Choosing Flooring for Your Remodeled Bathroom

Choosing Flooring for Your Remodeled Bathroom

Remodeling a bathroom can be an exciting project, allowing you to update one of the most-used rooms in your home. When dreaming up your perfect new bathroom, the flooring is a key decision that can make or break the design. Gone are the days of utilitarian vinyl flooring in bathrooms.

Natural stones like marble, travertine, and slate offer a high-end, spa-like feel. And today’s luxury vinyl planks realistically mimic wood floors, with none of the moisture risks. When embarking on your bathroom remodeling, take time to consider the pros and cons of each flooring type. Factor in variables like your budget, lifestyle, and the bathroom’s size and layout. The right floor can take your bathroom from drab and dated to a relaxing oasis. Make this key decision wisely, and you’ll enjoy your new space for years to come.
