With so many of us now working from home, and set to continue with some kind of flexible arrangement, the home office is more important than ever. You want a functional space that is inviting and comfortable, that will last for years to come. Flooring is an essential part of this, and there are options available to suit every style and budget.
Budget friendly flooring
You don’t need to break the bank to have flooring that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Vinyl is always a popular choice, as it is durable and low maintenance as well as low cost. The protective top layer resists stains as well as scratches and dents, which is ideal for swivel chairs.
For colder houses, vinyl works well as it is a good thermal conductor, so will give you a much warmer floor all year round. It also works well with underfloor heating, but it is temperature restricted, so should not be heated above 26°C.
If you need a quiet space for works calls, vinyl has good sound insulation so reduces noise.
Vinyl flooring is available in sheet, plank and tile formats. If you want a stone or wood effect, plank or tile is ideal. The different sizes and widths of vinyl planks also allows you to create the ideal design. There is a huge range of colours, styles and patterns available, so you can find the perfect fit for your home.

Laminate is another practical, hard-wearing type of flooring for your home office. 
It has a high quality wear layer that makes it scratch and dent resistant. In addition, it is stain resistant and hypo-allergenic. Easily maintained by wiping clean, this flooring is shock absorbent making it comfortable underfoot.
Using a quality underlay with laminate will give you extra sound insulation, which is useful for a quiet environment.
If you want a realistic natural stone, ceramic or wood finish, there are many options available at a much lower cost than the real thing.

Mid range flooring
Carpet will always be a popular option as it is warm and cosy underfoot. Unlike most other flooring choices, you can always go barefoot with carpet. As well as being a great insulator, it absorbs sound well which is perfect for your office space.
From the lower cost carpet tiles to a luxury velvet pile, there is an option for every budget. Carpet tiles also give you the option of replacing individual tiles if there is any wear and tear.
It is easy to find a colour and design to fit in with your existing decor and furniture. This is also a great choice if you want the carpet to match other rooms in the house. Carpet is easily maintained with regular vacuuming.

If you want the look of real wood flooring but at a lower cost, engineered wood still gives that stunning finish as it has a veneer of
actual hardwood. For a home office in an area that fluctuates in temperate, engineered wood is a smart option as it more stable and can withstand the changes better than real wood.
Keeping it clean is simple, regular sweeping and mopping is all you need to do. This highly durable flooring can also be refinished over the years and you can choose to change the look of it.
There are many grades and species available and as it is so easy to install, you can have a style like a chevron floor laid very quickly.

Luxury flooring
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring has a stunning finish and is highly durable. A great choice for 
any home office, it has superior acoustics and excellent soundproofing qualities. Other advantages are that it is easy to maintain, slip and spill resistant. This robust, tough flooring will stand the test of time while maintaining that luxurious look.
A wide range of design options are available which give a realistic look of natural stone or wood. There is a huge range of patterns and designs to pick from, making it a truly versatile choice that can fit in with any design scheme.

Last but certainly not least is possibly the ultimate is luxury, a real wood floor. Nothing beats
this classic look with its beautiful and natural warmth.
Many types of hardwood are compatible with underfloor heating if temperature is an issue, and you can always add an area rug if you want extra warmth and comfort. This will also reduce any scratches on the floor from your office furniture. An added benefit is that wood flooring is easy to maintain.
