6. Vinyl or laminate planks

This is, for sure, one of the easiest ways to change your flooring. Installing laminate planks or vinyl ones is cheap and simple. And even more importantly, they are incredible practitioners. You can install them over wood flooring or even on top of low-pile carpets.

Both are installed using the same method, which involves locking and snapping the planks together using their interlocking tongue and groove mechanism.

If you plan to put the plank over the carpet, you can use plywood over the carpet first to make the installation surface more sturdy. In terms of performance, appearance, and price, vinyl and laminate flooring options are more affordable than hardwood.

If you want to purchase peel-and-stick carpet tiles, these ones that you can find on Amazon are a great choice: Self Adhesive Carpet Tile
