basement renovation

There are many elements — some big, some small — that must come together to make a great room. Grounding them all, as it were, is flooring.

But there are so many choices out there now — hardwood, laminate, carpet, tile — that it can be difficult to decide which one is right for which space.

For the basement makeover I did, I knew I wanted something durable, relatively affordable and easy to maintain. Naturally, I also wanted it to be beautiful.

After a lot of research, I settled on vinyl tiles (no, NOT the kind Granny had – the new generation of vinyl comes in a crazy-wide array of colours, styles, and patterns, including unbelievably realistic wood and stone effects). This short video explains why I chose vinyl tile, and how happy I am with the look.
