What is Quick-Step Laminate Flooring?
It’s a high-quality laminate flooring with a glueless, integrated click system. This is made up of four layers; a balancing layer, moisture resistant high-density fiber core board, a high definition design layer and a transparent, water-resistant overlay (melamine resin) on the very top.
Why is Quick-Step Laminate Flooring so Popular?
Quick-Step Laminate Flooring is a great brand according to the husband and he should know as he has refurbished numerous properties. It’s a quality flooring product that you can purchase at an affordable price. This leading brand is available at all good flooring stockists as it is in such high demand.
But aside from price why is this flooring so popular?
Well, the designers that create the various options are inspired by the latest trends in fashion, design and even architecture resulting in an abundance of replicated options. So, if you want a wooden floor but can’t afford real wood this is the answer. It gives the appearance of real wood, but, unlike real wood, it doesn’t lose its colour over time due to sun exposure. It is also easy to fit and maintain and is hard-wearing. You’ll often get a warranty of up to 25 years depending on the floor model. The product is also easier to remove and replace should the need arise. This type of flooring is more resistant to scratches than natural wood. Many of the laminate floor collections have a HydroSeal water-repellent coating making them 100% water-resistant. In summation, you get the perks of a wooden floor and more.
Choosing Your Flooring to Give the Impression of a Larger Sized Room
The colour of the floor can affect the feel or a room so it is important to choose wisely. Make sure you check a sample in different lights throughout the day. Samples will differ in appearance when compared between artificial and daylight.
Using the same flooring throughout the home can give a sense of space which is even more important if the rooms are on the smaller side. By doing this you create a seamless look and the illusion of a more substantial space.
For smaller rooms opt for lighter colours in decoration and wood choice as these help open up the room and makes it look considerably larger. The light reflects off the bright surfaces making them look more spacious. A light or beige oak will work well.
Alternatively, darker colours like walnut work well in bigger rooms giving them a warmer, smaller, cosier feel as they absorb light. Dark coloured wood effect laminate floors can also be used to trick the eye into thinking that a room is more sizable when contrasted with a cool coloured wall. Such colours include; hues of blue, green and purple.
Using wider pieces of Quick-Step laminate flooring can give the appearance of a larger room especially if you make the planks run parallel with the longest wall in the room.
Another option is to lay the floor diagonally. This deceives the eyes and brain into seeing the space as bigger than it actually is.

It’s not often you find a flloor that’s practical AND stylish. Interesting to learn how even the direction of the planks can make a difference ?
It’s great to be aware of these things as it can really help when you decide to get a floor laid.
Useful post abour flooring and the different directions you can lay the floor
I’m not brilliant with DIY buy enjoy trying. I’m considering laminate over carpet so this could be a great option to think about.
It would work very well and look great!
Really like the look of this flooring! Looking to get my kitchen and hall floor done and think this will be the way forward – thank you!
Hi Lorna. It can work well in a range of rooms in the home. You ill be very pleased at how easy it is to clean too.
I had Quickstep fitted in a previous home and it was beautiful, very easy to care for and still looked perfect when we sold the house 2 or 3 years later.
It’s amazing isn’t it. It lasts for ages!!!!
Laminates make cleaning up after children and animals so much easier
It sure does. It’s much more hygienic than carpet, especially in the kitchen.
Love the flooring, would love to have this done in my home
Quality wooden flooring can really make the difference to a room. Personally I prefer dark wood with a large rug.
I’m thinking of new flooring so laminates will definitrly be one of the optiond
That laminate looks great, not like the fake looking stuff that was available a few years ago. I especially love the flooring in the long narrow hallway.
The imaging has come a long way. They look amazing now!
It really does look very nice, we’re reconsidering tiles right now and this sounds like a very good option
the floors look great and stylish in this post
I love how spacious the living room looks
Using the right style of flooring can really help make rooms look larger x
The flooring sounds really good. I love that it is not as expensive as real wood.
It’s a lovely comfort to add to your home, in any room too it would work.
It can really make a room look so much nicer.
Looks like good quality stuff.
