When it comes to owning and managing a rental property, selecting the right floor is one of the most important investments you can make. Ideally, you’ll want to choose a flooring that’s warm, inviting, and easy to maintain. From long-term durability to aesthetics, there’s a lot to think about.
To weigh your options and help you decide what you want to install, Landmark Interiors looks at the best flooring options for your rental property.
Consider the Experience
Flooring is the foundation for whatever atmosphere you want to create. The type of flooring you choose can significantly impact the experience of your tenants. Imagine young children doing homework or playing with toys on a cozy woodgrain floor versus a more industrial VCT (vinyl composition tile).
If you’re renting out a living space, you should prioritize comfort. This improves the overall quality of life for your tenants and enhances the appeal of the property.
Lifecycle and Durability
When considering different flooring options, it’s smart to weigh the cost, lifecycle, and long-term durability of your options. Certain materials may have a higher upfront cost but can prove to be more cost-effective in the long run due to their durability and low maintenance requirements. Investing in quality flooring that withstands wear and tear can save you money on replacements and repairs over time.
Landmark Interiors offers several collections that fit that description thanks to design features like an anti-scratch coating.
Impact on Design
Flooring is one of the few elements in a rental property where you can make a significant design statement. Whether you opt for classic hardwood, stylish laminate, or durable luxury vinyl planks, the right flooring can elevate the aesthetic appeal of any space, enhancing its overall ambiance and value. Use our floor visualizer tool to see how different flooring options can look – you can take a picture, if you’re standing inside the home, or upload a picture to use instead.
Choosing the Best Flooring Option
So, with all that in mind, which flooring feels most at home in your rental property? Let’s take a closer look at some of the options that Landmark Interiors offers homeowners, landlords, and property managers.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood offers the same elegant, inviting, and classic feel as traditional hardwood floors. With warm, inviting collections such as Country Oaks, these convenient planks are a great choice for any living space.
Water-Resistant Laminate
An affordable option that features both the appeal of hardwood and the durability of industrial flooring, water-resistant laminate is a smart, versatile choice. The anti-scratch properties make it a good pick for high-traffic areas, plus its ability to stand up to water damage should give you some peace of mind too.
Luxury Vinyl Tile & Planks (LVT/LVP)
Vinyl tiles and planks are popular options in living spaces, and for good reason. They look just as good as hardwood but are available in a wide variety of tones, including timeless Hilltop and the more modern Ascension collections. Not only do they look great but they’re easy to maintain and work well everywhere from foyers to bathrooms and bedrooms.
