Ideal flooring options for the office

Office space doesn’t have to be boring! Long gone are the days when the only option was sad carpet tiles, or worn out threadbare carpet with ingrained stains from spilled coffee that never got cleaned up. We say no more! Transform your workspace, whether it’s at the office or at home, with these ideal flooring options for the office.

Trendy open plan office spaces would really benefit from a chic grey wood finish, to blend practical flooring solutions with design conscious style. It opens up the space, and the woodgrain patterns add interesting depth to the overall design that is often lacking with single block coloured carpet. While carpet is better at reducing noise and the sound of chairs rolling back and forth across the floor, wooden floors are so much easier to keep clean and stain free – a real concern when you share a large office.

Parquet flooring is always a highly desirable option for an office, however the price of it often puts a lot of office managers off. Did you know that you can get parquet laminate flooring for less than £30 per square metre? Just take a look at this stunning oak wood effect parquet laminate flooring, which would look ideal in a board room or reception area of any chic office space. We love this looked pared with industrial chic accessories like black pendant lights above the reception desk, and sleek statement chairs making a stylish and eye-catching waiting area.

In an office, you’ll most likely have a kitchen area which can be used for lunches and a casual break out area when you need a few minutes away from your desk. Having a break in the flooring style is a good way to section off these parts of the office, especially if it’s an open plan set up. This stylish stone effect laminate flooring is a great alternative look to woodgrain style floors, and it still has that easy to clean quality that is so important in an office.

If you’re lucky enough to have an office space at home, whether it’s a corner of the spare bedroom, or a whole room dedicated to work, you’ll probably need a more traditional floor so that there is synergy with the rest of the house and the décor. For that reason we would recommend a colour similar to the other flooring options in your home, and our personal favourites include this oak flooring with a golden matt lacquer, and this simple Ash flooring which would be versatile enough to transform your home office to a bedroom should the need arise.

Whatever your personal preferences are for flooring options for the office, we can help. We have lots of styles to choose from, from laminate to solid wood so you’re sure to find a style and colour you like. Our floors are all rated individually too to let you know if they’ll be suitable for commercial use – just check out the symbols under the main photo on each page.
