A kitchen this small has to give something up. The whole job is choosing what.

This condo kitchen is one wall and a peninsula. No pantry. No second sink. What it has instead is a full run of uppers carried right to the ceiling, because in a footprint like this the storage has to go up or it does not go anywhere.

The peninsula is doing two jobs at once. On one side it is the kitchen. On the other it is the back of the living room, which is why the panel facing the sofa is finished like furniture rather than left as a bare cabinet end. In a space this open the kitchen is never out of sight, so it has to read as part of the room rather than an appliance wall you tolerate.

Lifetime warranty on the cabinet material, and a 3-year workmanship warranty on the installation.

Two cabinet finishes in one kitchen is the decision people are most afraid of.

This one runs green along the working side and pale oak up the tall wall. On paper that is a lot going on. It reads calm because the two finishes are doing different jobs. The colour sits low, where you actually work. The wood goes tall, where your eye lands.

The rule we give people is to let one of them be quiet. Here the oak is quiet. If both had been strong, a galley this narrow would fight itself and you would feel it every time you walked in.

The other thing a galley quietly buys you is distance. Sink, cooktop, ovens, all within a step. No island to walk around while you are carrying something hot.

Lifetime warranty on the cabinet material, and a 3-year workmanship warranty on the installation.

A grey floor is the easiest one to get wrong.

Wide plank luxury vinyl through this West Vancouver home, shot before the baseboards went back on.

Grey reads cool, and in a north facing room under Vancouver light it can tip grey-blue and make the whole space feel cold. What saves this one is the warmth buried in it. Look closely at the grain and there is brown and a little taupe running through the plank. That is what stops it going flat and lifeless under a grey sky.

So if you are shortlisting grey samples, take them home and look at them at four in the afternoon in November, not under showroom lights at noon. November is the light they actually have to work in.

Flooring here is installed by our own in-house crew, WorkSafeBC covered. Every job is overseen and warrantied by Canadian Home Style.

The fastest way to make a small bedroom feel bigger is under your feet.

Wide plank laminate in a pale, natural tone through this Burnaby home. A light floor bounces daylight back into the room instead of soaking it up, and running long planks through a small space stretches it visually in a way paint alone can't manage.

Laminate earns its place in a bedroom for another reason: the wear layer takes bed frames, dressers and daily traffic without complaint, and it stays easy to clean.

Every flooring install we do carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Your floor doesn't have to stay the way it is.

We're giving one Metro Vancouver homeowner $2,500 toward new floors.

This week's floor is a Burnaby home, wide plank laminate run through the main living space. Laminate gets written off by people remembering the shiny, hollow-sounding board from twenty-five years ago. A modern one with a proper wear layer and a real bevel is a different product, and it takes daily traffic better than most surfaces at the same price.

Show us the floor you'd most like to replace. The scratched hardwood. The carpet from 1998. The vinyl you've been apologising for since you moved in.

Entry takes two minutes and it's free. Photos go through the link in bio. That form is the entry, and you don't need to like, share or tag anyone.

Winner gets $2,500 off a flooring supply-and-install project of $10,000 or more, plus a free in-home design consultation with our team.

Every flooring install we do carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.

No purchase necessary. BC residents 19+ who own a home in Metro Vancouver. One entry per household. One prize, total ARV $2,800. Closes Sunday 27 September 2026. Odds depend on number of eligible entries. Skill-testing question required. Full rules in bio.

Hard maple is the floor you should almost never stain.

Hard maple through this West Vancouver home. It's one of the densest floors we install, which is exactly what causes the problem.

That tight, closed grain doesn't absorb stain evenly. Where oak drinks it up and looks better for it, maple takes it in patches. You get blotching, and you don't find out until the whole floor is done.

Which is why maple is usually run natural or factory-finished, where the colour goes on under controlled conditions before the board ever reaches the house. If someone offers to site-stain a maple floor dark, ask to see a sample done on your actual boards first.

Left alone, it's a pale, quiet, almost grainless floor. Some people find that plain. Others want exactly that and nothing else.

Every flooring install we do carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Laminate still has a reputation it earned in 1998 and hasn't deserved since.

Laminate through this downtown Vancouver home. The stuff people remember is the shiny, obviously fake, hollow-sounding board from twenty-five years ago. That product basically doesn't exist anymore.

Where modern laminate genuinely wins: surface hardness. The wear layer on a good laminate is tougher than vinyl and tougher than a site-finished hardwood. If you have a big dog with untrimmed nails, this is the floor that shrugs it off.

Where it loses: standing water. Laminate has a wood-based core, so a dishwasher that leaks overnight is a real problem in a way it isn't for vinyl. Some laminates are rated water-resistant, and that is not the same thing as waterproof.

Right floor for a busy hallway. Wrong floor for a laundry room.

Every flooring install we do carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.

Stairs are the one place a floating floor isn't allowed to float.

Luxury vinyl plank through this North Vancouver home, carried up the staircase. On the flat, this floor sits loose over an underlay and moves as one piece with the seasons. On stairs it cannot do that. Every tread and riser is bonded down solid, and a nosing wraps the front edge of each step.

That nosing is where staircases fail. It takes more traffic than any other surface in the house, it is the part your heel lands on, and one that was glued on and hoped for will lift inside a year.

It is also why stairs take longer per square foot than the whole main floor put together. There is no such thing as a quick staircase.

Every flooring install we do carries a 3-year workmanship warranty.
