Which Flooring Should You Choose for Your Foyer & Mudroom?

The first thing that will welcome your guests when they enter your home is the foyer. It’s also one of the parts of the house that endures the most traffic. Your foyer is exposed to more dirt, moisture and debris than other areas. This is why you need to choose a strong and durable flooring material for your entryway. Today, we discuss the best flooring options for foyers and mudrooms.

Luxury Vinyl

With luxury vinyl planks, you don’t have to worry about snow, rain or mud damaging your entryway. This material features the look, color and texture of hardwood and is completely waterproof. Vinyl flooring doesn’t require caulking or sealing, and it’s also more cost-effective than ceramic tiles, natural stone and engineered hardwood.

Ceramic & Porcelain Tile

Two of the most popular flooring options today are ceramic and porcelain tile. These materials withstand moisture, grime and muck well. They are low-maintenance and easy to clean. When you have an open floor plan, you can use the same tile in the living area, dining area and kitchen for a cohesive look.

Since ceramic and porcelain are manmade, they are available in various colors and finishes. Some tiles are even made to resemble wood planks, granite and other natural stone. You can also utilize this material for your bathroom renovation.

Engineered Wood

Engineered wood is more affordable than traditional hardwood flooring. This option has the look of natural wood but can be completely waterproof. Don’t forget to check the specifications of the engineered hardwood to determine its durability in high-traffic areas.

Slate Tile

Slate is a great choice for outdoor spaces because it stands up well to the elements. However, you can also use this flooring option inside the house. While it will have higher upfront costs than ceramic, porcelain or luxury vinyl flooring, slate can significantly increase the appeal of your interior and increase your home’s value.

Beach Pebble Floor Tile

This flooring material can add a beautiful accent to your interior. Slipping is prevented with the texture that the stone provides. Beach pebble tiles are sold by the foot on a mesh backing for easy and fast installation.
