Kitchen and downstairs bathroom flooring

[msfreud]

I've just bought a Victorian terraced house with a downstairs bathroom after the kitchen - there's a small lobby area in between where the door to the garden is. (Downstairs bathroom is staying downstairs btw, that was the compromise to get 3 bedrooms.)

Currently the whole area (kitchen/lobby/bathroom) has the same tiling on the floor with no tresholds in between. I think having different flooring in the bathroom and in the lobby/kitchen area would make them feel more like separate rooms - at the moment it feels a bit like the bath and loo are in the kitchen! But I can't quite visualise how this would look and what I should choose.

I would love Devon Stone style tiles for the bathroom floor - probably these.

The kitchen will be a rustic painted pine kitchen with rustic pine worktops, probably units painted in F&B Teresa's Green or a similar light blue/duck egg shade and white walls. So what should I put on the floor? The whole house will have a sort of rustic/bohemian look so nothing too shiny or modern...

We have the same as you - and have one type of flooring throughout. It needs replacing, but I am going for the same all the way through again. Tbh its for practical purposes - one whizz round the lot woth the vac/broom/mop and im done. It changes to wood in the living room and I hate the tread inbetween - stuff just seems to get stuck around it.

I also think it makes the spaces feel bigger as theres no rigid boundary around the kitchen or bathroom when the doors are open.

I know a lot of people dont like bathrooms downstairs or off kitchens but I have to say I love it.

Interesting... I can see the making it look bigger issue when it is continuous. I guess the Devon tiles I like would go well with the kitchen too. Decisions, decisions...

This is my first downstairs bathroom and so far it's ok. It's not very pretty at the moment (old magnolia paint flaking off the walls, ugly cheap taps, stained grouting etc.) but I think it will be nice when it's all done up my way.
