Hello everyone,
please share photos of your entrance area, especially the flooring.
We want a consistent look and plan to install mainly oak parquet flooring.
Of course, we need tiles as well, but as little as possible.
So, the utility room and bathrooms will have tiles, and probably the entrance area too.
This is the tricky part.
I want the hallway (6.3 m (20.7 ft) long and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) wide) to appear as little like a narrow corridor as possible.
Do you have any tips?
My idea was to tile only half of the entrance area to visually shorten the hallway or to create a visual stop there.
Attached is the floor plan with some markings to highlight the essentials.
(Otherwise it’s a bit overwhelming to look at 🙂 )

We don’t want a door.
Hmm, I think having hardwood flooring in the entrance is annoying.
If you tile the hallway, then you get that awkward transition to the rooms again.
I’m not sure if it looks odd to tile only half of the entrance.So what should you do then? 🙂 Door is not ideal, hardwood is annoying, tiles look strange—you really have to decide what you want...

A very narrow, long corridor will just remain a very narrow, long corridor.
EDIT: I only just noticed that the entrance door is at the top in the picture, not the door on the left. I don’t find that bad at all. The corridor really only starts after you turn right towards Child 1 and 2.
At the entrance, in my opinion, it won’t feel like a corridor.

But do you actually want to have tiles in the “hose section” or not?
I’ll refer you again to the laying direction. ;-)
Maybe you can also do something with the color on the wall or lower the ceiling height (I don’t remember exactly how high it was); our guest toilet also feels quite narrow and tall in relation (at 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) deep, 3 meters (9.8 feet) long, and 2.55 meters (8.4 feet) high).
