Think vinyl flooring is ugly, cheap and boring? You’re right about the cost. There is however now a wide choice of good looking, modern designs that wouldn’t look amiss in a contemporary playroom, kids room, hallway, bathroom or kitchen. The above samples range from £25-£43 per square metre.
Hard-wearing, warm under foot and easy to clean, vinyl is perfect for families with children. It comes in rolls or tiles and is easy to install. A fantastic range of solid matt colours (including white and black!) is available from the Colour Flooring Company and Harvey Maria (who developed the dotty design above for Cath Kidston).
But my favourite design has to be a retro-patterned tile called Rose des vents from French homeware company Around The Wall. They remind me of scaled down cement tiles and I think they would look super sweet in a little ensuite. Around The Wall vinyl tiles are available in the UK from Zazous.
If your budget stretches, also consider lino or rubber flooring. I’ll be covering these in an upcoming post.

I think vynil is a great solution for kids room…especially playrooms. I will deffinitely consider using it if we ever manage expanding our space:)
Good idea to have that funky vinyl flooring.
I like the rose des vents too. Would be great for sprucing up the utility room. Have a great weekend 🙂
Wow it looks so nice. I loved it. All the designs are very beautiful.
Some beautiful vinyl flooring, we found it very inspiring!
