Choosing the perfect laminate flooring for your home isn’t just about finding a style you love—it’s about matching the right product to each room’s specific needs. Our expert team has compiled this room-by-room guide to help you make informed decisions that balance beauty, performance, and value.
Living Areas
For family rooms and living spaces, we recommend AC4-rated laminates with thicker wear layers and authentic textures. Consider wider planks for a contemporary feel or traditional narrower boards for classic appeal.
Living rooms serve as the heart of your home, hosting everything from movie nights to holiday gatherings. Here, your flooring needs to withstand constant foot traffic while making a style statement. Our premium AC4-rated options offer:
- Superior scratch resistance for homes with children and pets
- Realistic embossed textures that mimic genuine hardwood grain patterns
- Fade-resistant technology to maintain color even in sun-drenched rooms
- Sound-dampening underlayment options for a quieter, more comfortable space
Designer Tip: Wide-plank laminates (7″ or wider) create an open, spacious feel in your living areas, while adding timeless elegance.

Bedrooms
Create a warm, inviting bedroom with our wide range of wood-effect laminates. Standard AC3 ratings often provide sufficient durability in these lower-traffic spaces, allowing more budget for style choices.
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary where comfort meets personal style. Since bedrooms typically see less foot traffic than other areas, you can:
- Prioritize aesthetics with our stunning range of wood-look finishes
- Indulge in lighter colors without worrying about frequent cleaning
- Save with AC3-rated options without compromising long-term performance
- Enhance comfort with thicker underlayment for a warmer, softer feel underfoot
Designer Tip: Consider coordinating—not necessarily matching—your bedroom laminate with nearby hallways for a cohesive look that still allows for room-specific practicality.
Hallways & Stairs
These high-traffic zones demand our most durable AC4 or AC5 rated options. Choose textured surfaces that help conceal minor wear and consider darker tones or patterns that hide dust between cleanings.
Hallways and staircases endure more concentrated foot traffic than any other area in your home. To ensure lasting performance:
- Invest in maximum durability with AC4/AC5 ratings
- Select textured finishes that mask scuffs and daily wear
- Consider slip-resistant options for staircases
- Choose compatible transition pieces for seamless flow between rooms
- Opt for darker tones or variegated patterns that don’t show dust and dirt between cleanings
Designer Tip: While durability is paramount in these spaces, don’t sacrifice style—our high-traffic laminates come in an array of on-trend finishes that create stunning first impressions.
Kitchens & Utility Spaces
Our moisture-resistant laminates with enhanced core stability make perfect sense in kitchens and utility areas, providing the look of wood or stone without vulnerability to water damage.
Kitchens and utility rooms present unique challenges with their exposure to moisture, spills, and dropped items. Our specialized options offer:
- Enhanced moisture resistance with specially engineered cores
- Waterproof sealing technologies for worry-free maintenance
- Easy-clean surfaces that stand up to spills and splatters
- Dimensional stability that prevents warping in temperature fluctuations
- Stain-resistant finishes that resist common kitchen culprits like wine and tomato sauce
Designer Tip: Stone-look laminates offer exceptional practicality in kitchens while creating a high-end designer appearance that complements cabinetry and countertops.
