Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for your advice. We are currently deciding which flooring to install in our open-plan living area. It is certain that we want tiles in the kitchen and hardwood flooring in the living area. However, we are unsure where to separate these two sections.

- Idea 1: A dividing line at the recessed wall, but the problem is that by the kitchen window there would be both tiles and hardwood
- Idea 2: Tiles in an L-shape around the kitchen, extending 1.20 m (4 feet) from the wall

Which option do you think is better, or do you have any other suggestions? Changing the floor plan or similar modifications are not possible. 😉
Floor plan: Living and kitchen area with sofa, dining table, and chairs.


Thanks in advance.

That looks really funny. Although I would probably keep tripping over it because my depth perception goes crazy.
Where exactly would you trip? It’s level. Probably the tile would need to be different for you, so without the 3D effect 😉

Yes, I was referring purely to the visual impression that the brain thinks the foot has to compensate, but it actually doesn’t, and sooner or later the floor appears earlier than expected = tripping...

Believe it or not, you can teach children to take off their shoes before walking from the terrace into the living room.
You can also teach children not to push toy cars over the living room floor or the expensive dining table until they create a 5mm (0.2 inch) deep dent.

We even dared to teach our daughter not to run or bounce on the hopping ball in the kitchen...