Laminate flooring looks so neat and stylish. I would like a light grey effect for my living room. It’s also a lot easier to clean than carpet x
We have used quick step laminate flooring in a room previously & it did look good & was very functional, but I do love the comfort of a nice carpet. We have a tiled kitchen floor as Hubby is a professional tiler.
Hi, this looks mazing. Love the flooring and tips.
Thanks Leanne. Glad you liked the post.
In my living room it be amazing. I can just wipe it clean. The table looks so pretty. I must look it up.
This flooring looks great i’ve never used this type of flooring before i’ve always used carpets but this had made me want to update to this type of flooring
Great looking flooring. We have something similar in our utility room
It’s easy to clean if you have any spills.
I’ve got to laid a new floor in our kitchen after Christmas so thanks for the tips again tricking the eye with direction of the boards. That’s very useful!
This looks really nice. The laminate in my hallway needs replacing, and this would look great in there.
Sounds like this is ideal for you.
I love my laminate flooring best thing ive ever done
They do look fabulous. I think that they’re such a great option.
I love laminate flooring and i find them much easier on the eye than carpets.
They really do look so much nicer. They can make a room look so much more luxurious with the right additions.
Love how you can get so many different styles and looks from laminate!
It’s great. This allows you to create the look you want in your own home.
I like the flooring but I would have loads of rugs for comfort if the kids were on the floor
Hmm I never realised that what colour you chose had an impact on how big or small it makes a room look. I have quite a small living room and have been wanting a dark oak flooring but I think I’ll have to rethink as I’d like my room to look bigger. X
Great flooring and looks easy to maintain too
We have just had new laminate flooring in our living room and its absolutely transformed it. Can’t wait to host our family Christmas now!
I bet it looks lovely Alana.
Laminate flooring is affordable, stylish and easy to clean.
Must admit most of these tips never occurred to me! Something to think about when decorating my future home. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Glad to have given you some ideas Kamara.
Totally agree with light colours adding space, that’s what we have just done in our living room!
We have a light colour carpet throughout the house which I think gives a feel of space and flow. It is getting to the time we need to replace and this laminate flooring is an option I think we must look at. Could spread the cost too by doing individual rooms.
I love laminate flooring. It’s so easy to keep clean. I’m moving soon and hope to be able to have it again.
I hope you can too, it makes a big difference.
That wood in the very bottom picture is absolutely beautiful, it gives such a cosy feeling looking at it
Thanks for your review – I have been considering using quick-step flooring and may well use it in my hallway which is my next project x
Sounds like you found this post just at the right time. I bet it will look lovely.
I wasn’t sure if I could do it myself but this has given me some great ideas!
We love our laminate flooring. Like you said thinking of colour is so important. We went for a greyish brown which blended with our grey carpet and helped keep the hallway bright
Fab blog, i’m obsessed with the palm leaf wallpaper!
flooring really makes a huge difference we have not had carpet for years, we have engineered mid oak throughout, so much easier to keep clean.
Beautiful home – really like the flooring. It looks really natural and great quality.
This looks great and it’s easy to maintain. Have similar chosen for my living room
we’re looking at flooring at the moment as we are renovating a house
Flooring makes such a big difference to the overall feel and look of the room. I have a room that is rather small and lighter flooring has made it look bigger than it actually is and more inviting.
I love your photos they really show off the possibilities of your range of floors!
That’s some great flooring – on another note I love the over hanging silver lamp in the 3rd picture down
This would be a massive improvement in our house
Laminate flooring and available in a wide range of colours. So practical, easy to clean and durable.
I love the grey sofas with the yellow cushions!
I love the cosy feeling laminate gives, how easy it is to clean especially with 8 children!
I love the laminate in the hall way. It has a real classy look, it does make the space look bigger.
What great advice thank you, my kitchen floor needs updating, I’m looking for something hardwearing and easy to keep clean. Can it be used in a bathroom? Think I need to investigate more.
I love the idea of lying it diagonally to make the space seem larger, definitely something I’ll be considering after Christmas when we decorate our hallway!
It’s great to find tips about these things before you take on a project.
