A kitchen or bathroom may have been tiled, but living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms all had a nice bit of shagpile or Axminster to sink your feet into. But with the rise of laminate floors, people began to look at different options, realising that wooden style floors could look stylish, but were also practical and easy to clean, especially for people with young children and pets.
