Updating the flooring in your home is certainly an investment that makes a huge impact. We are just wrapping up a huge flooring makeover in our home using Mohawk's Uniclic Laminate flooring and to stretch our budget, we installed the flooring ourselves in our living room and dining room then had Oser's team of professional installers help us with the upstairs bedrooms.Having experienced both the DIY route and professional installation in just a short few weeks, I'll tell you that there are pros and cons to both. Leaving the installation to the pros was certainly fast and easy. The team arrived by around 8 AM and had completed an entire bedroom before lunch and put all of the furniture back as it was before they started. It was like I snapped and had new flooring! But installing the flooring ourselves certainly saved us money and allowed us to stretch our budget. It wasn't as fast or convenient but sometimes, we have more time than money.So, if you're planning a flooring makeover and need to stretch your budget, here's 5 of the easiest flooring options to install yourself!Click LVT is a great option if you want the look of wood but a fast and easy installation. This COREtec Plus Plank (featured here in Ivory Coast Oak) is waterproof and can be installed in wet areas, making it a great option for a fast kitchen or bathroom makeover. There is no need for adhesives as this flooring clicks together and locks.Karndean's Loose Lay flooring is a great option if you have kids or pets because you can easily replace a plank if it gets damaged (or let's say, doodled on by your two-year-old) and it's very low maintenance, making clean-up fast. Another thing that makes this flooring option attractive is that you won't need any power tools! You cut the planks with a box cutter.I cannot say enough good things about the Mohawk Uniclic flooring we've installed throughout our home. The installation is simple, it feels great underfoot and it makes my home feel clean. Our old flooring had wide spaces between the planks and I had to sweep the floor constantly. Even with two small kids, the floor is so easy to maintain. Here's a little video of our installation process. As you can, the planks just click together. Of course, there are plenty of options for laminate flooring and a variety of finishes. We used the Fawn Chestnut, which has a warm and weathered look.Carpet tiles are a great option for damp basements, commercial areas or even playrooms where there is a lot of foot traffic because replacing damaged tiles is so simple. Installation is easy and fast, making a transformation like the one below possible in just a weekend.You may be surprised by this option but installing ceramic flooring is much easier than you think. The hardest part is getting over your intimidation. A tile saw will make installation easier but if you're not a fan of power tools, you can spend about $20 on a simple tile cutter that scores and snaps the tile. If you can butter bread, you can install ceramic tile! Here's a quick video I shot while using my tile cutter:Do you have a flooring dilemma? Tell us about it in the comments below!
Do you need to update your tile, linoleum or wood floors? Try one of these cheap flooring ideas that won&#;t break the bank!
You know how sometimes you can make a single update to a room and it looks completely different? I always have thought paint was the single biggest update you can make to a room (outside of a major structural change) but lately I&#;ve realized something else can make an even bigger impact&#;flooring!
To be fair, flooring does cost more than a single can of paint. However, you might be shocked at how affordably you can change your floors without it looking like cheap flooring!
Believe me&#;you don&#;t have to suffer with unsightly flooring you can&#;t stand until you can save up thousands of dollars. Instead, give some of these cheap diy flooring ideas a try. Every single one on this list is budget-friendly flooring and something that can be done as a DIY. Here are some of my favorite DIY cheap flooring ideas out there.
I just had to start with this section, since I just finished my very own budget-friendly makeover on tile floor! If you missed the post, I tried my hand at peel and stick vinyl tiles that were custom-sized to fit over my builder-beige blah tiles. I love the patterned cement tile trend that you see everywhere today, but I didn&#;t want to remove my existing tile or pay the hefty price tag for it, so I went the peel & stick route.
It&#;s worth clicking over to the post to read the full story, see how the room turned out and find out exactly what I would change the next time I do this, but&#;spoiler alert, all-in-all I LOVE them.
See what I mean? How gorgeous are those vinyl stickers? They look so realistic! If you want to see even more DIY peel and stick tile flooring options, check out my post with my favorite tile sticker options! You wouldn&#;t believe how many styles there are out there.

