Hallway with patterned tiles or wooden flooring?

last year

I’m struggling to work out what to do with the hallway in my 1930s house. I love the look of patterned tiled hallways but for various reasons to do with the UFH can’t use LVT like Amtico glue down tiles and so would have to go for porcelain tiles (style below is current favourite) or could just stick with wooden floors like the rest of the ground floor. I’m worried porcelain tiles will show the dirt and be much colder/harder compared to wood? Would love others’ thoughts and experiences!

The patterned tiles are lovely, but more suited to victorian properties I feel. If you want a hard-wearing floor, how about wood effect porcelain tiles?

Hi Michelle, Do you have any photos of the rooms and tiles? It would definitely help visualise the project a bit more! :)

Hi I'm in the process of buying a property which has wood effect tiles too in the kitchen and hall. I have opted to have Karndean flooring in my lounge which also opens up to the garden so I didn't want carpet. They come in many styles so maybe have a look at these? I have chosen one around £25per sq m which is the cheapest range. They are basically VInyl planks that get glued to your floor. Easy to clean and you don't have to worry about water warping the planks. Hope his helps

Hello Robin, No need to remove anything just add a huge mirror on the right hand wall with some height as I suggested earlier in the thread, then you will get a border reflected and also the arch! It is quite important to work with what you have, and you can cleverly with the oversized mirror! eBay have a shop for them! Once you paint frame to match the walls you will see how useful it could be. Possibly 8ft by 8ft as high as you can go to get the arch in! It's what I would do.. :))

That's interesting colourhappy - we did omit the aqua tiles and put just the taupe with blanco (which has some grey tones in the variations) but it looked a little bland which is why we thought the aqua might liven it up but now I'm thinking you are right and they are too cool for the flagstones.

Yes I suppose I was thinking more for those times when the UFH isn’t on!

My sister has porcelain tiles with UFH and it really is cosy. It’s great in the summer when the heating is off as it’s nice and cool underfoot.
