By PAMELA SIEGEL
For those seeking a budget-friendly alternative to the often expensive traditional hardwood flooring, HGTV's Alison Victoria recommends laminate flooring.
During an HGTV Q&A, Victoria pointed out that laminate can cost as low as $2 per square foot, offering significant savings compared to the $10 or more per square foot for hardwood.
"[T]hese days it looks so ridiculously good, you can hardly tell it's not real wood," Victoria noted. She also praised its durability against foot traffic and ease of installation.
When also emphasizing the versatility of laminate, Victoria said, "In some cases, you can even lay it directly over your existing floors, especially if they're tile."
