5 Living Room Flooring Suggestions

Your living room is more than just a shared space—it’s often the heart of your home. It’s where family and friends come together to relax, connect, and unwind. Whether you’re hosting game night, binge-watching your favourite shows, or simply enjoying some quiet time, your living room deserves flooring that’s both stylish and functional.

With so many flooring options available, it can be tough to choose the one that fits your lifestyle and design vision. To help you get started, here are five living room flooring suggestions we love—each offering a unique combination of comfort, durability, and visual appeal.

1) Vidar Engineered Hardwood – Hickory San Bologna

If you’re drawn to timeless elegance and natural textures, engineered hardwood is a solid choice. The Vidar Engineered Hardwood in Hickory San Bologna offers rich brown tones with a wire-brushed finish that adds depth and warmth to any living room.

Crafted from durable hickory, this flooring not only looks refined but also holds up well to daily foot traffic. It pairs beautifully with a range of interior styles—from traditional to modern rustic—and helps create a cozy, grounded space.

2) Stainmaster Havanese – Soft Cameo Carpet

For ultimate underfoot comfort, nothing beats a plush carpet—especially in colder climates like Canada’s. Stainmaster Havanese from Beaulieu Canada is a textured cut pile carpet designed to deliver a soft, inviting feel in any living room.

It’s ideal for homes where comfort is a top priority, especially if you have kids lounging around on the floor or pets curled up at your feet. The Soft Cameo shade blends easily with most living room color palettes, making it a versatile option for relaxed, family-friendly spaces.

3) Centura Nouveau – Alaskan Laminate Flooring

If you love the look of wood but want something more resistant to everyday wear, laminate is a smart, low-maintenance option. Centura’s Nouveau collection, particularly the Alaskan style, offers the beauty of weathered wood in a wide plank format—with added scratch and water resistance.

This flooring is especially great for busy households, offering peace of mind without sacrificing style. It’s a lighter shade compared to the hardwoods listed above, which can help open up smaller living rooms and brighten the overall space.

4) Aquaplus Bronze – Waterproof Vinyl Flooring

Looking for something that’s waterproof, durable, and budget-friendly? Aquaplus Bronze vinyl flooring checks all those boxes. It’s engineered for stability and features a UV coating to prevent fading, a wear layer for added scratch and stain protection, and a realistic wood-look finish.

With colours like Barnwood, Driftwood, French Oak, Garden Oak, and Swiss Oak, you can find a design that fits your living room’s vibe while enjoying the benefits of vinyl’s low maintenance.

5) Anatolia Tile – Amaya Wood Collection

Want the appearance of hardwood with the durability of tile? Anatolia Tile’s Amaya Wood Collection offers the best of both worlds. These porcelain tiles mimic the look of natural wood so well, most people can’t tell the difference at first glance.

Available in shades like Ash, Blend, Tobacco, Walnut, and Natural, these tiles are perfect if you’re aiming for a wood aesthetic but prefer a flooring material that’s moisture-resistant and easy to clean—especially great for homes with pets or high humidity.