This is the perfect prize to win in the run up to Christmas, fingers crossed
Looks really chic and great quality. Love that it’s easy to maintain and clean.
Me too, it makes life easier.
Scandi-Boho is my favourite interior design style. Lots of plants and ‘clean’ colours. I think this flooring fits perfectly with my preferences and would look great with all my plants!
Really like the look of this lovely flooring. Stylish.
I love the colour palettes of the designs in the photos, really the kind of thing i go for, housegoals !!
I hope you manage to do the same in your home.
I have this flooring in my bedroom, I love it.
It would work well there.
I love laminate flooring, looks stylish and so easy to clean. You’ve have some great decorating tips aswell. I never considered painting ceilings the same colour as the walls before but will be giving this a try in my son’s tiny box room.
Thanks Lea. Glad you found this post useful.
It looks so great in all those rooms – really makes me think about it for when we do our next room at home!
Impressed by the range of colour options for this flooring!
Sam
We have walnut laminate flooring in our hallway, it really is lovely and easy to care for. I’d like it in the living room too but other half wants to stick with carpet. Perhaps if I show him your article, he’ll change his mind x
I love the looks and varieties that these laminates come in. I live in a rented flat and I have the ‘luxury’ of having carpet in both my kitchen and bathroom so I would love to be able to put these kinds of laminate down in these rooms so I can ensure that they are clean and disinfected.
This is fab. I love that its easy to remove if needed too!
Great prize, thankyou for the competition x
The flooring looks really good in the kitchen. I tend to associate it more with living/sleeping areas
Looks great!
Very stylish interior design. Given me lots of ideas for things to do in upcoming renovations.
nice clean lines, easy to clean, hardwearing & durable.
Would have in the kitchen, I am glad that I made a good choice
There are some lovely pieces of furniture in this post. Useful ideas for laying flooring too.
I would love this to spend on Lego for Christmas
i think this would be so much easier to keep clean than having carpets in a house.
Thank you for the post, really helpful
That flooring looks lovely, love the tips on laying it so it makes the room look bigger, would never even thought of doing that!
I’ve got laminate flooring in most of my house. I hesitated to put it in the bedrooms but I’m so glad I did. It’s so much easier to clean and I just have lots of rugs to warm the place up.
Laminate flooring is very practical. We have had ours for years now.
Beautiful clean and modern looking floors. I really like them.
This would be my ideal flooring choice! Unfortunately my landlord has different ideas
It looks stylish and must be really easy to keep clean, but for me nothing beats the feel of carpet under your feet, especially when you get out of bed on a chilly morning
Love the white decor against dark flooring , I don’t think it’s a look that will ever date.
Nice!
Oh wow! It looks absolutely fabulous, and the floor boards really work with the room ?
That flooring is absolutely beautiful! I’ve always been scared of using laminate flooring as I always think of it as cold, slippery and dirty. However in those photos it looks so cosy and nice!
I like laminate flooring. If we had a bit more money, I’d put laminate in the lounge so it’d be easier to clear up after our mucky pup!
This is really useful! I’m just about to start making some changes in my house and have been wondering what flooring to choose so this has been a helpful read
We have quick-step laminate flooring in our hallway and have laid it length ways to make it look bigger too. It has made a big difference x
Some genius tips here, especially making rooms appear bigger
Absolutely love laminate flooring, Unfortunately I’m in rented accommodation with generic carpet! If I had my way it would be some gorgeous laminate
Ooooh it looks sooo good! I need this in my home
I do love a good wooden floor. We have wood floors in the kitchen and dining room, and considering a bedroom or two!
Some nice flooring would be good with a house full of hounds.
Love the way you’ve decorated – very clean and white and uncluttered! My home is all the colours of the rainbow – different for different rooms, and the clutter is taking over – but it says a lot about my personality, as does anyone’s home, and life would be boring if we all were the same!!
We are looking to change our flooring so I really appreciate the tips! And thank you for a great giveaway
Thank you for the post and useful tips. Flooring is such an investment it is important to think about it. I am fascinated by the option of laying the laminate flooring diagonally.
