WHICH OPTION IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

-

1 WHEN DECIDING HOW MUCH TO SPEND ON NEW FLOORING, WOULD YOU RATHER…

A Opt for a cost-effective solution as I’m on a tight budget.

B Splash the cash a bit more, as long as it’s both stylish and practical.

C Invest in luxury – life’s too short not to indulge in home comforts.

2 WOULD YOU SAY THE FOOTFALL WITHIN YOUR HOME IS…

A Heavy – and then some! With a household that includes children and pets, plus bikes and pushchairs in the hallway, I’ll need hardwearin­g solutions.

B Medium – as a busy working profession­al who likes to be sociable, I’m looking for a low-maintenanc­e option.

C Light – my home is quite calm and relaxed, so I can afford to choose flooring that’s sumptuous and oozes quality.

3 ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FLOOR COVERINGS FOR YOUR ENTIRE HOME OR ONLY CERTAIN AREAS?

A Just updating the bathroom, kitchen and utility area this time around.

B Ours is a large open-plan living/dining space, so I’m looking for something that unites the two areas.

C Upstairs only – so that’s the bedrooms, landing and stairs.

4 WHAT SORT OF DOMESTIC GODDESS WOULD YOU SAY YOU ARE?

A I love a clean, orderly house, but with family and pets to consider, it can be a challenge. Simple, practical solutions are the name of the game.

B With my busy lifestyle, time is of the essence when it comes to cleaning – so nothing too high-maintenanc­e.

C Keeping things sparkling is key for me, so I’m happy to vacuum every day to ensure my home maintains a spring-fresh feel.

5 WHEN IT COMES TO NOISE, DO YOU NEED PEACE AND QUIET OR PREFER A LIVELY BUZZ?

A I’ve never really thought about it, so a super-quiet solution wouldn’t be a priority.

B Noise isn’t a big problem – as long as it looks chic and contempora­ry, fine by me. C I like to sleep easy at night and I live in a property that doesn’t have soundproof­ing between the levels, so something that doesn’t create too much noise for our neighbours is a must.
