Every home is a little different, and the best floor often changes from room to room. Instead of one "best" answer, here is how our five most popular flooring types compare, so you can pick with confidence for each space in your home.
Tile: the do-it-all classic
Tile is tough, easy to clean, and comes in more styles than most people expect, from wood-look planks to natural stone looks. It is the top choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways, and plenty of homeowners run it through the whole main level. Read more in choosing tile flooring.
LVP: comfortable, forgiving, and budget-friendly
Luxury vinyl plank gives you a wood look with a softer, warmer feel underfoot than tile, and it handles spills, pets, and kids exceptionally well. It is also one of our most affordably priced floors, which is part of why it has become one of our most requested options for kitchens and living areas. More in LVP: the floor for real life.
Laminate: a classic wood look
Laminate gives you a similar wood look to LVP and is a great fit for bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where moisture is less of a concern. See laminate flooring: style and value.
Hardwood: timeless and refinishable
Real wood floors bring a warmth and character that is hard to beat, and they can be refinished over the years instead of replaced. Hardwood is a favorite for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Details in hardwood flooring: timeless beauty.
Carpet: comfort first
Carpet is still the best choice when comfort and quiet matter most, like in bedrooms, playrooms, and media rooms. Read more in carpet: comfort you can feel.
Mixing floors throughout your home
Most of our customers do not use just one floor for the whole house. A common combo is tile or LVP through the kitchen and main living areas, with carpet or hardwood in the bedrooms. We help you pick tones and finishes that flow together so the whole home feels intentional, not pieced together.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best flooring for a Florida home?
There is not one single best floor for every room. Tile and LVP are the most popular choices because they hold up well to everyday life, while hardwood, laminate, and carpet each have rooms where they shine too.
Can I use the same floor throughout my whole home?
Yes, many homeowners choose one floor, often tile or LVP, for the entire main level for a clean, consistent look. Others mix floors by room, which also works well.
How do I know which floor is right for me?
Tell us how each room is used, kids, pets, a home office, a formal living room, and we will point you to a short list of great options to compare in person.