This looks like lovely flooring and I found the post useful. I always struggle with the colour as we have large muddy dogs.
I am looking to replace my flooring in the New Year and this is definately worth considering
great giveaway! i love laminate it makes a room look so much bigger!
Never considered laminate flooring. My kitchen has lino, which was in the house when I bought it over 25 years ago! It’s looking pretty rough now!
I love the uncluttered clean look of these rooms with the fab flooring.
love the flooring xx
I love quick step I have it in several rooms
great post ,have laminate and love it
Floorbilous
The flooring looks amazing and gives really good advice! It looks really easy to clean and maintain which is really important to me xx
We have fitted laminate in my son’s bedroom, it is so easy to clean.
These look really high quality, and very realistic for laminate flooring xxx
Love the tip about using the same flooring throughout in a small house. Will be trying that!
I like how clean it looks and I love the prints on the walls.
This would make clearing up after spills so much easier!
i am horrendous at diy our new was a new build so were still trying to decide a colour scheme
I prefer real wood floors or tiles to laminate also love rugs etc. Good read thank you.
I like that it’s quick and easy to install and low maintenance.
I love the look and ease of cleaning with laminate flooring but living room and bedroom will always have carpets in my home
Love the look this gives without the cost or labour involved in real wood flooring
Love laminate, it’s so easy to lay and takes no time at all.
I’ve been meaning to get laminate flooring in my bedroom for ages now. Have it in the kitchen and it is an absolute godsend!
Very stylish. It makes such a difference when it’s throughout the home.
I’ve never seen diagonal laminate flooring. I wonder if this is more difficult or expensive to install?
I’ve never considered laminate flooring – it looks so shiny and such a classy finish! It’s tiling and carpets all the way in our house, we’ve never laid wooden flooring in our time living there, probably due to the fear of rot and infestation. This article has definitely changed my perception of wooden flooring though!
Some really helpful tips here. Our house needs a massive revamp and we have some very small spaces, so I think I’ll use some the tips you have given to try and create a more spacious feel.
Would love to win the fab prize
I think laminate flooring can look nice and is certainly easier to keep clean. My mum is a big fan of it for that reason.
Very clean and modern – you’ve got some great ideas here
Great prize – love the look of your home it looks fab
To be honest laminate flooring isn’t for me.I prefer a cosy home.
Great flooring, just had our kitchen and bathroom done.
Love the laminate in hallway, has a really elegant vibe.
Yes, looking at what you’ve do it looks really great, especially the living area
a very informative post and the flooring looks fantastic
I don’t have any laminate fllooring at the moment, but it’s very tempting.
I’ve been wary of laminate flooring in the past – heard quite a few horror stories – but now I think it might be a good option for our hallway. It is on the north side of the house and the hallway is not very wide. Laminate might make it feel warmer and bigger while being eminently practical
I always worry about laminate flooring as i use a stick and worry about slipping on it if someone spills something and doesn’t clean up so i stick to carpets until there is a non slip version
Brilliant Inspiration!
The rooms look very stylish – love the colourways
All the different floors look great, I especially like the light coloured one
some great advice here I’ve always wondered about laminate but though it would be cold
We’ve had tiled floors for so long, this gives us big inspiration for laminate!
Great option to consider! Looks like good value
Need this flooring throughout the whole of my downstairs!
I really like the tip on using wide runs that are parallel. I’m hoping to get new flooring in my hall next year and I think I’m going to try that.
I have never thought about the need to check flooring colour in all light before. We are planning on a new floor next year so that is very useful. Thanks
I love laminate, it’s really come a long way over the last few years and you can get some amazing designs.
These all look so lovely it’s hard to choose a favourite
Great post. Looks very stylish and love the different colours. Definitely something I would consider for my home when decorating.
We have this in the living room but want to get the bedrooms done. The tips you gave around different colours/styles is really helpful in choosing the right ones!
Fab prize
I love laminate flooring it’s so easy to keep clean and wipe up any spillages. I’ve had mine for 15 years and it still looks ok, I’m changing it soon though to a different colour one, I love the colours you have featured here.
