Living Room Laminate Flooring

Make your lounge warm, stylish and easy to live with. Living room laminate flooring gives you the wood look you love (or herringbone laminate for a parquet twist) with everyday durability, simple care and great value.

Why choose laminate for living rooms

Everyday tough: scratch- and scuff-resistant surface for family traffic and pets

Comfort & acoustics: pair with quality underlay for a softer, quieter room

Design choice: classic oak planks, modern greys, and statement herringbone

Low maintenance: quick vacuum and light damp-mop—no sanding or resealing

UFH-friendly: compatible with most underfloor heating (use a low-tog underlay; follow guidance)

Style tips

Plank laminate creates a calm, contemporary sweep; herringbone adds boutique character.

Choose light/whitewashed tones to brighten smaller lounges; mid honey/greige hides day-to-day marks; smoked/dark adds drama.

Layer rugs and textures for a cosy feel; fit felt pads to furniture to protect the finish.

Specs to look for

Thickness: 8–12 mm laminate boards

Wear rating: AC4 for busy homes; AC5 for extra durability

Edges: 4V bevels for authentic plank definition and a premium look

Installation pointers

Subfloors must be flat, dry and clean; use a suitable DPM underlay over concrete.

Leave correct expansion gaps; finish with matching trims and door bars.

Run planks with the longest wall for a spacious feel, or set herringbone along the main sightline to add movement.
