I love your use of cork flooring here

7 years ago

Is this large sheets or tiles? do you remember what type? I'd love to use cork but worry I'd choose the wrong type and the whole house will look 70's naff!

@ Martha Gavin : It comes in a few types, I need to look up the supplier. This colour is "natural" in tiles, but when you join them, they are no gaps between. Its the second job we have done with cork tiles, you can seal them nicely in the bathroom, I think they are very nice to walk on.

Thanks very much, I've been wanting to try them for years! Have you used them on stairs ?

Thanks for your help and advice- all really useful and helping me sort the confusion of what I need and want and what is and isn't possible. The skinny space is the kitchen now. It's not ideal as of course is very small and narrow so can't house much. But I like that it's just off the reception room and. It quite in it! The kitchen houses the boiler currently and all pipe work there for oven and sink etc so I know this can be the kitchen but just worried the space is too small. My original plan was to keep the kitchen where it is but rehouse boiler and put washing machine in the toilet. The toilet would go in the bathroom but of course now that's not possible I need to put the boiler and washing machine somewhere and if back in the kitchen then I lose so much space. Could such a small space work? I need to rule out this ideal by speaking to a specially that deals with very small spaces. Any recommendations please?

Our house is very cosy. I love coming inside after shutting the hens away at night, locking the doors and feeling warm and cocooned tucked away from the outside world. When I go outside in the evening I often hear owls hooting to each other which is just magical.

Hi Dundrum, sorry I don’t think grey would go at all, It was more to show you the variety of styles in vinyl rather than the colour. Here’s some more appropriate, warm shades, creams and beiges as well as wood effect. If you have time, visit a flooring shop and you will see 100s of examples, that’s what I did. I did also choose a Moroccan patterned vinyl below, but I’m not sure the shade is quite right? I really like the first dark wood effect one.

Not on stairs, I think we weren't sure how to nicely finish off the edges. Timber trims might be an option, as the supplier didn't have an off-the-shelf solution for this. I don't see an issue to have this on stairs - I would speak to your builder to try and match the colour of the timber nosings which would be at the edge of each step, to the colour of the floor.

One more thing - get the reccomended adhesive with the cork flooring, just in case, and you might find that the lead in time is quite long, so plan ahead ;-)
