When it comes to choosing flooring for your hallway, there are many factors to take into account. While you want the outcome to look sleek and stylish, perhaps the most important factor is that the flooring needs to be hard wearing and durable. It is perhaps the area of the home which will take the most wear - likely the only room which will be walked on by shoes. The initial mud, dirt, etc which we bring into the house, as well as shopping bags, and anything else we may be carrying, will be put on the floor in the hall. Therefore it's very important to consider the most hard wearing flooring possible. Here we have listed the best and worst options
Best - Engineered wood flooring
This flooring is both low-cost, and durable. Easy to clean, and simple to lay yourself, engineered wood flooring emulates the look of real wood meaning your hall doesn't have to scrimp on style either.
Worst - Carpet
Carpet is perhaps the worst possible option for hallway flooring - it will stain easily and become worn down by the heavy traffic of people likely to be coming and going from the hall.
