Game Night Tested, Kid Approved | Why LVP Flooring Wins for Family Fun in Orlando 

Introduction 

Family game nights are more than a tradition—they’re a cornerstone of bonding in a busy world. Whether it’s competitive board games, dance-offs with the kids, or toddlers building towers on the floor, your living space becomes a lively hub of fun, mess, and movement. 

But behind every great game night is a strong foundation—literally. That’s where Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring comes in. Designed to stand up to Florida’s climate and the real-life energy of active families, LVP blends durability, style, and comfort in a way few other flooring materials can match. 

At Harrow Floor Gallery, we help Orlando families design spaces that welcome excitement without fear of damage. Here’s why LVP flooring is the ultimate MVP of family game nights—and how it can transform your home into a low-maintenance fun zone. 

What Makes Game Night Flooring-Ready? 

A living room that hosts game night needs a lot more than charm. It must: 

  • Resist scratches from moving furniture and falling game pieces. 
  • Be waterproof or highly water-resistant in case of spilled drinks or art supplies. 
  • Provide comfort for sitting, crawling, or dancing. 
  • Handle heavy foot traffic and occasional roughhousing. 
  • Look great, because fun should never come at the expense of style. 

LVP flooring checks every one of those boxes—and does it with design versatility that fits any family’s taste. 

What is LVP Flooring, Exactly? 

Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) is a high-performance, synthetic flooring option that mimics the look and texture of hardwood or stone—without the maintenance headaches. 

Here’s what sets it apart: 

  • Multi-layer construction for enhanced strength and resilience 
  • Waterproof core (typically made of WPC or SPC material) 
  • Wear layers designed to resist scratches, stains, and dents 
  • Click-lock installation that floats above the subfloor, ideal for quick remodels 

It’s especially popular in Florida for its ability to handle humidity, temperature swings, and family-friendly chaos. 

Why LVP Flooring Is Perfect for Family Game Night Spaces 

1. It’s Built for Spills and Splashes 

No matter how careful your kids are, drinks get knocked over, and snacks end up everywhere. The waterproof nature of LVP means liquid won’t seep in or warp the planks. 

Bonus: Most LVP planks come with tight, interlocking seams that prevent messes from reaching the subfloor. 

2. It’s Tough on Toys and Furniture 

Dragging a heavy ottoman to make room for floor games? Spinning around in a desk chair? LVP holds up against it all. 

  • Durable wear layers protect the surface from dents and scratches. 
  • High PSI resistance means even concentrated pressure (from chair legs or toy edges) won’t leave permanent marks. 

3. Easy Clean-Up Post-Game 

Game night often ends with a scatter of game pieces, spilled juice, and the need for a quick reset. LVP makes cleaning up effortless: 

  • Sweep or vacuum away crumbs and glitter. 
  • Damp mop with a gentle floor cleaner—no harsh chemicals required. 
  • Stains wipe off easily, even from juice, markers, or muddy shoes. 

4. Comfortable Enough for Hours on the Floor 

Whether your toddler prefers crawling to sitting or the whole family likes to lounge, LVP offers a comfortable underfoot feel. It’s softer than tile and can be installed over padded underlayment for even more cushioning. 

This is especially important during: 

  • Family yoga sessions 
  • Pillow fort building 
  • Long Monopoly battles 

5. Slip-Resistant for Safety 

LVP often comes with textured finishes, making it less slippery than tile or polished wood. It’s a safe surface for running kids and dogs alike—ideal for indoor tag or dance-offs. 

6. Stylish Enough for Guests, Too 

Just because it’s functional doesn’t mean it has to look boring. Harrow Floor Gallery carries a wide range of LVP styles, including: 

  • Rustic oak 
  • Weathered gray 
  • Classic walnut 
  • Stone and marble looks 

So whether your game night room is a cozy den or part of an open-concept living area, your flooring will look as intentional as the rest of your design. 

Florida Climate Approved 

Florida’s climate can be tough on flooring—humidity, storms, and sandy feet are part of daily life. Fortunately, LVP is: 

  • Resistant to swelling or shrinking 
  • Unaffected by UV rays if you choose fade-resistant options 
  • Easy to clean after beach days or pool time 

This makes it a year-round solution, especially in homes where indoor and outdoor living spaces blend together. 

How to Design a Game-Ready Room with LVP 

Thinking of turning your living room, den, or bonus room into a family fun zone? Here are tips to enhance the effect: 

  • Go with wider planks for a modern, seamless look. 
  • Use rugs strategically for extra coziness around sitting areas or game tables. 
  • Install matching baseboards for a clean finish. 
  • Choose light to mid-tone colors to hide dust and crumbs between cleanings.
