Hello dear forum members,
I am currently in the process of selecting the flooring for a new single-family house.
Concept so far:
- Basement with entrance area will be fully tiled with anthracite slate, as well as all concrete staircases with masonry balustrades
- Office will have "Turmalin" laminate from Moderna, as will the hobby room
- Utility room standard tiles
- Ground floor dark slate hallway including stairs
- Kitchen and living room fully tiled with wood-look tiles
- Upper floor dark slate hallway
- Children's rooms and bedroom "Nordland Oak" laminate from Moderna
My questions:
1) Due to the solid staircase and the masonry balustrade, the shell construction in the basement and ground floor appears quite dark. By the way, the walls will be completely white.
- With our tile choice, will it be too dark, or will it still look great combined with white walls and ceilings?
2) So far, the staircase is simply tiled. Would it look better to design it with different tiles or even install longer wooden stair treads on top, or is it fine as we plan it? Maybe paint the inner area vertically white as a contrast?
3) Is there a better alternative interior design concept?
4) What do you think about tiling everything completely with Nature Side from Villeroy & Boch? Like Viebrockhaus, Jette Joop life Design... I especially like the entrance area that way. The counterargument is 200 m² (2153 sq ft) of tiles might feel overwhelming?

May I ask what was the reason for your decision to use laminate flooring in the bedroom, children’s room, as well as the office and hobby room?
Do you mean tiles with a wood-look finish? And lastly, is underfloor heating planned?

Well, I might be a bit biased since I really dislike laminate flooring. To me, laminate does not provide any sense of comfort underfoot. For the bedroom and children’s room, I could possibly consider vinyl flooring or cork.
As for the kitchen and living room, does that rule out parquet?
