Family rooms can see lots of activity, while living rooms can be elegant spaces that are only used for holidays and entertaining guests. Choosing the right carpet, flooring, and blinds and shades truly depends on function, design and your lifestyle. If your family room is the place you relax and watch television, play with kids, or maybe even indulge in a late night snack, you’ll want to consider durable, kid-friendly products that are casual, comfortable and inviting. When choosing products for a more formal living room, try and match the style of the rest of your home, but increase the elegance factor a notch to make the space really stand out.

Factors to Consider When Shopping for Living Room Flooring

  • Décor for formal vs. informal use
  • Sitting on the floor or playing with kids
  • Food or drinks in the room
  • Amount of care and maintenance required
  • Durability level
