Your dining room needs to be elegantly designed, easy to clean and maintain and should also offer some good visual value. You have a variety of options to choose and select the type of flooring you need in your dining room and this particular guide aims at helping you choose among various options.

Hardwood Flooring
Whether you choose solid hardwood flooring, engineered flooring or even bamboo flooring, you will enjoy a durable surface that combines good looks with a surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
Natural Stone Flooring
If you want a real sense of luxury and beauty in your dining room, natural stone is a great choice. It is easy to care for and gives an upscale feel wherever it is installed.
Cork Flooring
If you haven’t seen what’s available in cork today, you owe it to yourself to discover it. Cork is soft underfoot but durable enough to handle the demands of a dining room floor.
Best Dining Room Flooring for Your Needs
Hardwood
Wood floors certainly bring style to a dining room and, as discussed above, they are durable and easy to clean. On the downside, they are more expensive than other options so may not work on a tight budget. Remember though, that quality wood floors that are well maintained will last you a lifetime, so in the long run, they are very cost effective.
Tile & Stone
You certainly will make a strong statement using natural stone or ceramic tile in the dining room but again there are some considerations. Both stone and tile can be expensive (tile needn’t be but the less you spend the less attractive the options) and installation is costly too. Stone and tile is better suited to a formal dining room and warmer climates.
Cork
Cork flooring is another interesting choice for a dining room. It’s durable but softer underfoot than hardwood and gives a sense of warmth to a room. It does however have quite a unique look and is harder to blend with the rest of your home décor. Stylistically it either suits your tastes or it doesn’t.
