Flooring for a busy hallway

The number of occupants of your house should inform the choices you make for hallway flooring. In particular, for both young children and elderly occupants, you want to avoid slippery or hard surfaces to minimise the risk of injury in the case of a fall. In addition to this, if you have a household with young children, you may want easy-to-clean flooring, or opt for additional stain-guarding on carpets.
