Read the full storyAustralians are making a clear move away from carpet and embracing stylish, durable hard flooring throughout their homes. This shift in design preference was highlighted in the recent Great Flooring Debate survey, and now, with Beaumont Tiles' massive End of Financial Year Sale, you too can make the smart switch from carpet to tiles.
The survey found that while carpet still holds its place in bedrooms, other spaces like living rooms, kitchens, dining rooms and hallways are now dominated by new-generation hard flooring and tiles. In bathrooms, tiles remain the number one choice, with 94 per cent of Australians preferring their water resistance, longevity and variety of design options.
According to Darren Brittan, Strategic Designer at Beaumont Tiles, homeowners are choosing surfaces that offer both style and practicality.
“It’s no longer just about looks - homeowners want surfaces that can withstand life’s messiness without sacrificing style,” said Mr Brittan, “Tiles continue to reign supreme in bathrooms thanks to their longevity, water resistance and ever-expanding range of styles that let people personalise their space.”
The research also revealed that flooring is now considered the most important design choice when building or renovating. More than half of those surveyed admitted they had been discouraged from purchasing a home based on the existing flooring.
If you are considering an upgrade or currently repairing or renovating, now is the perfect time to refresh your home.
