Budget-Friendly Flooring Ideas for a Clean Look

There are many simple ways to brighten your living space, but the process of changing out the floor is especially invigorating. Everything in the space has to be moved. The whole space can be cleaned, and it might also be a good time to paint!

Budget-friendly flooring ideas for bare concrete

If your space feels boring after a hard winter, consider getting bare concrete polished. Skilled professionals can help you choose a color or a chip sprinkle idea that you can use to create a beautiful, permanent floor covering.

It's a good idea to schedule this project when you can open the house. It may be best, during concrete polishing, to stay somewhere else. The epoxying process can take time to cure, and there may be odors to deal with. However, a polished and epoxied concrete floor can be a beautiful base on which to decorate, and this surface will last for years.

Frugal flooring tips when you need to replace old flooring

If your old flooring is failing fast, it might be time to consider putting in sheet vinyl. Depending on the size of your space, you may be able to find quality sheet vinyl for your home at a discount if you buy end lots. Book an appointment for a quote on installing sheet vinyl in your home. They can also give you dimensions and may be able to recommend a supplier for the best price.

Sheet vinyl offers homeowners many benefits. The selection has expanded greatly in recent years; you can find sheet vinyl that looks like hardwood flooring and use it throughout your home. It's highly water-resistant, and it may be an ideal choice while your children are small as it's quite easy to clean.

Budget carpet options

If your budget is very tight and you need a short-term flooring product for bedrooms, a low-nap carpet may be a budget-friendly option. Having a good relationship with your flooring contractor is key; not every installer wants to work with remnants. That being said, remnants of carpet, especially from commercial installations, can be a terrific way to update the flooring in your sleeping spaces.

This carpet is durable, easy to clean, and should last until your budget allows for a wall-to-wall flooring choice for the whole house.

Laminate options that won't break the bank

Many laminate products can be used to replace worn flooring that won't break the budget. Be aware that the installation cost of this product may be higher than that of installing sheet vinyl.

Updating your flooring on a budget may take some legwork. Once you find a great flooring contractor, you can rely on their expertise to help you find the best products and processes for your household. Look for more budget-friendly home updates on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
