Hallway Flooring
First impressions and the busiest thoroughfare in your home — hallway floors need to look welcoming and take a real hammering.
The best floors for your hallway
Every journey through your home starts in the hall, and every bit of grit from outside lands here first. Durability and easy cleaning matter most — but the hallway is also your chance to make a statement the moment guests walk in.
Porcelain Tiles
The toughest, most hard-wearing floor you can buy — impervious to grit, water and muddy boots, and easy to keep spotless.
Luxury Vinyl
Warm, quiet and extremely durable, with realistic wood and stone looks — a practical, welcoming choice for busy halls.
Engineered Wood
Real oak warmth with a tough lacquered finish that handles shoes, bags and daily footfall.
Parquet
Make an entrance. A herringbone hall floor is a timeless statement that sets the tone for the whole house.

What to consider in a hallway
The highest traffic
Every route through the house passes here — choose the most hard-wearing surface and finish you can.
Grit and dirt
Shoes drag in grit that scratches soft floors. Tougher tiles and quality lacquered finishes cope best.
Wet, muddy days
Rain and mud come through the front door — water-resistant floors and a good doormat save a lot of cleaning.
The welcome factor
This is the first thing people see — a beautiful hallway floor lifts the whole first impression.
How to style your hallway
Run it down the length
Lay planks along the length of the hall to draw the eye through and make a narrow space feel longer.
Pick a forgiving tone
Mid to darker tones and busier grains hide the dirt and grit that hallways attract between cleans.
Make an entrance with pattern
Herringbone or chevron in an entrance hall is a small area with huge impact — a real wow moment.
Protect the threshold
A large, low-profile doormat at the front door traps grit before it reaches — and scratches — your new floor.