The flooring is amazing, I am in lurve with that wallpaper! Wowsers! That is stunning.
This looks like a good quality product! It would be perfect in my living room, concerned about my dogs slipping though….
I love the lighter wood laminate it really brightens up the room.
Loving the different options shown here and accessories to match each room. Flooring really ties it all together
I love how laminate flooring looks, but I’m really heavy-footed and I think carpet is best for me. I’m loving the quality of vinyls you can get now though. I have some in the conservatory that looks just like wood.
My sort of style – like the lighter colours – Merry Christmas x
Really like the flooring – would suit my living room.
We have laminate wood in the sitting room and in my son’s bedroom, and it’s so warm! And if you get the type with a grain it just feels like real wood.
Flooring is something I don’t think enough about but it really makes sense a difference, thanks for this!
laminate is so much nicer and more hygenic than carpet in my opinion
great post showing so many different design choices
Some really good advice about how to use them to enhance the room
I would like to win the £25 pound giveaway and different but done all my flooring now.
It looks great and is easy to clean however I have always found the houses colder and guess I love the feel of walking on a carpet. Which is a shame because I love the look
nice tips on making a small room look bigger, thanks
I need to replace my living room floor – it did well over the 10 years promised so I am happy to use laminate again.
I’m not very good at DIY but i do have lots of ideas. Love how the flooring looks
Laminate flooring looks great now just like the real thing
I would use this, it looks ideal
I’ve got laminate flooring in an extension and love it. It’s much warmer than I thought it would be and the range of colours/shades finishes now are amazing!
I love the style of all these rooms very stylish
Great article- I’ve just put laminate down in my new flat. Was really useful reading this first! Thanks 🙂
Lovely rooms. The laminate in the hall looks so stylish and rustic.
Looks like such lovely flooring, I have my eye on some of the furniture too
Thanks for the great prize and competition. Good luck everyone!
I love the look of your flooring, it adds something to the room
I think this is such a great option! I’ve been toying with the idea of real wood flooring but have been worried by the cost and the possible scratches it’d get over time!
Love the walnut flooring with the green hues and the plant, looks lovely!
i very useful post, the flooring looks fantastic
This looks great, our wood flooring has quite a few dents in it.
This type of flooring suits us down to the ground. Our dogs are taken out lots of walks and when they come in with muddy wet feet {which, in Scotland, is most of the time} the floor is easy enough to clean. The lighter coloured floor is my favourite.
I love the light wood tones of the laminate flooring. What a transformation it can make all through the house/
Some very inspiring ideas here thank you very much and a very merry christmas x
I love this – so easy to keep clean with 6 monster dogs
Love laminate cos I have kids, an absolute godsend – this looks nice and simple too!!! Lovely colours
Love the natural looking flooring, I would like this in my home!
I don’t have laminate flooring but love the look of it.
I like the crisp clean look of it
thank you for hosting the blog and for the review – quick step flooring is something i would like in my home x
I love the advice given here and the selection of colours is amazing, I especially like the lighter colours and think I would consider some for the upstairs in my house
I’d love to replace our carpets with laminate.
Laminate looks great
I’d love to put laminate flooring in our living room – I think the light colours would work really well.
I have a dog so laminate flooring is perfect for me, love the advice I will definitely look at putting this in
The lighter colour are stunning – just my style
The laminate flooring looks lovely, stylish, modern and looks expensive if though it is not. I’m giving my house a revamp and these I will be most definately be considering.
It looks lovely and easy to fit but how is it underfoot for dogs? I wouldn’t want mine falling over.
I’m a visual person and the photos say it all. Makes me want to walk on them bare foot and spread my toes.
I’m getting house envy looking at the gorgeous pictures. Clearly laminate flooring looks good and works in lots of different settings.
got laminate in the hallway looks great and stylish
It looks great in the home.
I am a massive fan of wooden , natural looking floor
The flooring actually looks really good quality and would be a great way to save money too
It’s a great money saver.
What a lovely prize.
Merry Christmas ?
Hope you have a good one
ks Amy, you too.
