How to Choose the Best Flooring for Your Colorado Household  

Are you planning a new flooring project for your Colorado home? Updating your floors is one of the most rewarding ways to transform your space, but with so many options, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. For households across Colorado, flooring isn’t just about style; it also needs to stand up to our unique climate, active lifestyles, and diverse home designs.  

At FH Flooring, we help families across Golden and the greater Denver Metro area choose the perfect floors through our mobile showroom and personalized in-home consultations. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make the best flooring decision for your Colorado household.

Consider Colorado’s Climate and Environment 

Colorado’s climate presents unique challenges for flooring. Hot summers, snowy winters, and year-round low humidity levels mean you’ll want to choose materials that can handle seasonal changes. 

• Hardwood flooring can be an excellent investment, but it needs proper acclimation and ongoing humidity control to prevent warping or gaps. 

• Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and laminate offer strong resistance to temperature fluctuations and moisture, making them a popular choice for basements and kitchens. 

• Carpet provides comfort and insulation, helping to keep your home cozy during cold winters. 

By factoring in Colorado’s dry air and shifting temperatures, you can select flooring that looks great while lasting for years. 

Match Flooring to Your Lifestyle 

Your household’s daily routine plays a big role in choosing the best flooring. 

• Families with kids and pets: Look for scratch-resistant, durable options like LVP or laminate. These floors are easy to clean and can handle heavy activity. 

• Cozy bedrooms and living rooms: Carpet is a great option for creating warmth and sound absorption, perfect for family spaces or upstairs rooms. 

• Entertaining spaces: Hardwood adds elegance and timeless appeal, ideal for dining rooms and open-concept living areas.

Explore Flooring Options 

Every household is different, which is why FH Flooring carries a variety of flooring choices that balance style, comfort, and practicality for Colorado living. 

Hardwood Flooring 

Hardwood floors bring timeless beauty and lasting value. They work especially well in main living areas, dining rooms, and hallways. With Colorado’s dry climate, proper acclimation before installation is key, along with maintaining consistent indoor humidity. When cared for, hardwood can last decades and increase your home’s resale value. 

Carpet 

Carpet adds comfort, warmth, and sound insulation—perfect for Colorado winters. It’s a top choice for bedrooms, playrooms, and family rooms. Modern carpet options are more stain-resistant and durable than ever, making them a practical choice for busy households. 

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) 

LVP is one of the most versatile flooring options available. It’s waterproof, scratch-resistant, and designed to handle daily wear and tear. That makes it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, and basements, especially in Colorado, where snow, slush, and dirt can be tracked indoors. Plus, it comes in a wide range of styles that mimic the look of hardwood or stone. 

Find out what makes luxury vinyl plank flooring a smart choice for busy Colorado families. 

Laminate Flooring 

Laminate offers the appearance of hardwood at a more affordable price. It’s durable, easy to maintain, and well-suited for high-traffic areas. Many laminate floors are now designed with water-resistant technology, making them a smart option for active Colorado families with kids and pets. 

Learn how laminate flooring offers endless design possibilities without breaking the bank. 

Think About Design and Home Value 

Flooring isn’t just about practicality—it’s also about design. In Colorado, many homes embrace a mountain-modern or contemporary aesthetic, and the right flooring can enhance that look. 

• Dark hardwoods create a dramatic, upscale appearance. 

• Wide-plank LVP can make open spaces feel larger. 

• Neutral-tone carpet blends easily with evolving décor. 

It’s also important to consider resale value. Buyers consistently look for hardwood or quality LVP, which means your flooring decision can directly impact your home’s market appeal.

Answers to Your Flooring Questions

Luxury vinyl plank and laminate perform very well in Colorado because they’re resistant to dry air and seasonal shifts. Hardwood is also a great option with proper acclimation and humidity control. 

Is hardwood a good choice in dry conditions? 
Yes, but it’s important to let hardwood acclimate before installation and maintain indoor humidity levels to avoid shrinking or gaps.

LVP and laminate are the best options for households with pets since they’re scratch-resistant and easy to clean.
