Your flooring is your home’s foundation, and getting it right is important for setting the tone you want for your house. Vinyl flooring can offer a stunning and sleek look that can appease both classic and contemporary interior tastes.

Vinyl flooring allows you to choose from various patterns alongside natural effects like wood and stone. This versatility has made vinyl flooring a popular choice for many modern and classic homes. With our complete guide, you can discover the extensive range of options available and assess what would best suit your needs in each room of the house.

Why choose vinyl flooring?

Also known as cushion or lino flooring, vinyl flooring fills a room with warmth and comfort while being brilliantly practical. This practicality is ideal for homes with high traffic as it means you can spend less time worrying about mess and cleaning tough surfaces and more of your home time relaxing and doing the things you enjoy.

Here are some more reasons we enjoy vinyl flooring:

Durability

Vinyl flooring is incredibly durable, making it not just a purchase but an investment that will pay you back for years to come with its comfortable and warm feel. Water-based underfloor heating also works excellently with vinyl flooring, creating a soft and cosy feel when walking across a room.

Easy installation

At Morgan & Quinn, we offer 2m, 3m, and 4m vinyl rolls, making the installation process as smooth as possible. There is no need for joints and complex cuttings, just a simple and aesthetically pleasing floor.

Range of artificial and natural looks

Vinyl flooring allows your imagination to take control. If you’ve always pictured your home with an oak-wooden aesthetic, you can make that happen. You can have it your way, from natural looks like wood and stone to contemporary tilings and even eccentric patterns and designs.

Cost-effective

Natural flooring products can be expensive, but vinyl flooring offers a cheaper, yet still very attractive, alternative. You can replicate the look of a floor that would cost well above your budget for a fraction of the price.

Styles of vinyl flooring

At Morgan & Quinn, we have a vinyl flooring style to suit every home and aesthetic. Getting your perfect interior right is important, so you need to know what options are available and what vinyl flooring styles there are.

  • Contemporary – Choose contemporary vinyl flooring with cutting-edge patterns and textures for a modern feeling room. Striped and geometric patterns achieve a contemporary look brilliantly.
  • Mosaic – Make your home truly yours and let your personality shape what your vinyl flooring looks like. Let your imagination run wild with quirky and unconventional patterns.
  • Plain – If minimalism is your preferred style, then plain vinyl flooring can suit your needs perfectly. Simplistic colours like light grey create a subtle and charming atmosphere. It’s also a stylish choice, as minimalism is currently on-trend.
  • Tile – Save on expensive materials with tile-style vinyl flooring. This flooring option gives all the same impressions as a tiled floor without massive expenditure. Perfect for designing an interior on a budget.

Vinyl flooring by room

As for every season, there is a colour. For every room, there is a vinyl flooring style to accompany it. Practical and aesthetically pleasing in equal measure, vinyl flooring has a place throughout the home, and our guide outlines which style suits each room best.

Bathroom

Vinyl flooring can withstand damp and humid environments, making it a perfect option for bathroom flooring. Step out of the shower or bath onto a warm, comfortable floor in wood effect vinyl planks or fresh tile patterns. Easy to clean and water resistant, upgrade your washroom with our bathroom vinyl flooring.

Kitchen

The benefits of vinyl flooring in the kitchen are obvious. Any spills can be quickly mopped away with no worries of staining. This fast removal of mess is a credit to vinyl flooring’s longevity. Your floor will look spotless for years, no matter the traffic or spillage. Kitchens are also social spaces, so our kitchen vinyl flooring is stylish and practical. Choose contemporary designs to create a welcoming mood in a room where you can share memories with friends and family.

Lounge

The living room should be the cosiest place in your home. A room where you can curl up with a good book or binge the latest television shows in absolute comfort. With this in mind, we recommend choosing cushioned vinyl flooring with a warm and soft feeling under your feet.

Choose bright vinyl flooring to add a welcoming style and  practicality to your hallway, stairs and landing. Sheet vinyl flooring isn’t recommended for stairs, but there is still plenty of choice in our collection of hallway vinyl flooring that is appropriate.
