Hi guys, first post here.

I just moved into a new place nearby Hongdae, but the flooring is a yellow mess. To make my living a bit more comfortable, I've decided to redo the flooring and possible the walls as well.

Now, does anyone know if there's a store nearby the area (Hapjeong to Ewha) that sells this stuff? Either actual hardwood or those faux wooden sheets made out of rubber.

Kind of sucks since I'm used to going to Home Depot back home.

But anyhoo, thanks in advance!

They are all over, but the Bangsan Market is priced well, usually. Google it. Get more than one estimate. If you are here a year, do not get wood. It is all fake in the range you will be spending, and crazy overpriced, while of horrible quality. Go with a cheap vinyl that is not the thinnest.

Euljiro 4-ga station. The store named 동화벽지 had good prices. His name is 한유봉. phone 010-5520-8258. Doesn't speak much English, but seemed to listen somewhat to it. He is located right outside of and fairly close to one of the subway exits....
might have been 6, or maybe 3? You will want to use Korean, or bring someone who can translate.
