Lounge and living room
Parquet or wood-look SPC vinyl for a warm look and easy cleaning, with a large rug that defines the seating area and softens sound.
Renewing home floors starts with a simple question: what suits each room? The lounge, majlis, bedrooms, kitchen, corridors and roof each work differently. We guide you across parquet, vinyl, carpet, rugs and artificial grass, then supply and fit. Free inspection in Riyadh and a quote by phone or WhatsApp.


Before choosing one type for the whole home, look at each room on its own. For the detail on each type, see carpets and rugs, vinyl and parquet.
Parquet or wood-look SPC vinyl for a warm look and easy cleaning, with a large rug that defines the seating area and softens sound.
Majlis rugs and carpet give comfortable floor seating, and the choice differs between a formal guest majlis and a family one.
Laminate parquet or soft carpet; warmth and quiet matter more here than water resistance, and a bedside rug can be added.
Water-resistant SPC vinyl or traditional tiles, noting that floating planks never go under fixed cabinets.
Vinyl or parquet with a pattern close to the lounge; stair carpet reduces slipping and noise. See stair carpet.
Artificial grass with good drainage for gardens and roofs, covered in garden artificial grass.
This is a general comparison to help before the inspection; details vary by product.
| Strengths | What to watch | |
|---|---|---|
| Parquet / laminate | Warmth and a timber look, good for lounges and bedrooms | Affected by heavy water and humidity, not for wet areas |
| SPC / LVT vinyl | Water resistant, good for kitchens and lounges, easy to clean | Shows subfloor faults if the floor is not levelled well |
| Carpet | Soft, sound-absorbing and warm for bedrooms | Needs regular cleaning and is not for wet areas |
| Rugs | Change the look of a room and can be moved or swapped | Need the right size and sometimes a grip |
| Artificial grass | For roofs and gardens without watering | Needs a proper base and drainage |
To compare vinyl, parquet and ceramic read vinyl, parquet or tiles?
The condition of the building sets the preparation before it sets the type.
A new villa floor and an occupied apartment floor raise different questions, and we inspect each before quoting.
Fresh cement screed holds moisture for a while. We check this before laying parquet or vinyl and may advise waiting or a suitable barrier, since fitting a floor on a damp base causes problems later. The checks are covered in parquet installation and vinyl installation.
We work room by room so the apartment stays livable as far as possible, and agree which furniture we move. We check door heights because the new floor raises the level slightly.
If you rent, agree with the landlord before changing anything. Options such as floating vinyl planks and rugs can be easier to remove later.
Old carpet is lifted with its leftover adhesive, old parquet is usually removed, and firm sound tiles normally stay with the new floor laid over them.
In homes with children or older people we consider slipping and softness on stairs and corridors, and suggest what suits after seeing the space.

A mid-tone timber-look parquet adds warmth, suits a large rug and hides daily dust.

Wood-look vinyl with a scratch-resistant surface suits families who want easy cleaning.

Soft carpet brings calm and warmth to sitting rooms and bedrooms.
We pick one base colour tone for the whole home and vary the texture by room rather than switching colours sharply.
We account for the thickness of each type so no annoying differences show at doors, and coordinate the profiles.
We choose bars that suit the transition between two floor types at each door.
We keep skirting height and colour consistent as far as possible so rooms read as one.
We check and wipe each room and hand over with care advice for each type.
Send room sizes and photos of the current floors on WhatsApp, and we will arrange a visit in Riyadh to measure and suggest the right floor for each room.
We do not quote a figure before the inspection because many factors matter: the material type and thickness, the area, the condition of the current floor and the levelling it needs, removing old floors, the number of doors and thresholds, the length of skirting and the timing.
The best route is to send us sizes and photos for an initial quote, which we then confirm at the inspection. For detail read our price-factor pages such as vinyl prices and carpet prices.

Decide which rooms to start with and which furniture we move so the schedule is easy.
We estimate it after the inspection based on the number of rooms, stairs and old floors.
We leave you suitable pieces to replace any area damaged later.
We give guidance on cleaning each type of floor in your home.
Enter each room separately, then send the result on WhatsApp with photos of the current floors.
There is no single best floor for everyone. Parquet or wood-look vinyl suits lounges and living rooms, carpet suits bedrooms, and water-resistant vinyl suits the kitchen. We suggest what fits each room after the inspection.
In most cases yes. We lay parquet, vinyl or carpet over firm, level tiles after treating deep grout lines and raised tiles.
Water-resistant vinyl is usually better in kitchens since surface water does not harm it, whereas parquet is affected by heavy water. We never put floating planks under fixed cabinets.
Usually yes with floating floors, because we work room by room and move furniture between rooms. It depends on the floor type and the number of rooms, and we plan the schedule with you.
It varies with the area, the number of rooms, old floors and levelling, often from a day to several days. We give an estimate after the inspection.
Sometimes, because moisture in new screed causes problems for parquet and vinyl. We check moisture and advise waiting or a suitable barrier depending on the case.
Yes, and it is common. We coordinate profiles, heights and colours at the doors so the rooms look harmonious.
The size of each room and photos of the current floors, doors and stairs, plus what you prefer for each room if you have an idea. We then confirm the quote at the free inspection.
Send room sizes and photos on WhatsApp, and we will arrange the inspection and a fitting date in Riyadh.
