• Durable. You can have the beautiful look and natural finish of wood or stone as well as a hard wearing surface. Our luxury vinyl tiles and planks are designed for living and are perfect for busy homes.
  
  
• Super easy to clean. Our floors have a non-porous surface which gives germs nowhere to hide so you can keep your home beautifully clean with just a sweep and mop. We recommend using our Floor Care Kit. It’s convenient to use for an everyday clean as well as when you’re looking to achieve a deeper freshen up.
  
  
• 100% waterproof. Accidents happen but with Karndean you don’t need to worry. A water resistant surface shrugs off spills and stains without warping so you can rest assured that if anything gets dropped you can simply wipe it up.
  
  
• Combine with underfloor heating. Our floors are already cosy underfoot but we all love a little extra comfort and warmth so it’s good to know that Karndean can be installed over underfloor heating systems, providing they have been insulated so that the surface temperature does not exceed 27°C. Just ask your retail partner about underfloor heating during your instore or virtual design consultation.

It really depends on what lies beneath your floor and what format fits your preference.

If you have a slightly uneven subfloor, a new concrete floor that is still drying out or if you want to protect your original floor, our luxury click (rigid core) format will be a great choice. Likewise, if you want a quicker fitting process and less upheaval at home, choosing our click floors means you’ll have a beautiful new floor in no time at all.

If added design features are a ‘must have’, our traditional gluedown format is the only one for you as it allows borders and design strips to be added as extra details between planks and tiles.

Loose lay is ideal for temporary floors when getting creative in a rented space or if you like the idea of being able to lift and replace your floor.

There is so much flexibility with our three fitting formats. The good news is your Karndean expert will be able to talk you through the best options for your space.

Increasingly, our homes have open plan, multi-purpose living rooms with space for dining tucked between the sofa and the kitchen. If you would love to give your dining area its own personality and retain a sense of continuity, consider creating a ‘rug’ effect around your table and chairs with combination of laying patterns and a complementary design strip or border.

Our Art Select, Van Gogh and Knight Tile ranges offer many options for combining straight lay planks with a herringbone ‘rug’ in the same colour. Alternatively, why not contrast a wood design with a geometric tile pattern from our Heritage Collection or Kaleidoscope range.

A herringbone or parquet floor is a stylish choice for your dining room, adding timeless elegance and a sense of interest and flow.

Whether you’re looking for a traditional look with our Art Select 9” x 3” wood design parquet or a more contemporary style in a larger wood or stone design from our Art Select, Knight Tile or Van Gogh collections, you can make this beautiful patterned floor your own.

For an elegant room to room look, opt for one of our many designs available in full-sized and herringbone sizes. With options available in both gluedown and rigid core formats, you can get this seamless look even over changing subfloor conditions.

Featuring clean lines, natural materials and pale neutral colour palettes, Scandi style brings the healing power of nature into our homes. For a classic laid back Scandi look, browse our Knight Tile and Van Gogh collections for a wide range of simple light wood designs.

Or make Scandi your own with a contemporary interpretation that blends east and west. Japandi could be for you if you love the simplicity of Scandi but would like to add warmer colours and sophisticated clean lines. In which case, look to one of our warm characterful oak designs.

Alternatively, why not add an uninhibited artisan twist with rustic upcycled materials and homespun crafts. Then add a distressed driftwood design flooring with sun bleached tones and worn knot features for a welcoming vibe.

If your dining room is predominantly used in the evenings, you can afford to be bolder with your colour scheme. Colour drenching your room, by painting walls, woodwork and ceiling in the same colour, will give you a dramatic intimate atmosphere. Dark shades of green, aubergine, blue or even black would work well.

With such strong colours, you’ll need a floor that can hold its own so we recommend a dark chocolate wood design or a charcoal grey stone. Ask your retail partner about the perfect floor for your bold colour scheme during your instore or virtual design consultation.

How can you make a statement in your dining room when your preference is for neutral colours? A patterned floor will introduce an unexpected sense of fun that is sure to lift your heart.

Consider a herringbone pattern in a blend of two or more wood designs, or combine wood and stone in bespoke hand-cut tiles. Look to our Kaleidoscope range for a choice of quirky geometric patterns and abstract prints, or our Heritage Collection for the opulent look of classic tiled floors.

We’ve selected some colour combinations that will look great in traditional or contemporary homes but you can also select your own colour choices. The beauty of Karndean flooring is that you can design a floor that is truly unique.
