Interior & Exterior Flooring: Choosing the Perfect Material for Every Space in Your Florida Home
Before choosing new floors, chances are you’ve scrolled through Pinterest boards, flooring trends on Instagram, or home decor magazines. You’ve probably thought: “That’s the floor I want!”


But here’s the thing — not every beautiful floor fits every type of space. Choosing the right material means knowing the differences between interior and exterior flooring, especially in a place like Southwest Florida where climate and traffic conditions matter.
At Benji Floor Covering, we help homeowners across Naples, Fort Myers, and beyond make smart flooring decisions that last and look amazing.
✅ 1. Finish Matters More Than You Think

Polished, shiny surfaces work great indoors. They reflect light, make spaces feel bigger, and pair beautifully with modern interior décor.
For outdoor spaces like patios, balconies, or pool areas, go for matte finishes. They’re non-slip, absorb less heat, and maintain a rustic, natural look perfect for Florida’s sun-drenched environment.
✅ 2. Materials Must Match the Environment
Some materials are just made for certain settings.
- Indoors: polished porcelain, hardwood, vinyl planks
- Outdoors: natural stone, textured tile, non-slip ceramic
“The floor you install inside might not survive outside — especially in our tropical, high-humidity climate.”
We help our clients match the right material to their space, design taste, and durability needs.
✅ 3. Usage and Foot Traffic are Key

Here’s a mistake we see often: choosing floors meant for low-traffic areas and placing them in busy spots like entryways or patios.
That leads to:
- Premature wear and tear
- Cracks and stains
- Wasted time and money
Whether it’s your living room or your lanai, we’ll help you select floors that not only look great but also hold up under pressure.
