7 years ago

Porcelain versus ceramic versus natural stone?
We want the same tile for the floor and that includes an en-suite bathroom and a kitchen.
It is a renovation project.

Engineered wood flooring is fine over the top of under floor heating, you just have to buy the right stuff, here's an article on that subject:- Solid wood flooring company Maybe it's a blessing in disguise, as i think that tiles in the formal room would have been too much. Plus you've got the grout to keep clean and that's a lot of flooring. Maybe you could look into Karndean or other LVT products ( Luxury Vinyl Flooring ). No grout and you can have it look like tiles or wood.

Hi. sounds like you have some fab times ahead :) I agree with Jonathan that the scale maybe slightly out so that is worth looking at. If you wanted a few fresh ideas.. and to scale, it may be worth considering a concept planner. Our layout packages (for example) are all shown in 3D with virtual tours. It is well worth it to be able to see how the space works and how it all fits together. I think for me, your layout depends on the style (or look) you are trying to achieve. I can see the open space in the middle working really well as a design feature in the right house design but definitely think the space can be better utilised to suit your needs. I would also suggest starting to add some images to your ideas books. This will give us a better idea of the style and will also help you to get to know your own style a little better. If you need any help with this please do drop me a message and I can send you some pointers. All the best, Gina

Hi Hannah, as Dee mentioned above, if you shift the staircase over to the left or right, you will be able to have a double door opening into you beautiful new KLD (Kitchen, Lounge Dinner) which will be a lot more impactfull than having the two seperate doors. However, as I am sure that you are aware, whatever you do with the stairs downstairs will have a large impact on the layout upstairs. Wishing you the best of luck and should you want any help please get in touch.
