Luxe for Less: Transform Your Home with the Magic of Laminate Flooring

When it comes to revamping your home, laminate flooring is a fabulous choice for bringing luxury and practicality underfoot. As a busy mum juggling family life and the occasional spill from Amber, our beloved dog, I've found laminate to be a lifesaver. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about this wonderful flooring option.

How to Lay Laminate Flooring

Laying laminate flooring is like putting together a giant puzzle. Start from a corner, laying the boards parallel to the longest wall for a seamless look. Remember, patience is key, much like when Paul and I attempt to assemble flat-pack furniture while keeping our son Tom entertained!

Do You Need Underlay for Laminate Flooring?

Absolutely. An underlay is the unsung hero that battles moisture, reduces noise and provides a cushy feel underfoot. It's an essential layer that you shouldn't skip.

Can You Paint Laminate Flooring?

While it's possible, painting laminate flooring is akin to trying to dye my dog Amber's fur pink – it's doable, but the results can be hit or miss. If you crave a change, consider replacing the flooring for a more satisfying transformation.

Can You Have Laminate Flooring in Your Bathroom?

Yes, but with caution. Opt for water-resistant laminate specifically designed for bathrooms to withstand the humidity from those long, relaxing baths I cherish after a day of writing and family life.
