Are you going crazy for patterned floors?

It was big news at Milan Furniture Show in April so I'm expecting patterned floors will make an appearance in a few people's home soon.

Are you a patterned floor convert already? What does your floors look like? (Photos are encouraged!)

Sort of...we have tan wall to wall carpet in living/dining area (here when we bought the place and husband does not want hardwood, ugh) and I recently purchased a colorful floral area rug for the living area. Love it! When we were house hunting several years ago in an old Philadelphia neighborhood, we saw a few houses that had patterned floor tiles...so I guess this is another trend coming back?

They're not quite as bright as the ones you posted but the Grosvenor, Archivo, Henley, Berkeley and Francisco Segarra ranges at Topps Tiles (above) are actually really nice and affordable solutions. Was it the patterned nature of the tiles or blue and yellow combination in particular of the ones you posted above that you really loved?

Well, the chippies van was up the drive when I got home from work - a little unexpected. At first I thought that he was sleeping with the Mrs, but then I remembered that he needed to finish the skirting boards. He's done a cracking job - quite a few tricky internal/external corners, plus the corners not being exactly 90 degrees he was back and forth to his saw all the time. He really did a stirling job. It was 13 meters of skirting in total - which took him 4.5 hours in total (over 2 evenings) and it cost me £90. Considering I was origionally going to do it, it could well be the best £90 I've spent on this whole kitchen. I need to get a lick of paint inside the alcove that's pictured. Our little fishtank will be returning in there, but as it's out I may as well do it. When we get the bar stools, and dining room table & chairs I will update again. So: What would I change/add/remove ADD - Somewhere to hang the tea-towels. We have some on the inside of a cuboard, but they keep falling off. Maybe I need some slightly more expensive 'hangers'. The space where they could have gone we put a spice rack/draw thingie - that's probably better though. ADD - We forgot about the bin! Now we have our pedal-bin basically kicking around the kitchen. The Mrs has already filled the cupboards to maximum capacity so I'm having trouble getting an internal cupboard one past her. I think I may just fit one then deal with her later. The bin has gravitated to a semi-perminant place, but with the kids trying to be *cough* helpfull the wall is already beginning to get the odd splatter of 'stuff' where they just throw their food in the general direction of it. Last night I said 'Well, why don't we just put it in the utility room' - She shot that idea down instantly as she obviously isn't happy about the extra 4 steps that it would take to walk all-that-way into another room. Poor thing! Typical woman lol. ADD - At the start of the project I would have got the electricians to chase in another mains wire from the fusebox so that it comes out of the kitchen wall centrally to the back garden, then I would put a PIR Security Light in. I know that it's not a big job by any means, and I could, and probably will, do it myself over the coming weeks but if I could have had it without a wire on the outside of the house then that'd would have been perfect. Also, thinking about it, I would have actually got him to do it at the front of the house as well as he re-wired the whole downstairs with new fusebox etc.

Hi Vicki, I would go for bigger tiles, ones that are 60 cm x 30 cm. If you use smaller tiles the outcome may look too busy with your chosen floor tiles. I also suggest choosing very light grey wall tiles, the colour of which matches to the grey background colour of the floor tiles. That would give you the industrial sort of vibe you are aiming to achive. Order different samples and see how the combinations look in your bathroom. The colours can change dramatically depending on the lighting. Kati

You've got a strong pattern on the rug that isn't currently balanced elsewhere in the room. You might find it helpful to change the wall colour. Do a sample board or ask a designer to do one for you. Off the top of my head try a strong, unsaturated blue like Fired Earth Tempest and pick it up in the soft furnishings or accessories. I agree with Sonia that the TV unit isn't helping, partly because it's conflicting with the curtains and partly because its style is not consistent with the rest of the room. I can't judge the width of the alcove but wall mounting a TV on a bracket is often a good solution, so that it sits flat against the wall when not in use. You could consider building in some storage underneath and painting it a shade that ties in the rug and curtains and balances the floor.
