The Top Budget-Friendly Flooring Options For Your Home

When shopping for flooring, there are several factors to consider. Many prioritize the look of their flooring. They want something that matches their current design aesthetics and the aesthetics they aspire to in the future. Others prioritize longevity in flooring. They want something durable that will withstand the test of time, something that won’t require much maintenance or need replacing in a handful of years. And many prioritize price. They most likely want something that looks great, functions well, and is durable, but they need it to be affordable, first and foremost.

There’s no shame in being a budget-conscious consumer whatsoever. Fortunately, at Dolphin Carpet & Tile, we offer a wide range of affordable flooring options that will check all of the necessary boxes while looking great in your home. This blog post will highlight the top budget-friendly flooring options for your home.

Carpet

Besides the comfort and warmth of carpet, one of the reasons it has maintained its popularity for such a long time is its affordability. The benefits of comfort far outweigh the cons as it is low-maintenance, attractive, and, as mentioned, quite budget-friendly. Whether looking at new flooring for one room or the entire house, carpet flooring is an excellent and affordable option for your home.

Per Forbes Home Advisor, carpet can range anywhere from 2 to 5 dollars per square foot, on average*

Laminate

Laminate is another excellent budget-friendly choice. With its built-in scratch-resistant properties, laminate can handle whatever you throw it’s way! And even better, you need only sweep your laminate flooring to ensure it continues to look great over time. Yes, it’s that low maintenance. More than just easy to care for and exceptionally durable, laminate is an attractive flooring option that comes in various unique colors, styles, patterns, and designs.

On average, per Angi laminate can range from .70 cents to 2 dollars per square foot.*

Luxury Vinyl

Luxury vinyl is a popular flooring choice that is probably more affordable than you think. Offering both waterproof and stain-resistant qualities, luxury vinyl is perfect for almost any room in the home. Moreover, luxury vinyl looks incredibly stylish and is very low-maintenance. Basic broom sweeping is all that is required to care for your luxury vinyl flooring. Even better, luxury vinyl comes in a wide range of fantastic looks and designs, so whether you’re looking to match the existing design aesthetic of your home or are interested in something entirely, there is a luxury vinyl flooring option for you. You can even mimic the look of hardwood or stone but do so at a fraction of the price.

Per Carpet Depot, on average, luxury vinyl flooring costs between 2 and 5 dollars per square foot.*
