ᐅ Should the hallway and the living/dining area have the same flooring?

Good evening,

We are currently planning the flooring for our living/dining area and are wondering whether it looks better if the hallway and living/dining area have the same flooring, or if it is more attractive to have two different types of flooring. I imagine it looks more harmonious with the same flooring‍♀️ The tiles for the hallway are included in the price, but we would like vinyl for the living/dining area.

It's all just a matter of taste ;-)

That's how it is. Continuous flooring throughout creates a more spacious impression, and you really have to like PVC for yourself.

Or both: use the same material throughout but change the color tone, size, and/or (but only a maximum of two of these three) the installation direction.

Hello,
we have the same considerations (although it’s still too early) but just the other way around – everything is the same.
We would prefer to install wooden plank flooring everywhere, but the question is whether tiles make more sense in the hallway/entrance area, since there is a higher risk of dirt and damage there.
The tiles in the entrance area are included in the offer, but they can of course be removed.
By the way:
We currently have PVC/vinyl flooring in our (temporary) rental apartment, and we don’t like it at all; it’s not that durable either.
Regards, Olli

I just had the idea to use wood-look tiles instead of vinyl. The floor will be comfortably warm anyway because of the underfloor heating. I don’t think it’s a bad idea at all. Especially considering that you might sometimes bring groceries into the kitchen with shoes on, or eventually have a dog running around. Tiles would probably be easier to maintain in that case, I believe.
