Hallway flooring

[Tulipstar13]

Hi,
I have a 1930s-50s home that is being renovated, do you think this type of floor would look odd in it? It's Amtico, never had any experience of it. So any advice would be appreciated.

Also thinking of putting it in hallway only as I eventually want to redo my kitchen and create a kitchen diner but have no idea when that will be yet (funds dependant).

Any opinions welcome :)

I love that Amtico - it's Victorian/Edwardian in style though. I got some samples and it's bespoke so the design fits your space, which means it costs something like £165psm.

I love that design. I can imagine the price would be eye watering though.

For your age of property would a parquet design be more in keeping (and cheaper). I know Karndean do a a parquet.

I'm not sure what the difference between Karndean and amtico is - so might be missing the point entirely.

Amtico do one too.

Again apologies if I'm missing the point of what you're looking for.

I have a 30s house. I have just had my hall flooring done. I went for a parquet, with a border in Harvey Maria, Fumed Oak. I'd have lived something like your pictures, but I felt it was the wrong style for the house.

I love the floor. It's not cold, not too hard and very hard wearing. Very pleased indeed! I'll attach a picture of my favourite feature.... Its the curve that matches the stair curve!

The colour isn't quite right in that photo, it's not as orange IRL

It's beautiful - we had Amtico in our bathrooms when we moved in.

Bonus was that it was softer underfoot and much "warmer" than tiles. Less echo/noise, too.

Bad news was that it was like an ice rink when even slightly wet - which was a bit of a design flaw in a bathroom!

We ended up changing it after a few bad slips/falls.

Maybe they have updated it now, though? ( It was over 10 years ago) If they have, I'd definitely choose a "non-slip" surface!

Watching with interest as also have a 50s house and want to do something with the hallway. Much as I love the Victorian tile look, it would be completely out of keeping with the rest of the house.

I desperately want to get rid of the carpet we currently have and replace it with something that's easier to keep clean, not least because we have dogs. But because we have dogs I don't want something that will be too slippy for the oldies. 🤷‍♀️

A parquet in LVT - luxury vinyl tile - would probably be more fitting in a house of that age. Amtico, Karndean, Polyflor, Vusta, Harvey Maria and others are all LVT. For a hall you want a decent wear layer. That's the clear layer on top of the pattern which protects it.

LVT is expensive to have fitted and the floor must be absolutely level - this is usually achieved with a screed on a solid floor and with ply and a feather screed on floorboards. We have it several rooms in our house and it's very easy to clean and needs virtually no maintenance.

It's a lovely design but I too feel it's a little bit wrong for the age of the house.

If you plan to sell in the near future then it might put people off. On the other hand if you love it m, go for it.
