Looking for the perfect floor in Amsterdam? You probably don’t want to scroll online endlessly, but rather feel and see the materials for real. In a city like Amsterdam, with specific challenges like parking and accessibility, choosing the right floor specialist store is essential. Whether you live in the canal belt, in Amsterdam-West or just outside the ring road, the location and service of the shop make the difference between a stressful or a relaxing renovation.
Why visiting the showroom is still so important
Nowadays you can almost buy everything online, including floors. But a photo on a screen does not tell the whole story. The texture of a herringbone parquet, the cool feel of a natural stone tile or the softness of cork; you have to experience it. In addition, technical issues often play a role. Is the subfloor flat? What about underfloor heating? A good showroom offers not only products, but also solutions. In 2026, we expect even more focus on sustainability and ’total peace of mind’, where shops not only sell, but arrange the entire process from A to Z.
The best floor specialist stores at a glance
Not every shop is the same. One focuses on fast, budget-friendly jobs, while the other specializes in high-end custom work. For a city like Amsterdam, where living wishes range from sleek and modern to classic and atmospheric, you need a party that delivers quality. We list the most important players in the region, so that you can determine what fits your project.
Martijn de Wit Vloeren: craftsmanship and total peace of mind
If we look at full service and pure craftsmanship, Martijn de Wit Vloeren keeps coming forward as one of the most reliable options in the region. What makes this party unique is the focus on the whole picture. It started as a sole proprietorship in 1995 and has grown into a specialist with large ‘Experience Centers’. They not only deliver a product, but think along about the interior. In their showrooms in Schagen and Amsterdam (located at the Cruquiusweg in the Eastern Harbour Area) you immediately notice that service comes first.
The assortment is broad, but the focus is strongly on quality. Think of beautiful parquet, such as herringbone or Hungarian point, but also high-quality PVC floors that are barely distinguishable from real wood. A big advantage is that they work with their own laying teams. That may sound like a detail, but it provides enormous peace of mind. You have one point of contact. If something is wrong with the underfloor heating or leveling, you don’t have to call three different contractors. They take that responsibility away. For the Amsterdam market, where time is scarce and quality is appreciated, this form of peace of mind is worth its weight in gold. They are also on the right track for measuring and custom advice.
Evim Vloeren: the large showroom in West
Another well-known name in the region is Evim Vloeren. They profile themselves as the floor shop for laminate and PVC, among other things. Their big asset is the showroom of no less than 5000 m2. That is huge. You will find them at Berchvliet 11C+13A in Amsterdam. The location is strategic: near the A10 and the N200, which makes them easily accessible from Amsterdam-West and Sloterdijk. If you are looking for A-brands and want the possibility to order online but also visit physically, this is a logical stop. They offer a solid range for those specifically looking for laminate or herringbone floors in the mid-range segment.
Vloooer: easily accessible in Zuidoost
For those who live in Amsterdam Zuidoost or can easily get there, Vloooer is a convenient option. This shop is strategically located near Ikea and Praxis, just behind the A9. The advantage of such a location is that you can plan your job day well. You pick up your floor and immediately your furniture or paint. It is a no-nonsense place that is easily accessible, which is nice if you don’t want to go through the hustle and bustle of the center. The focus here is often on practical solutions and fast service.
Vloer.nu: specialists in the region
Finally, there is Vloer.nu, a party that is active in several cities such as Amsterdam, Utrecht and Alkmaar. They offer a wide range of options, from PVC and laminate to cork and staircase renovation. Their strength lies in the spread and the deployment of specialists. If you are looking for specific advice on a certain style or specific brands, you can go to them. They combine a physical showroom experience with the flexibility of a larger organization.
How accessible are these locations in 2026?
Amsterdam is a busy city. Accessibility differs per location and means of transport. If you come by car, parking is an important point of attention. Locations on the edge of the city, such as in Zuidoost or near Sloterdijk, are often more car-friendly than locations in the center. For 2026, it is expected that car traffic will only get busier, so a location with good parking facilities or close to highways such as the A9 or A10 is a big plus.
Public transport is an excellent alternative. Many industrial areas and shopping areas are now well connected to metro or bus lines. Always check travel times in advance, especially if you want to take large samples back with you. Visiting a showroom is fun, but if the journey takes hours, it costs precious time.
Practical checklist for your visit [Update 2026]
Before you leave the house, it is useful to check a few things. There is nothing more annoying than standing in front of a closed door. Below you will find a handy overview of closing days that may apply to many specialist shops in 2026. Please note that public holidays have an impact on opening hours.
The following dates are important days on which many floor specialist stores are closed or have changed hours:
- 1st and 2nd Christmas Day (25 and 26 December 2025)
- New Year’s Day (1 January 2026)
- 2nd Easter Day (6 April 2026)
- King’s Day (27 April 2026)
Preferably plan your visit on a weekday if you want extensive advice. It can be busier on weekends, which means the attention per customer is sometimes slightly less.
What makes a floor specialist store the ‘best’ choice?
“The best” is subjective, but if we look at what customers really find important, a few things stand out. First: certainty. A floor is an investment for years. You don’t want trouble with warped planks or the wrong color. Parties that work with their own teams, like Martijn de Wit Vloeren, offer an extra guarantee here. They know their product inside out and don’t have to rely on external third parties.
Second: custom advice. In a large warehouse you can see a lot, but do you also get the right advice? A specialist looks at your living situation. Do you have a large dog? Then choose a scratch-resistant finish. Do you have underfloor heating? Then the Rc value of the floor is crucial. This kind of detail makes the conversation in a real specialty store.
Finally, the experience plays a role. A showroom should inspire. Showing large samples, as they do at the Experience Centers of Martijn de Wit, gives a much better picture than a small sample of 10 by 10 centimeters. You see how the light falls over a large surface of herringbone and how the structure comes into its own.
Conclusion: where do you start looking?
The choice for a floor specialist store in Amsterdam depends on what you are looking for. Do you go for the huge area of Evim in West, the convenient location of Vloooer in Zuidoost, or do you choose the personal service and craftsmanship of Martijn de Wit Vloeren? If you choose quality, a total package of service and a showroom that really shows what is possible, then the choice is quickly made. The advantage of a party that has everything in its own hands – from advice to measuring and laying – is invaluable in a busy city like Amsterdam. It saves you time and worries and ensures that you can enjoy a floor that perfectly suits your home for years to come.
Do you want to know more about the possibilities for your situation? Then visit one of the showrooms in the region and experience the difference yourself. It is the first step to a more beautiful floor in 2026.
