When it comes to flooring, one size doesn’t fit all. The right flooring for your kitchen might not make sense in your bedroom—and your bathroom has its own set of demands entirely. At Floor Coverings International Cherokee, we help homeowners find the perfect flooring for every space based on function, lifestyle, and personal style.
Here’s your room-by-room guide to choosing the best floors for your home:
Living Room: Durable Meets Stylish
The living room is where life happens—movie nights, family gatherings, and everything in between. You need a floor that can handle foot traffic while also anchoring your home’s design.
Top Choices:
- Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP): Stylish, scratch-resistant, and available in wood-look finishes
- Hardwood: Timeless and elegant, perfect for open-concept spaces
- Carpet: Soft and cozy, ideal for households without pets or allergies
Kitchen: Function First
Your kitchen sees spills, dropped utensils, and constant activity. The flooring here needs to be water-resistant, easy to clean, and tough enough for high traffic.
Top Choices:
- Tile: Moisture-resistant and easy to wipe down
- Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT): More comfortable underfoot and a great alternative to traditional tile
- Laminate: Affordable and durable with good stain resistance
- Hardwood: Very easy to care for and maintain
Bathroom: Water Resistance is Key
Bathrooms demand flooring that can handle humidity and direct water contact without warping, cracking, or becoming slippery.
Top Choices:
- Porcelain or Ceramic Tile: Waterproof and easy to sanitize
- Waterproof Vinyl: Seamless appearance with added moisture resistance
- Natural Stone: Gorgeous, but must be sealed properly
Bedroom: Comfort & Warmth
Bedrooms are your retreat, so comfort and quiet matter. Consider flooring that feels good underfoot and helps create a calm atmosphere.
Top Choices:
- Carpet: Plush and cozy—especially nice in colder months
- Engineered Hardwood: Adds warmth and a high-end look
- Cork: Soft, sound-dampening, and eco-friendly
Basement: Resilience Matters
Basements are prone to moisture, even when finished. That makes waterproof or water-resistant flooring essential.
Top Choices:
- Vinyl Plank or Tile: Affordable, waterproof, and realistic in appearance
- Engineered Wood: Performs better than solid wood in humid environments
- Sealed Concrete: A modern, durable option that works well with area rugs
Home Office: Style and Acoustics
If you work from home, your flooring should contribute to both comfort and professionalism.
Top Choices:
- Carpet Tile: Easy to replace individual sections and great for sound control
- Hardwood or Engineered Wood: Elegant and long-lasting
- Luxury Vinyl: Easy to clean and visually appealing
