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.

Hello,
we have the same considerations (even though it’s still early), just the opposite – everything else is the same.
We would prefer to install country-style floorboards everywhere, but the question is whether tiles might be more practical 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 also be removed if needed.
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 very durable either.
Best regards, Olli Why is it still too early?! The foundation slab will only be done in the next few weeks, but I am already thinking about everything. Sampling appointments start from the end of January, so I would like to have a plan by then 🙂

We haven't even submitted the building permit / planning permission yet. Everything is delayed because of those stupid viruses. Olli Oh, I see... well, fortunately, everything has already been approved on our end. I hope everything will start on time. But you can still consider the soil conditions even without a building permit / planning permission.Please forget about vinyl. It’s delicate, smells bad, feels unpleasant, and looks cheap. Really the worst flooring option after laminate. Better to choose wood-look tiles or floorboards.
Whether to use the same flooring throughout or to mix depends on the floor plan. If it’s very open, using the same flooring makes sense. If the rooms are more separated, mixing can work better. Both have their advantages.

Hello,
We once had wood-look tiles in a rental apartment too, and I actually thought they were pretty cool – unfortunately, my wife didn’t feel the same way. 🙁
They’re durable, look good, and don’t feel cold with underfloor heating.
It’s definitely an option, but here it still requires some discussion... 😎

I just thought about using wood-look tiles instead of vinyl. The floor will be pleasantly warm anyway because of the underfloor heating.Is that really the case? I’ve read that in new buildings, underfloor heating doesn’t emit enough heat to feel warm underfoot.
