Turning your home negative into a positive
When you spend an extensive amount of time indoors, you can quickly grow tired of your home. Certain smaller aspects of it may become irritating, and a little motivation to make changes could greatly enhance its appearance. Almost everyone who has been confined within the same four walls for nearly a year feels a strong urge to bring about a radical change.
Accepting that change needs to happen is always the first step in the successful transformation of the home environment. By starting where you take your first steps and changing your flooring, you have the perfect base to build happiness on. This is where Luvanto luxury vinyl flooring becomes your best new investment in the home.

A New Look
Luxury vinyl flooring is a popular option for people who enjoy bringing nature within. Its dark and light wood variants are ideal for adding a little additional character to your house.
The vast quantity and qualities of ranges available are indistinguishable from real hardwood or stone – and much cheaper and easier to install and maintain. Those who choose vinyl planks or tiles for their homes have embraced the chance to work on a small DIY project while cooped up inside on a wet day, giving them a new hobby and a sense of accomplishment in the home’s redesign.
Cheaper
Individual planks and tiles from Luvanto ranges are an incredibly cheap alternative to real wood or stone, which also can wear and chip throughout the years.
The key difference between these options lies in the fact that vinyl flooring offers superior resistance to damage, thanks to its multiple designed preventive safeguards. Vinyl floors rarely require replacement, but if they do, the process is straightforward and doesn’t disrupt the rest of the floor. Any individual tile or plank can be easily cut, disposed of, and removed without generating any waste, making it a hassle-free task.
As an eco-conscious product, it is not manufactured with harmful ingredients that will cause health issues if disturbed.

Cleaning
The greatest benefit of vinyl flooring is the time and money it will save you in maintaining it. You don’t need expensive stain treatment solutions or hours of scrubbing on your LVT because of its anti-stain and anti-scratch qualities.
Additionally, moisture-resistant layers come into play, making it possible to clean quickly with just a quick mop and warm, soapy water combined with white vinegar to maintain a constant appearance and shine all year long and pose a risk to your flooring.
If you want some positive change in your house, start from the ground up and choose the Luvanto luxury vinyl flooring range.

![[AD] The sun has finally made an appearance and the boys have been making the most of it by spending it
in the garden.
They’re go-to is always football and they’ve been trying to improve their aim and accuracy with the new Messi Foldable Footlball goal from the #MessiTrainingSystem range.
I love the fact the goal is foldable, making it easy to store away when not in use. It is also lightweight so you can effortlessly pack it up and take it to the park or to a friend’s house.
The Messi Foldable Football Goal retails at £36 and can be purchased from @argos

I am fortunate to be surrounded by strong, powerful women in the form of my mum, sister and mother-in-law (along with many others). With Mother’s Day just around the corner, @BootsUK want to celebrate all the different mums and mother figures we are lucky enough to have in our lives. They have a huge range of Mother’s Day gifts to choose from so we can show them how much they mean to us. (swipe to take a look at some of my choices)
If you want to express love and appreciation for the mother figure(s) in your life, head to Boots.com to find the ideal gift. They have a whole host of gifts, so you can be sure to find something to suit all tastes. Celebrate the #LoveForAllMums this Mother’s Day with Boots.
