Is laminate flooring a good choice for a dining room?

Laminate is often the cleverest choice for dining areas because of its toughened wear layer. Unlike real timber, which can be easily dented by sideboards or scratched by the sliding of dining chairs, high-quality laminate is built to resist surface abrasion.

It is also much more forgiving when it comes to spills, because the surface is non-porous, a splash of water or food is easy to wipe away before it can cause any lasting damage to your dining room laminate floor.

How to protect your floor from dining chairs

Even with a durable floor, the secret to longevity is prevention. Because dining chairs are moved more than almost any other furniture in the house, we recommend using felt pads on the bottom of all chair legs. This simple step prevents grit from getting trapped under the legs and acting like sandpaper on the surface.

For a dining room, choosing a 10mm or 12mm thickness will also provide a more solid feel underfoot, reducing the noise of chairs being tucked in.

Choosing the right style for your dining area

Dining rooms are often where people feel most comfortable being bold with their design.

  • For a grand, formal feel: Look at darker oak or walnut tones with a V-groove edge, which creates a traditional plank look.
  • For a modern, airy space: Light greys or sun-bleached wood effects can make a smaller dining room feel much larger.

Expert Tip: If you have an open-plan kitchen and dining area, using the same laminate throughout creates a seamless flow that makes the whole ground floor feel more spacious.
