Choosing a new floor is one of the most important things to do when planning any new space. Unlike paint colours, cushions and furniture, this area of your home is something you probably won’t change very often, so you need to make the right decision. Use Karndean Designflooring’s simple five-step guide to get you started.

1 Find your style: Answer a few key questions and discover your ideal options at Karndean.com/stylefinder, or create your own moodboards to help narrow down your search. If you feel you need a starting point, you can use the online Floorstyle Floor Designer tool and view different types in a variety of rooms.

2 Bring ideas to life: Search on the App Store for Karndean Designflooring and download the free augmented reality app for iPad and iPhone and see how any Karndean floor will look in your home.

3 Order free samples: Visit the online shop and order up to six free samples, so you can touch and feel the surface of your favourite designs. Consider buying a full-size sample of your top choices to get a better idea of size and texture.

4 Visit a UK showroom: Talk to an expert product advisor, based at Karndean Designflooring’s showroom in Evesham, Worcestershire, who can introduce you to the complete range and tell you where you can buy it locally.

5 Select your preferred retailer: Search the Find a Retailer tool on the Karndean Designflooring website and track down your preferred retailer. All offer a free quote and measuring service.
