ᐅ Flooring in the Hallway – Vinyl, Tiles, or Granite?

Hello everyone,

We are now reaching the stage of the build involving the flooring, or at least it’s time to start thinking about it. For the living area, bedroom, and office, we have chosen wood-look vinyl, but we’re still unsure about the hallway.

My partner would like a stone-look floor in the hallway, but none of the vinyl or laminate options we’ve seen so far really appealed to either of us. Now I’m considering whether we should go with real tiles or granite instead. The problem there is the difficulty of making changes or repairs later on if something gets damaged.

Has anyone faced the same dilemma, and what decision did you make? Who has a stone-look vinyl floor in their home and hasn’t regretted it?

Best regards,
Michael

I would like to disagree with Fußkalt—for now. I am waiting to see how autumn develops.

No need to argue, as this is purely a subjective experience. Still, tiles always feel colder than wood, vinyl, or carpet.

I definitely didn’t want them throughout the entire house – for me, it’s also about coziness, which I never get with tiles.

We previously had tiles in the living and dining rooms – never again. My parents have tiles everywhere on the ground floor – I never liked that.

My personal impression: cold to the touch on the feet (tested at room temperature around 24°C (75°F)) and hard, causing an uncomfortable feeling when walking. Still, we installed tiles in the ground-floor hallway, utility room, and bathrooms, and we will definitely be able to live well with them. At the same time, I’m very glad not to have tiles in the other rooms.
