Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best flooring for a living room?
The best living room flooring depends on your household, style, and budget. Hardwood and engineered hardwood are the most popular choices — they add warmth, visual appeal, and long-term resale value. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is the top pick for homes with pets, kids, or heavy foot traffic thanks to its waterproof construction and scratch resistance. Laminate offers a similar look to hardwood at a lower price point. Carpet remains a strong option for living rooms where comfort underfoot is a priority. Each has real advantages — the right answer depends on how you live in your space.
Is hardwood or luxury vinyl plank better for a living room?
Both are excellent living room flooring options, but they serve different priorities. Hardwood offers timeless aesthetics, can be refinished multiple times, and tends to increase home resale value. LVP is 100% waterproof, more resistant to dents and scratches, and typically more affordable upfront. If your living room gets heavy use, has pets, or connects to an entryway or kitchen, LVP is often the more practical choice. If your living room is a formal or low-traffic space and long-term value is the priority, hardwood is hard to beat.
How do I choose the right flooring color for my living room?
Start with your existing fixed elements — wall color, furniture, trim, and the amount of natural light your living room gets. Light-toned floors make a room feel larger and more open; darker tones create warmth and drama. Mid-tones are the most forgiving and easiest to style around over time. Undertones matter too — a floor with warm (yellow/brown) undertones can clash with cool-toned walls. The best way to get this right is to order free samples and view them in your actual space before buying. What looks perfect in a photo may read differently under your lighting.
How much flooring do I need for my living room?
Measure your living room's length and width in feet and multiply to get your square footage. Then add 10% to account for cuts, waste, and future repairs — bump that to 15% if you're planning a diagonal or herringbone pattern. For example, a 15x20 ft living room is 300 sq ft, so you'd order 330 sq ft minimum. It's always better to have a small amount left over than to run short mid-project and face a potential dye lot mismatch. If you're unsure, our team can help you calculate the right quantity before you order.
What flooring holds up best in a high-traffic living room?
For high-traffic living rooms, look for flooring with a proven wear layer or hardness rating. Rigid core LVP with a wear layer of 12 mil or higher handles heavy use very well. For hardwood, species with a higher Janka hardness rating — like hickory or white oak — hold up better than softer woods like pine. Laminate with an AC3 or AC4 rating is also built for heavy residential traffic. Whatever you choose, the installation quality and underlayment matter just as much as the product itself.
Can I put the same flooring throughout my living room and adjacent rooms?
Yes — and it's usually the right move. Running the same flooring continuously through connected spaces like a living room, hallway, and dining area creates a cohesive, open feel and makes smaller homes look significantly larger. It also simplifies your purchase and reduces the number of transition strips needed. If you're tying into an existing floor in another room, bring a sample of that floor when you shop so you can find a complementary match.
Do I need underlayment for living room flooring?
In most cases, yes. Underlayment cushions the floor, reduces noise, and provides a thermal layer — all of which matter in a living room where you spend a lot of time. Some LVP and laminate products come with underlayment pre-attached; if yours doesn't, it's worth adding separately. For concrete subfloors, a moisture-barrier underlayment is especially important. Check the product specifications before purchasing — using the wrong underlayment (or none at all) can void the manufacturer warranty.
Can I try flooring samples before I buy?
Yes. BuildDirect offers free flooring samples so you can see exactly how a product looks in your living room under your lighting before placing a full order. Colors, textures, and finishes can look very different on a screen versus in your actual space. Order a few samples, lay them on your floor, and live with them for a day or two before deciding. It's the best step you can take to avoid buyer's remorse on a flooring purchase.
