Living Room Flooring: Building a Strong Foundation

Living rooms anchor the home. As one of the first spaces seen, they set the tone for everything that follows. Your living room is where you host gatherings, quiet evenings, and enjoy the natural rhythm of daily life. Flooring here shapes how the space looks, and, more importantly, how it feels.

Best Choice: Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood delivers the natural beauty of wood with added structural stability. Our City of Oaks and Country Oaks collections pair authentic wood visuals with layered construction designed to manage temperature and humidity changes.

Why engineered hardwood works in living rooms:

Creates an inviting atmosphere
Complements both traditional and modern interiors
Pairs easily with area rugs
Adds long-term resale appeal

Our engineered hardwood collections are available in a range of finishes, so you can ensure your living room maintains warmth, style, and long-term durability.

Bedroom Flooring: Comfort Meets Quiet Elegance

Bedrooms are personal spaces designed for rest and comfort. Flooring should feel warm underfoot while maintaining a calm aesthetic.

Best Choice: Engineered Hardwood

Many homeowners choose engineered hardwood in bedrooms to maintain continuity with main living areas. The softer grain visuals in the Country Oaks collection create a relaxed, inviting feel, while the layered build offers durability for long-term use.

Benefits in bedrooms:

Clean, low-maintenance surface
Can be elevated with area rugs for a pop of color
Design consistency throughout the home

Choosing the softer grain visuals and layered construction of the Country Oaks collection creates a calm, inviting bedroom while offering lasting performance.

Entryway Flooring: Durability First

Entryways handle the most wear in the shortest amount of time. Shoes, moisture, dirt, and seasonal changes all concentrate in this space.

Best Choice: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

Our Hilltop Original collection delivers the rich look of wood with added water- and scratch-resistance. Its construction features a durable aluminum oxide top coat with antimicrobial properties, creating a protective surface that helps resist daily wear while supporting a cleaner, more resilient environment.

Why Luxury Vinyl Plank excels in entryways:

Water-resistant surface
Scratch-resistant wear layer
Easy to clean
Maintains style despite heavy traffic

Selecting LVP from the Hilltop Original collection provides a scratch-resistant, water-resistant surface that keeps your entryway looking polished and durable for years.

Bathroom Flooring: Moisture Matters

Bathrooms require flooring that stands up to humidity, splashes, and regular cleaning.

Best Choice: Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP)

LVP provides the durability that bathrooms demand without sacrificing visual appeal. Our Backwoods collection, for example, offers wood-inspired visuals in a water-resistant construction suitable for moisture-prone areas.

Built for performance, Backwoods features a 22-mil wear layer that helps protect against daily wear, along with a four-sided micro-bevel edge that helps lock planks securely in place for a more stable feel underfoot. It is also backed by a 20-year commercial warranty, reflecting its long-term durability in spaces that see consistent use.

Why luxury vinyl plank works in bathrooms:

Moisture resistance
Comfortable underfoot
Low maintenance
Durable finish for long-term use

With our Backwoods collection, you’ll get water-resistant, easy-to-maintain flooring that balances practical performance with wood-inspired style for bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I use the same flooring throughout my entire home?

Not necessarily. While consistent flooring can create visual continuity, many homeowners prefer to tailor materials to each room’s function. High-moisture areas like bathrooms benefit from luxury vinyl plank, while living rooms and bedrooms often feel warmer with engineered hardwood. The key is choosing complementary tones and finishes to maintain a cohesive design.

2. How can I make different flooring types look cohesive from room to room?

Start by selecting materials within a similar color family or undertone. For example, pairing engineered hardwood in living areas with wood-look luxury vinyl in entryways can create a seamless transition. Additionally, some of our products, including Hilltop Original, come with matching stair nose and trim to help create visual continuity.

Landmark Interiors’ digital tools, including our Flooring Visualizer, allow you to preview combinations before making a final decision.

3. What is the most durable flooring for high-traffic areas like entryways?

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is often the best choice for entryways because it offers scratch resistance, water resistance, and long-term durability. Collections like Hilltop Original are designed to handle heavy daily wear while maintaining their appearance.
