As the image has been supplied by the manufacturer, we unfortunately are unable to confirm which colour grout has been used with these tiles. Looking through a grout swatch we have here though, a Sandstone colour works very well with the Aliso tiles.

We have recently fitted wood effect vinyl click flooring in a number of kitchens & bathrooms by Moduleo. They are a great alternative to tiles & are suitable for UFH. You can see examples of this product in both 'Livesey' & 'Chepstow' kitchens on our profile. Porcelain wood effect tiles are very popular & there a some stunning examples available, we have sourced a selection from both Spain & Italy. If you require any samples please don't hesitate to contact us.

Oh dear, I hope your company didn't lay them... The problems are legion, but the most striking mistake is in the layout. The tiles do not follow the line of the stairs, nor are they symmetrical. This will ALWAYS make the hall look lopsided. When you add in the colour scheme and lack of other period features, the owners have a problem. Are these encaustic tiles? The colour is far from traditional for a hallway and as others have said- more suited for a bathroom/utility room. If they are encaustic, why not move them to the garden and make a Mediterranean courtyard? The hall can then be inviting rather than blinding.

Whilst I recognise there's a few tradespeople on here bemoaning fussy clients I have to say my biggest regrets when renovating my house was not being specific enough with trades! We had an electrician put in an extra light switch in the hall to control both the downstairs and upstairs lighting. He put it in a good 10-15cm lower than the other switch further along the same wall which looked completely ridiculous. Made him move it in line with the other one much to his annoyance. Another similar incident was with a vertical column rad for the kitchen - whilst I was specific enough this time to ask it be centered to the wall it was on, he installed it much higher than needed with about 30cm of pipe sticking out the bottom! It would have looked much better in line with the doorframe adjacent. Had to learn to live with that one. We had engineered wood floors put in upstairs - the fitter used the shortest wall in the smallest room to take a plumbline from. When it came into the hall it was obviously on a complete wonk. By this point I'd gotten a bit better at speaking up and ensuring we actually got what was needed (and paid for!). He had to take it up and re-lay using the hall as the plumbline. Looked so much better but he was extremely annoyed! After all this I learned to use masking tape to direct exactly where pipes/light switches/trim should be fitted so there was no room for 'interpretation'. I also forced myself to speak up more and advocate for what I really wanted. That said I'm a designer by trade so I generally know what I want and how to make it look good but was definitely a bit too shy to contradict trades in the beginning!

Wood effect porcelain tiles for the whole downstairs - yes or no?

We have our open plan kitchen/dining/living room in wood effect tiles and the front sitting room in real wood. I wouldn’t want a cosy sitting room to be tiled in the UK, personally. UFH is great but doesn’t quite compensate for the look and feel of a naturally warmer surface and also you can’t use thick rugs without compromising the UFH effectiveness. Equally, I’m so glad we didn’t put real wood in our main room, given the amount that gets dropped on it. Hallway is also tiled, again wood would have got trashed there.
