in time for Christmas and their New Year party! Is this possible? With Flooring Direct it is! Order before the 16th December and we could get flooring directly toy our door, even if it just a sample. After all, it is the thought that counts…

The most wonderful (stressful) time of year

Despite all the stress and panic that so many people experience at this time of year, with the shops getting busier and the nights drawing in, we’re loving it at Flooring Direct because it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Don’t let your Christmas Tree be the only decoration this year! Try a brand new carpet!

With new warm carpet comes a new lease of life. Imagine walking around on Christmas morning and being able to walk barefoot in your slippers and not feel a draught coming up. Cold feet are many people’s nightmare in the winter months… but a warm carpet could and should solve this issue. Decorating as a family and with friends puts people in a positive mood, especially if you are doing up the outside and the inside! But you shouldn’t stop at the Christmas tree, a brand new carpet could give you a warm feeling! Let Flooring Direct give you a helping hand. A warm carpet is ideal for you.

The important question is, what is the best kind of flooring to host your festive plans? Which ones will survive the volume of traffic that will inevitably increase?!

Wood flooring

Wood flooring has the benefit of practicality and also value. Wood flooring will significantly increase the value of your home as it lasts a lifetime! Although this might not be at the forefront of your mind, it is important. Wood also looks lovely, and at Christmas time it is important to show off! It can be difficult to clean, so if you are planning on having a big party then there is that to consider, alongside its ability to deal with the big increase in traffic that so often appears. In 2020, the fashion, when people are choosing their flooring types, is to go for durability, and this is certainly something wood is able to offer. Would we consider it a good option if you are planning on having a big Christmas party? Probably not…

Vinyl flooring

Vinyl flooring is perfect for high traffic areas of the house, which will be even more prevalent as Christmas ticks around, especially the kitchen. The kitchen is where so many people congregate at Christmas times, all gathered around to make sure they are not missing out on that last bottle of wine, or even some of the scraps from the leftover turkey. It doesn’t even have to be Christmas Day, people are still flocking into the kitchen for some cocktails or bottles. Nibbles are traditionally available in someone’s kitchen around Christmas time… and if you are the host or know someone who is hosting, Vinyl flooring is where you need to be.

Durable with a long-term mindset, the spills and thrills on vinyl flooring will wipe straight off! It is easier to clean than wood and laminate flooring, and Flooring Direct are able to offer so many different styles and colours. Technology nowadays means that your vinyl flooring will also look incredibly realistic. You can opt for the look of hardwood flooring, slate or even stone, as well as wood flooring at a much cheaper price then you could find elsewhere. Would it beat a warm carpet in the winter? Probably not, but it would definitely be a good shout for the kitchen.

Carpet – A nice warm carpet

So good we named it twice! There is a reason that many people opt for carpet flooring in their homes. During the winter, there is nothing better than a warm carpet. Carpet helps to insulate your home, but, and not many people know this, it provides a natural air filter. It can also be a saviour for dropped glass or that one tipsy Uncle who falls over after one glass too many. the only negative going against carpet is that it can be a nightmare to clean, think red wine on a beige carpet!

If you’ve had carpet before and are worried about treading in the dirt, or have that child or dog that is mucky regardless, then this is perhaps not ideal for family gatherings and Christmas parties. The mud that people traipse through can be so frustrating and we would hate for your brand new carpet to be ruined. Maybe wait till next year? It would definitely be our choice if you do not have a pet or a garden!

Regardless of what your preferred choice is, you deserve to treat yourself this Christmas! New year, new you, new carpet! Carpet samples from Flooring Direct are exactly what you need!
