The builder had installed a nice classic LVP downstairs and carpet upstairs. DON’T install vinyl plank flooring if it connects to carpet It would simply have looked like an updated 70s bathroom, NOT a badly updated 70s bathroom. ![]() If the homeowner had chosen sheet vinyl flooring in a white hex pattern, for example, that would have been way better. To avoid the “yesterday and today” look, your bathroom should look like everything was installed at the SAME TIME. If you are renovating a bathroom and not replacing everything, that’s when you need to keep reading this mantra over and over again: DON’T install vinyl plank flooring into an old bathroom like this Okay now onto the don’ts, since there are so many. Why? Because it’s often the DIY crowd that gets seduced by a good sale on some taupe or grey LVP that does nothing to improve the look of the older, dated bathroom. The next time you update your bathroom, consider using floating LVP or LVT to quickly transform that room into a modern space for you and your family. Upgrading to vinyl is a cheap investment in your home and will look nearly identical to stone or wood. Most people want the look of real wood or stone, without the hassle that comes along with it, and they don’t want to empty too much of their wallets to get it. The ease of installation and the low cost rank pretty high for those wanting to install it themselves. The DIY crowd will benefit the most from LVT and LVP floor coverings.

If you’ve already installed them, and they don’t extend throughout the rest of your home, perhaps it’s best if you keep clicking as well? After all, ignorance is bliss sometimes. If you don’t agree with me, you can just keep clicking. Please note, this is my opinion and it doesn’t mean it’s right. So I actually only have one DO when it comes to installing vinyl plank floors. It should visually look like, “How nice, the same hardwood floors (that’s what a good LVP should look like) simply extend into the bathrooms too” just like this image below: This mistake is so widespread, after I saw it again today in one of our eDesign projects (installed by a previous homeowner) I decided it was an emergency to post this list of Dos and Don’ts: DO Install vinyl plank floors when it is continuous throughout your new build or renovation without interruption by a different flooring Here are some dos and don’ts for installing vinyl plank floors in the bathroom.
