When the owner of the popular Instagram home account, @our_neutral_home_yorkshire, decided to renovate her utility room, she was looking for a flooring solution that was both stylish and functional.

The space needed to withstand the practical demands of everyday life, laundry, muddy boots, and plenty of foot traffic, while aligning with her signature neutral and modern aesthetic.

After exploring several options, the homeowner, Abi, chose Forbo’s Enduro Click luxury vinyl flooring in an oak design. Enduro Click is designed with practicality in mind, featuring a robust locking system and a protective top layer ideal for high-traffic.

With old ceramic tiles flooring the room before the rennovation, our Enduro Click adhesive free planks were the perfect solution to lay directly over the top, with no need to remove or screed over the existing floor, saving Abi time and money.

Why Oak? The Oak design finish was the perfect complement to the home’s calm, neutral tones. It brings a touch of natural texture and warmth, softening the utility space while maintaining a clean and cohesive look with the rest of the interiors. The utility room has been completely transformed into a bright, welcoming, and functional space. The Washed Oak flooring adds visual interest while standing up to daily wear and tear. The light wood tone helps reflect natural light, making the room feel larger and more inviting.

Abi said at the start of her project "Can we really make this space a useable room?? That was the question we asked ourselves over & over!" but after transforming the space she then said "We have managed to create a space I didn’t even think was imaginable!"

This renovation highlights how utility spaces can be both practical and beautiful. Forbo’s Enduro Click in Washed Oak provided the ideal flooring solution balancing aesthetics with performance resulting in a utility room that fits perfectly with the style and function of a modern Yorkshire home.
