It’s often said that first impressions really matter, and when it comes to homes and decor, that’s certainly true. From the second you step into your home, you want to feel at home. Your property’s entryway, whether it’s a small space with a coatrack, a room in its own right, or anything in between, is just as important as the rest of your house.
Creating the right atmosphere from the second you step inside can feel daunting, but there’s one small thing that changes how your whole entryway feels: the flooring. By changing your floor, you can completely transform a space. So if the time has come to curate the perfect entryway for your Surrey home, why not start from the ground up?
Creating a bright and spacious entryway
To create an entryway that is full of light and space, there are a few flooring options. As with most decor decisions, light and airy entryways typically require lighter colours. Natural materials work perfectly for this. Think light stone flooring or pale wood, for example.
The issue there, however, is that stone and real wood flooring are costly. They can look incredible, but they’re also incredibly high maintenance and not particularly sturdy. In busy modern households, this can be problematic. Fortunately, there’s an alternative option: luxury vinyl tile flooring.
Luxury vinyl tile flooring (or LVT) is a synthetic flooring system that is stain-resistant, water-resistant, easy to clean, easy to install, and affordable. It comes in a huge range of colors and styles, many of which are designed to perfectly mimic the cool grey stone or light wooden planks that would make a perfect choice for a bright, spacious entryway.
Creating a stylish and elegant entryway
For homes that are all about elegance and classic styles, it’s all about timeless trends. Your entryway flooring must carry the same stylishness as the rest of your home, so why not consider something special like a parquet or herringbone style floor?
This style used to be exclusively available to those with the time to maintain a hardwood floor, but now it can be installed with LVT. Experts like the Taylord Carpets and Flooring Studio team can fit parquet-style tiles in a range of classic natural wooden colours with ease, bringing your home’s elegance right up to the front door.
Another brilliant technique to bring a splash of elegance to your entryway is runners - especially on stairs. If your front door opens onto your staircase, a high-quality carpet runner is a fantastic way to bring style into your Surrey home.
Creating a cosy and warm entryway
For those to whom home is all about being warm and comfortable, high-quality carpet is an excellent choice when looking to create a welcoming entryway. Luxury carpet can create a soft and warm aesthetic in your home, even from the entrance.
It is, of course, crucial to consider what colour carpet is best for your cosy entryway. White, for example, is likely to become discoloured and stained when met with wet footprints or mucky paw-prints after a walk.
