Transform your hallway with statement floors

First impressions count, so why not elevate the entrance to your home with a hallway makeover which embraces the latest trends?

 Alex Heslop, Trend Expert at Flooring Superstore, shares their top tips on how to take your hallway design up a notch. “Hallways plays a huge role in setting the tone for your home and should have a well thought out décor which complements the rest of your house. As one of the highest traffic areas in the home, a durable flooring choice is a must.”

Traditional tiles

“Traditonal patterned tiled floors are having a resurgence and hallways are a fantastic place to experiment with your décor. Mosaic designs add character and charm to any interior and there’s something to suit all budgets – whether you opt for ceramic, porcelain or vinyl tiles, they’re a great way to flex your creativity.

“Geometric or mosaic patterns add a dose of elegance and style to a modern home, and they can even provide added depth to your hallway through an optical illusion, which is ideal for narrow spaces.”

Sleek and contemporary tiles

“Elevate your entrance by opting for a neutral-coloured tiles for a luxe hotel vibe, which creates a sense of space. Light coloured tiles will blend seamlessly with the rest of your interior, are easy to keep clean and can be an affordable choice. Natural stone finishes like marble, or marble-effect give a clean and modern aesthetic to contemporary interiors.

“Vinyl flooring options are a fantastic way to achieve the statement look of stone, without the price tag and installation costs that porcelain and ceramic can carry.”

Timeless hardwood and wood-effect

“Wooden floors will never go out of style and is a great option for busy hallways and the rest of your home. Lighter wood panels better reflects the light and can make hallways appear larger, however, darker wood is becoming increasingly popular, and when paired with the right wall colour, can work equally as well in narrow spaces.

“LVT has come a long way in both style and functionality in recent years and is a great option for those who want to look, feel and charm of real wood but for a more affordable price and with added durability.
