Dilemma choosing laminate floor for bedroom

7 years ago

last modified: 7 years ago

I am looking to replace carpet with laminate flooring. Live in Florida. have antique white bedroom set. Like wide plank. Do not want oak. Started out looking at darker flooring. Now moved to lighter. I need help! Do you feel the wide plank is too rustic for my bedroom ? The darker narrow plank has much too many dark streaks going through. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The flooring salesman is going to throw me out soon.

Since you are getting overwhelmed and wish to move on with your decision, I think the simplest option would be to replace "like with like". Your first two photos show very pale colouring that is a GREAT match to the existing carpet. This is a simply swap that would NOT disturb your current design.

The next question everyone will ask, what's the floor outside the bedroom?

The floor outside the bedroom is an eighteen inch neutral tile.

I like the one that says its $4.99 SF. In the picture is looks the most real. I dont think the wide plank is too rustic.

Going back to store tomorrow as these samples are vinyl luxury and I discovered made with pvc plastic. Not crazy about that. Saw a friend's floor which was laminate and looked so much more like wood.

I have hardwood floors on the main level of my townhouse. Carpet on the stairs leading to the bedrooms on the second floor. The second floor hall and bedrooms are also carpeted. I want to replace the carpeting in my home. I plan to replace the carpet on the stairs with carpet, because the stairs are in the rough. They are the original structure, nothing done to the stairs. However, I wanted to replace the carpet in the bedrooms and hall with a laminate or something less expensive than carpet. What do you suggest.
