Y'all, we all know what one of the most expensive things to makeover in your home is your floors. Many of us have been left wondering if there even such a thing as cheap (as in inexpensive, not as in unattractive, lol) flooring ideas? Hardwood, tile, laminate hardwood…there are lots of choices, and most come with a seriously hefty price tag.

When we moved in, all of our floors needed a complete overhaul. I have ALWAYS loved hardwood, but it was completely out of our price range. So we went with laminate, and we couldn't be happier. Read about that here in our downstairs and upstairs. We could have installed new laminate floors throughout our entire house, but instead, I was inspired save our budget and get creative.

I looked for, and found, some cheap flooring ideas to use on the horribly damaged bamboo floors in our kitchen and dining room, as well as the vinyl in our laundry room. We painted our wood kitchen floor and our vinyl laundry room floors and couldn't be happier with the results. Painting those floors was our perfect fix, but there are so many GORGEOUS, but cheap, flooring ideas out there that you are sure to find one here that is perfect for your home!
