I am in the middle of redoing an entire (supposedly Edwardian house, from what I can tell, don’t have an actual build date on paper) and am stuck with flooring ideas for the ground floor!
Upstairs is tiled bathroom with carpet in bedrooms and landings and painted wooden stairs with runner in the middle.
But what to do on the ground floor?
Have you done anything similar recently? So confusing!
Having concreted the entire ground floor when the extension was being done, and installed under floor heating everywhere, do I put down one floor all over, and then what one?
Or do I go tiles in the hallway and the engineer wood in the living area? Mind, I have open plan living sitting/dining/kitchen and not keen on the divisions between different types of floors.
I know people say put tiles on under floor heating as best properties but the only ones I like (posh wood look) seem so expensive! Also hubby not too keen on them as he thinks tiles are hard and will break either anything we drop on them or the actual tile
I love the look of parquet flooring but I know no installer is keen on them so will work out quite expensive.
Due to open plan living set up I would prefer one floor all over, not just kitchen tiled and wood elsewhere.
The best properties I love are in fact are posh vinyl floors. I am being stupid? We put the “real wood” looking in the last Victorian property and it looked so good that no one believed it wasn’t real wood and people actually went face down to floor and stroked the floor haha
Or ideally, is there parquet “easy lay” in vinyl? No individual planks mind you as would lose husband over that!
Please help!
