Open Plan Flooring - What direction looks best?
Q
Comments (9)
I think perhaps it may be best to be pragmatic with the flooring based on the actual space. For instance, we've had Amtico flooring in wide planks put down in our kitchen. The perfect choice would have been to run them vertically from the door. However, being an older house, the walls aren't all at right angles to each other and it would have been highlighted by the planks. So we decided on diagonally, moving away from the door to draw the eye into the room, however, because of some odd shaped steps on an angle, it would have meant that once again there would be odd slivers of plank. In the end, we had the planks running diagonally towards the steps, so there were no awkward slivers of plank anywhere. Personally, I think it's resulted in a much more interesting floor. So I would opt for the first option - diagonally, which may prove to be easier in the smaller spaces like the bathroom, which may be difficult to lay at right angles to the walls and make a much more interesting floor..

@Jonathan I agree the house does have potential. The reason for bringing the porch or entrance forward is currently when you enter the house the stairs are very close and I just want that space and more of an open feeling. I would like the arch shape entrance in this picture rather than the style of porch that it is currently. I’m hoping this can work. @Emily unfortunately that can’t be bought forward as a lot of other work is going to be carried out extending at the back. That bathroom will be made into an en-suite as it’s tiny and that will link to master bedroom. I am really liking the stone colour around the windows and arch and I’m thinking of that as an option, just wondering how to achieve this.

Simplyfy, Simplyfy, Simplyfy, Unify the window wall by using say an off white shabby chic Venetian blind full width, or curtain rail full width and parking the curtain over the full right hand wall, possibly curving the rail down the left wall to park that side portion. Or better still do both. Both must be floor to ceiling. The Venetian can be kept above the rad in the winter. Keep finishes and colours light, simple and only 2 main ones, otherwise its too fussy. Lighting definitely low. Beds on left with small bedside cabinet.shelf to right and table light to wash the curtains. Light textured not patterned curtains. Or ditto in centre, but corner light works best as it does 2 walls. No more light needed. Paint: soft white, durable absolute mat, not glossy as currently. Same colour but satin for all joinery. The window wall is too messy to pull out as a colour. Rug: off white, textured, and hiding a lot of the floor. If the flooring is real wood with hard wax finish, overcoat with a whitening finish. Lightly hand sand it and overcoat with a partially white pigmented Osmo waxoil, to get rid of its harshness. Experiment first. Light stalk and rug: remove, too contrasty. The picture immediately above shows how such unification and simplification makes a small room work, but a central hanging light will ruin it at night.. Option: get a bed head in matching fabric, high enough to cover the cill, and pull the bed forward to let the heat out. This will simplify.

Wooden flooring or Amtico wood look flooring
Q

If considering wood you could get unfinished wood installed. Companies such as Wood Floor Accessories are a great supplier. Having it finished on site means a finish can be picked that works for your home. Each home has variables such as pets, different traffic and the owners desire to maintain the flooring or aversion to maintenance. Having wood finished on site has advantages. You can pick the highest quality product that works for your budget. The range of finishes available is quite wide. A professional company will try to understand your home and recommend the appropriate finish. They will also understand how easily the finish was can be renovated in the future. Amtico is an extremely robust product but being plastic, is just plastic flooring. It has its place, as does wood. In areas that have plenty of light surfaces, scratches show very easily on Amtico, Karndean etc. The manufacturers push a polishing maintenance product on consumers. However, this needs to be stripped and reapplied on a regular basis.
