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. 😉
Thanks in advance.

We decided to use tiles throughout the ground floor because of our dog and toddler, as we couldn’t find a suitable transition between parquet and tiles. In hindsight, we regret not choosing polished and sealed screed. That would have been another option, although it wouldn’t have saved any money.

Of course, I know there are fans of this, like Rick (!?) where it actually fits the overall project, but in a typical home, I can’t envision it being “cozy and comfortable” by any stretch. At least I imagine sealed screed mainly for my garage, and that’s how I’ll do it. That’s enough for me 😉
Yes, I’m aware there are various “sealing qualities,” but no, not for the living room 🙂

Something was also done poorly regarding the sealing; after the glass walls were cleaned, the screed showed streaks everywhere where the water dripped on it. Just because it’s concrete doesn’t automatically make it a durable surface.
I think there’s no obvious dividing line between tiles and parquet in your floor plan. I wouldn’t change the flooring under the table; if anywhere, I would do it after the dining table. Or in the kitchen area, just a very narrow strip of tiles, about half a meter (20 inches) or so.

The vulnerability of hardwood flooring in the kitchen area is often greatly overestimated. Especially in the kitchen, people tend to clean up immediately after making a mess, so the risk of liquids sitting for a long time is much lower.
And oil is actually beneficial for the wood 😉
