It’s a dream for many: owning a holiday house in a vacation park, nestled in the woods, or in a vibrant European city. Once you’ve chosen the perfect location and finalized the purchase, it’s time to get to work! One of the most important foundations of your holiday home is the flooring. You want a floor that matches the atmosphere of your second home—one that can also handle some wear and tear. Whether you’re enjoying a weekend by the sea, a summer walk through the forest, or a cozy winter evening by the fireplace, the right floor brings peace of mind, beautiful aesthetics, and practical convenience. In this blog, you’ll discover what to consider when choosing flooring for your vacation retreat, which floors are both practical and stylish, and how to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can truly unwind.
Why is flooring so important?
Because the floor is used daily—and often intensively—it plays a major role in the interior of your holiday home. The goal is to escape the daily grind and truly relax. That’s why it’s important to remember: the interior of your second home matters just as much as your main residence. It directly contributes to your sense of peace and relaxation. Floors in vacation houses should not only be beautiful, but also resistant to sand, moisture, and wet footprints—or paw prints. After a walk through the woods, you can’t really blame Bikkel for leaving muddy paw marks. And after a day at the beach with the kids, you’ll inevitably find sand everywhere… on the sofa, the floor, in the bath—you name it. People tend to live more outdoors during holidays, and that shows indoors. Floors endure more wear. Whether it’s a chalet in the mountains, a cottage in the woods, or a beach house, the right floor makes your stay more comfortable and carefree. So choose a strong, low-maintenance floor for your own little “B&B Full of Love.”
Creating a Warm and Rustic Atmosphere
Dreaming of a classic, cozy vibe in your holiday house? A herringbone floor is a stunning choice. Our Herringbone Laminate in Natural Oak offers a timeless, natural look that pairs beautifully with rustic interiors. The floor’s distinctive pattern instantly adds character and warmth. Picture wooden furniture, earthy tones, and a big, soft throw blanket on the couch—it all comes together perfectly, doesn’t it? And just as important: this floor isn’t just beautiful, it’s practical too. It’s scratch-resistant and easy to clean. So even if sand or mud finds its way inside, there’s no need to worry. After a long walk, you can kick back and relax without stressing over stains or scuffs.

Nature cabins, countryside retreats, and anyone who loves warmth and character.
Creating a Sleek and Modern Look

These floors are especially well-suited for beach houses or minimally styled chalets. And the best part?
