Flooring for Interior Designers
Specify beautiful, hard-wearing floors with confidence — multi-sample requests, finish guidance and dedicated trade pricing, from mood-board to final install.
Interior designers don’t sell a floor, they sell a feeling. The right sample, seen in the actual room light, is what turns a mood-board into a signed specification. Homes & Floors gives you the samples, the finish guidance and the trade pricing to specify premium engineered wood, parquet, LVT and tiles while keeping the numbers working for you and your client.
Ranges that work hard on real projects
Three ranges carry most trade orders: engineered wood where the room is seen, LVT where it gets wet, laminate where the budget and the turnaround decide.
Which floor for which job?
The right spec depends on the room and the traffic. This is how the three workhorse ranges compare on the criteria that decide a budget.
| LVT (Luxury Vinyl) | Laminate | Engineered Wood | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waterproof | Yes — waterproof at the plank | Water-resistant only | No — avoid wet rooms |
| Wear & durability | Excellent for heavy footfall | Very good, AC4–AC5 rated | Good — and re-sandable |
| Cost per m² | Mid | Lowest | Premium |
| Fitting speed | Fast — click or glue-down | Fastest — click system | Moderate — skilled fit |
| Underfloor heating | Compatible | Check range | Compatible |
| Best for | Kitchens, bathrooms, high traffic | Bedrooms, quick turnarounds | Living rooms, premium units |

For interior designers — questions, answered
Can I order multiple samples for a client presentation?

Do interior designers get trade pricing?
Approved trade accounts see trade pricing automatically once signed in, shown excluding VAT, with volume discounts on larger specifications.
Can you help with quantities and suitability?
Yes — we advise on coverage, wear ratings and sub-floor suitability so your specification is right first time.
How much is the trade discount for interior designers?
10% off eligible ranges, shown excluding VAT, with a further 3% from 25 m², 5% from 60 m², 8% from 120 m² as the total square metres on the order grow.
