Your Blank Canvas Awaits!
One of the biggest joys of moving into a new build home is the untouched, neutral shell you're handed — a true blank canvas. With clean lines, fresh walls, and open, airy rooms, the flooring you choose becomes one of the most important decisions in shaping the look and feel of your space. Whether you want to make a bold design statement or create a subtle backdrop for your furniture and décor, the right flooring can completely transform your new home. Floor Factory are here to make your dream a reality and guide you through the process of choosing the flooring for your new build home.
LVT Flooring - The Practical, Luxury Solution
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) flooring has quickly become one of the most popular flooring choices for new build homes— and for good reason. It’s stylish, practical, and incredibly versatile, making it ideal for busy households and contemporary living.
But choosing LVT doesn’t mean you’re limited to modern looks. In fact, many homeowners are surprised to discover just how beautifully LVT can replicate traditional designs. Introducing traditional design elements such as Victorian or Edwardian-style floors can bring unexpected character and charm to a modern home, qualities that some new builds can lack until you start layering in your personal style. Heritage-inspired LVT ranges from brands like Amtico and their Décor range make this simple. Their collections replicate classic geometric motifs, parquet patterns, and period-style detailing with incredible realism. These floors work especially well in hallways, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Of course, not every homeowner wants the floor to be the star of the show. In new build homes, where walls are typically painted in crisp whites and soft neutrals, a more understated flooring choice can help your decor, furniture or artwork take centre stage. Pale woods, elegant stone effects, or soft greys blend seamlessly into minimalist schemes while still adding depth and texture. Keeping the flooring neutral also allows you to introduce colour through rugs, accessories, and feature walls. This can easily be accomplished with LVT.
The Real Deal – Solid & Engineered Wood Flooring
While LVT offers superb practicality, nothing matches the authenticity and natural beauty of real wood. For new homeowners who want a floor that matures gracefully over time, solid or engineered wood flooring is an exceptional option.
Wood delivers timeless appeal and instantly elevates any room with its rich tones and organic textures. It brings natural warmth that softens the contemporary edges of a new build, helping the space feel more established and lived-in. Engineered wood flooring is also a great option, which brings the best of both worlds, performing brilliantly in modern homes where temperature and humidity levels can fluctuate.
Brands like Woodpecker provide beautifully crafted, sustainably sourced wood floors in a wide range of styles, from classic oak boards to contemporary wide planks and darker, dramatic finishes. If you want a floor that feels luxurious and truly special, real wood is in a league of its own.... but sometimes it’s comfort that’s what you crave.
Cosy Carpets
There’s nothing quite like the comfort of carpet. In new build homes, carpet is a popular choice for bedrooms, lounges, and cosy living spaces because it adds an immediate sense of warmth and homeliness. It helps with insulation, reduces noise and provides a soft surface underfoot that makes every room feel more inviting.
Carpet is also incredibly versatile. With endless options for colour, texture, and pile, it’s easy to find a style that fits your vision, whether you prefer something plush and luxurious or sleek and understated. In a new build, where the structure and finishes may initially feel quite crisp, carpet brings a softness that balances the overall design beautifully.
