When it comes to designing a comfortable, functional and stylish townhouse the choice of flooring might not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, the flooring in a townhouse sets the backdrop for the rest of the interior design. Flooring can play a subdued and subtle role in the overall design, or it can provide a canvas for a unique and creative flair that helps your townhouse stand out from the pack, leaving a lasting impression for all those who step foot inside. Furthermore, the functional characteristic of flooring goes a long way in creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for its occupants. Good property developers understand the influential role flooring plays in proper value management.

However, with so many options it can be difficult to determine the best flooring solution for your townhouse. Luckily, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’ll be discussing different flooring trends for townhouses and looking at some of the benefits of each option. Read on to find out which option best suits your needs.

Versatile and Quick to Install Luxury Vinyl Plank

A luxury vinyl plank, or LVP for short, is a very popular flooring material used in many new townhouses. LVP is a versatile flooring option that is often manufactured to look like other flooring materials without the associated cost. It’s also very easy to install. Some variations can be interlocked without the need for glue or nails, making the installation process more straightforward and cost effective for townhouse builders and homeowners. It comes in different colours and patterns that mimic the appearance of wood or stone and different textures such as matte and glossy. Black or grey LVP is great for modern aesthetics. If you want timeless elegance, go for a warm and earthy colour like brown.

Large Format Tiles for An Expansive Feeling

Want to make your townhouse look bigger? Use large format tiles to open up your townhouse. Its size gives the illusion of a larger, more expansive space. Large format tiles also have fewer grout lines, giving a sleeker look. Also, as an added benefit these tiles are much easier to clean than standard-sized tiles due to the reduced grout lines which are notorious for collecting dirt, stains and mould.

There are many available tile designs for this type of tile. Look for a marbled design for a classic, elegant aesthetic. Townhouses with an industrial theme will benefit with concrete-looking or metal-looking tiles. You can also choose tiles with wood design if you’re going for a more natural look in your space.

 

Unique Geometric Tiles for Elevated Creativity

Geometric tiles are a great way to display your creativity and personality. These tiles add a unique character to your townhouse creating a striking visual for all those that enter. Hexagonal tiles are commonly used in bathrooms, terrazzo tiles are great to look at in the kitchen, and marble mosaic tiles go a long way in elevating your living room design. The versatility of these tiles allows you to transform your interiors into a dynamic and captivating environment that will leave a lasting impression on all your visitors.

 

Carpet Tiles for Busy Households

If you want to experience the warmth and comfort of carpet but are concerned about dirt and stains from your busy household with young children and pets carpet tiles are the perfect option. They are designed to endure high foot traffic in your home. They’re easy to install without needing glue or nails and they are equally easy to remove as well. So if you find that your toddler has accidentally spilt cordial on the floor or your new puppy has had a little accident you can quickly and easily remove the affected tile and clean it. Down the track you can swap out stained or heavily worn-out tiles for new tiles. Depending on your preference, you can choose one colour, or you can layer different colours for a more unique appearance.

Natural Stone for A Classic Beauty

If you want your floors to last a long time, why not go for natural stone? Natural stone flooring lasts a long time with very little maintenance required to keep them looking amazing. Natural stone impresses with its classic beauty and many homeowners love it because it increases the value of the property. If you want to have the perfect balance of elegance and functionality, natural stone flooring is a great candidate

For natural stone flooring, popular options include marble, travertine, or slate. These design options add sophistication to what could otherwise be a bland space. They also offer unique patterns that add depth and richness to your flooring.

 

Sleek and Durable Concrete Flooring

Concrete is a durable, resilient, and low-maintenance flooring material that is great for townhouse owners who want their floors to last for a very long time. Raw, unfinished concrete is a great look for properties with an industrial aesthetic, while polished concrete is a great option for homeowners that are after a sleek interior. This affordable option can also be customised with different stains and textures.

 

Timeless Timber Floors

If you want a home that exudes timeless elegance, you will never go wrong with timber flooring. The classic appearance brings warmth and comfort to any room in your townhouse. The visual appeal of timber floors will never go out of style, and you can enhance it even more with custom finishes and stains. This flooring option can also last for a long time if you get floor sanding and polishing services from time to time to keep them looking brand new.

Match your timber floors with your interior designs. Homes with a traditional theme will look good with a walnut, oak, or maple flooring. Meanwhile, black or grey wood is perfect for homes with modern, contemporary design. Already have timber floors installed in your townhouse? Choose a finish that complements your home and bring out the beauty of your timber floors even more.

Engineered Timber Flooring, Timber Look at A Fraction Of The Cost

If your budget doesn’t allow you to choose traditional hardwood floors, a good alternative option is engineered hardwood instead as it’s less expensive but offers similar features. Engineered hardwood floors contain a real timber veneer atop a plywood base. Making them considerably more affordable yet providing the same classic look as real timber.

This material comes in different finishes like matte, semi-gloss, and high gloss. Choose from different options such as maple, white oak, hickory, and birch to match your preferences. Select the wider planks for a more contemporary design. Wider boards also allow you to see the patterns much clearer, creating a less busy look.

Sustainable Bamboo Flooring

As climate change and our environmental impact becomes more prominent in the psyche of homeowners the trend towards sustainable flooring materials has been on the rise. Bamboo is becoming increasingly popular due to its rapid rate of growth compared to traditional hardwoods, making it a more sustainable option. Bamboo provides many of the aesthetic and functional benefits of traditional timber flooring making it a strong contender for those seeking a classic timber look.

Comfortable & Functional Flooring

When it comes to townhouse design, your flooring choice goes a long way in creating a harmonious and cohesive look that compliments the rest of the interior design. Whatever style you have in mind, there’s a wide range of flooring options that you can choose from so you’re sure to find something that fits your needs and budget. Choosing the right flooring may not be the first thing that comes to mind when designing a townhouse, but it does play a big role in creating comfortable, welcoming, and functional townhouse living.