These peel & stick vinyl floor tiles are more durable than the stickers I just mentioned before. They are made of a rigid material and you can stick them on top of any level surface. I used them in my laundry room and I LOVE them! See the full tutorial here.
DIY Floor TilesThis option is so interesting to me! Did you know you can buy a sheet of patterned vinyl flooring, cut it to fit your room and roll it right on top of the existing floor? I had no idea. You don&#;t use any adhesive or nails to hold the flooring down. Instead, it sits just under the baseboard and is held in place by nothing else.
I love the pattern Lauren at Bless&#;er House chose&#;that marble hex tile is the perfect blend between modern and vintage. Check out her cheap flooring solution right here.
If you want an even higher end look on a budget, you might want to consider luxury vinyl tile flooring, which is a thicker tile that can be grouted. I&#;ve seen this in person before and you cannot tell it&#;s vinyl, even if you get right on the floor and inspect it. It&#;s so realistic!
This tutorial from Chris loves Julia will give you everything you need to get a high end look for less!
If you don&#;t like the look of tile, you may feel like hardwood floors are out of your price point. While finding genuine cheap hardwood floors is pretty rare, you can re-create the look of wood floors at a fraction of the price! Here&#;s how to get cheap flooring that looks like hardwoods.
One option is to skip hardwoods and instead opt for laminate flooring. You can find some very affordable flooring options in the laminate category, and the majority of them are easy to install on your own. Designer Trapped has a great post put together that details her experience with laminate and why she decided to go with laminate over hardwoods.
Want something a little different? Another cheap flooring idea is to install plywood floors. Yes, the sheets of plywood you see at the home improvement store. You&#;ll be shocked at how gorgeous this cheap flooring from House Seven turned out. I even love how it looked before it was painted!
Have worn out, damaged wooden floors? Paint them! The great thing about this is that it can be virtually any color you choose&#;I love the creamy white Liz Marie chose for her unfinished wood floors. Plus, it&#;s only about $0.10 per square foot!
You wouldn&#;t believe it but yes, these floors are made from brown paper bags! Gives the look of hardwood floors without all the cost. Plus, this cheap flooring tutorial from Remodelaholic means you can stain your floors to your color preference.
If you are looking for something a bit different, these ideas for cheap flooring are some excellent options. There truly is something for everyone here!
Like I mentioned before, the pattered cement tile look is super popular right now, but it&#;s not necessarily budget-friendly. If you don&#;t want to go the peel and stick route, you can use paint and a stencil to achieve a similar look! I think I&#;d like to try this in my laundry room since it&#;s a high-traffic area.
Kayla at Plum Pretty Decor & Design even made her own stencil for this job! I love how it turned out!
This idea kind of blows my mind. I have never thought of using it on the floor, but now I want to! You can create a stenciled look or whatever else you&#;d like&#;there are so many great styles of wallpaper out there. This idea from Grillo Designs is also a great cheap flooring idea for renters.
Okay, now you have a great reason to save up those pennies! Common cents says if you have a large jar of old pennies, make use out of them with this guaranteed-to-be unique cheap flooring that will literally cost you pennies, thanks to Pretty Purple Door.
For merely $30 in &#;porch & floor&#; paint and a little time, Tasha painted her linoleum floors in a classic gray and white stripe to totally transform her laundry room space. You can&#;t get much cheaper or easier than that!
This idea kind of blew my mind. I have never heard of anyone installing new tile right on top of the old tile. Ripping out old tile is extremely physical and thus quite expensive if you hire it out.
However, if you are looking for cheap floor tiles, ceramic tile is affordable and comes in a wide variety of patterns. Check out the full tutorial from Family Handyman.
Aren&#;t all of these ideas awesome? I know I&#;m partial to my peel and stick tile, but I do love so many of these other cheap flooring ideas too! Which is your favorite?
