When choosing the right flooring, you should always consider the overall style of your home to achieve the desired effect. This is especially true for the living room, which serves as the heart of your apartment or house and is one of the most frequently used rooms. As a result, this floor must be able to withstand heavy use, particularly if you have pets or children. For this reason, you should not only choose a flooring option that is visually appealing but also prioritize robustness and durability.
Unlike in the past, when carpet was the go-to choice, today’s preferences lean toward surfaces such as hardwood, vinyl, or laminate flooring, as well as tile or stone. This is partly because these floors are much easier to clean and maintain, and dirt shows up less than on carpet. The wide selection of designs, colors, and textures leaves nothing to be desired and adapts easily to all interior styles. There are no limits to your creativity.
This question isn't easy to answer, because it depends, among other things, on your personal preferences and the style you prefer. Every detail—such as the design, texture, and color of your flooring—affects the atmosphere of the room. There are also other factors that should be taken into account:
A living room floor should be sturdy, durable, and warm underfoot, and it should be comfortable to walk on. It should also be easy to clean and maintain. There are many flooring options that meet these criteria, so ultimately, you should choose the one that best suits your needs in terms of appearance, feel, functionality, and budget.
To find the right style for you, ask yourself the following questions:
If you can answer these questions, it will be easier to find the right flooring. Let our wide variety of collections and find the design that’s just right for you.
Design flooring (vinyl flooring) has proven itself in recent years as a true all-rounder and offers many compelling advantages: It is very sturdy, durable, and resistant to all types of dirt, scratches, and moisture. It is incredibly easy to install and simple to clean and maintain. They also offer a comfortable walking experience, are easy on the joints, and are significantly quieter than laminate flooring. In addition, they have good thermal conductivity, making them ideal for installation over radiant floor heating.
When purchasing vinyl flooring, however, you should be cautious and examine it very closely! It may contain PVC—and thus plasticizers and chlorine—which can harm your health over time. For this reason, we at CLASSEN have developed special “vinyl floors”—without any vinyl!—
They are made from CERAMINⓇ, a material we manufacture ourselves that is free of PVC and its environmentally harmful ingredients and is also 100% recyclable. CERAMINⓇ flooring is also completely water-resistant. This makes our low-emission and antibacterial flooring ideal for you, your family, children, and pets.

Unlike today, parquet floors used to be the classic choice. Parquet is timeless, has a very natural look, and blends seamlessly with all interior design styles and accessories. However, the drawbacks of using parquet floors are their sensitivity and the increased maintenance required. Deep scratches or other damage cannot be removed unless the floor is sanded down. This, however, involves a great deal of effort and expense. In addition, a parquet floor must be re-oiled regularly—at least once a year—using an appropriate care product.
Otherwise, it can quickly lose its luster. You should also be careful with moisture: Standing water can quickly seep into the joints and cause the parquet to swell irreparably. Special caution is also needed with large or floor-to-ceiling windows that receive a lot of sunlight: The floor can quickly discolor and become lighter, darker, or even take on a yellowish tint.
Our collections offer a wide selection of suitable laminate floors for various target groups:.
Choosing tile flooring for your living room gives the space a stylish and elegant look. Tiles are timeless and complement almost any interior design style. They’re easy to maintain, resistant to dirt and scratches, and extremely durable. Tile flooring can often last 30 years or more before it needs to be replaced. Tile floors are a popular choice, especially for households with pets and children. They are ideal for installation over radiant floor heating, and moisture poses no threat to them.
However, tile floors can also make the living room feel a bit cooler. In such cases, placing the right rugs in various spots can add warmth without sacrificing the elegant character of the tiles. Tiles are also very cold underfoot if there is no underfloor heating, and they should ideally be installed only by a professional. This is because when installing the tile backsplash, it is crucial that the subfloor is extremely level and precisely leveled to prevent any subsequent damage. Hiring a professional can drive up installation costs.
Here, our CERAMINⓇ tile-look flooring offers several advantages over ceramic tiles: Thanks to their authentic appearance, they look like real tiles but are warm underfoot, just as durable and robust, and just as easy to clean. Thanks to our simple and water-resistant installation system, megaloc aqua protect—which allows individual planks to be installed with a simple click—you can install the flooring yourself without needing to hire a tile installer.
Whether you should choose a light or dark floor depends largely on how large and bright the room is. As a general rule, light-colored floors make a room appear larger. So if your living room is on the smaller side, you should opt for a light-colored floor. For larger rooms, it all depends on the atmosphere you want to create. Dark wood-look floors create a warm, inviting style and make large rooms feel especially cozy. Here, you can add great accents with coordinating wall colors and light-colored accessories to achieve a stylish contrast. Very dark floors should only be used in rooms with plenty of natural light to prevent the living room from feeling too gloomy.
