In this article, we’re outlining our easiest DIY flooring options, so that you can make the right decision for your home (and sanity!)
Carpet Tile Flooring – easy, peasy options
Super easy to install, carpet tile flooring offers non-professional carpet fitters an easy way to upgrade your home without the need for expensive tools or fitting equipment.
Just glue and stick the tiles of your choice. Best of all, thanks to the squareness of the tiles, you can create your own custom pattern with multiple colours.
If one tile becomes stained or damaged, just pull it up and replace it.
Carpet tiles are less expensive than rolled carpet and come in peel-and-stick tile options, no adhesive is needed. For non-adhesive tiles, you’ll need carpet tape or adhesive.
Vinyl Sheet Flooring
Like a carpet, vinyl sheet flooring comes in one piece, but unlike a carpet, is stuck to the floor with no need for stretching.
You will need to very accurately measure and cut your vinyl to ensure a professional finish. However, the process both time-wise and effort-wise is much easier and quicker than traditional carpet laying.
The other upside to vinyl is that it comes in a huge host of colours, patterns and thickness so that you can truly get the look and feel you want.
Vinyl is also waterproof, and affordable to replace, so is perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.
Your floor will need to be clean and smooth before sticking your vinyl, as all imperfections will show through.
Other DIY options:
Painted wood flooring – use your existing wood base and sandpaper then repaint the wood. This means you can choose the colour stile or even use a stencil to make the floor more modern!
Stained Concrete Flooring – If you don’t have any wood at all, no worries! Stained concrete flooring can look chic, and is an affordable way to update your home. Just make sure to invest in a good rug for areas you want to feel more cosy or warm.
