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 🙂 )

What size are the other rooms in your house?

255cm (100 inches) is only 10cm (4 inches) above the standard.

I looked at a house with children's rooms also around 12m² (130ft²).
The 265cm (104 inches) ceiling height was a dream.
I found the rooms felt more spacious, hmm.

Nowhere is it narrower than the guest WC. And it is still considerably wider than your hallway. ;-)

Besides, we are satisfied with the room proportions; the other rooms are irrelevant.

It was not meant as an attack.

The other rooms can definitely remain private.
