I am struggling to chose floor colour.
Basically, I want to have a bright house, like show house style but I am not really a fan of carpet downstairs. Any idea would help please.
I am fancy of bright grey colour scheme all around. Agreeable gray colour living room and dining room wall. Don't even know where I could find that colour paint.
Silk tone wallpaper in the living room with a huge tv with a long unit.( haven't found a tv unit yet) Which colour unit would you recommend?
I am thinking Pale grey, almost white? Or white kitchen unit with dark grey island table like below.
For dining, left side room on second photo, I haven't found any dining table yet. My husband wants to put asian cherry blossom style huge picture on a wall with asian style plate storage.
He wants asian style furniture( black or dark brown with gold/bronze handle) and pictures here and there. Not too much.
For the entrance as you can see below I really want to have bright feeling with wow! May be grey/white tone marble or tile?
I have no idea what colour and what type should I go for flooring. All Dark wooden floor? Bright wooden floor? Or carpet for living room? What colour? So please help. I have no sense about colour match.

which colour would you choose?
Comments (9)Hi Campo. Short answer no! Slightly longer answer, there is an issue with the render which is turning the paint blue which I haven't resolved! (Although after removing our kitchen tiles (along with most of the wall!) last week, there is a much more significant damp issue than I thought :( I can't wait to see the pics! How annoying re the rug though, that is a very long wait for a rug! @ lyzdjos , Little Greene have a number of really good colours, mid stone cool and Portland stone ( with paler versions of the colours), clay deep, limestone, rolling fog. I might also look at Edward Bulmer paints....See Morewhat colour quartz or silestone worktop would you recommend?
Comments (6)I agree - if your considering various greys, the Arenastone Engineered Quartz is defiantly worth checking out too. They have lots to choose from including the new Concreto range which comes in a matte finish. The colours in the picture attached are Grigio Serena (far left, available in a polished finish), Grigio Concreto (middle) and Scuro Concreto (far right)....See MoreWhat type and style of window do you guys think would improve look?
Comments (12)Thank you guys you ve provided reassurance and consideration for me to keep the windows as they are... maybe I’m being over critical however if they look fine to others then I’m most definitely swayed to keep them. Do you think I just keep fan light sections with the criss cross design or just change those panes for a cleaner look? They are upvc Also, yes I think shutters will go the fan light line in the window to keep it look as sinple as possible. I recognise that half length window shutters would look odd The reason for shutters is that the first floor front bedrooms look out onto a main road with lots of traffic so I felt that would offer privacy. Additionally I have a very severe dust allergy so whereas curtains may look fab, opening and closing them each night and morning sets my allergy off so I find blinds and shutters have always worked best for me? Unless anyway has similar experience or could suggest alternative as I’m open to other options :)...See MoreWhich LVT flooring would you choose
Comments (15)Hi Huw, Polyflor are a top UK (Manchester) manufacturer. The 0.55mm wear layer gives it a heavy commercial rating. You'll get tired of it's looks way before it wears out… true story! Not sure about the origins of Luvanto. QA have sourced it from the manufacturer and put their own label on it. QA are a flooring distributor. Doubt you'll be able to buy directly from them and most likely will have to buy through a third party. We'd recommend you approaching both Polyflor and QA, asking for the technical data sheets for these products, saying you specifically want to know what the UV rating is for these products and are they guaranteed not to fade? You can buy Polyflor Expona Commercial on our site by clicking here. Would this herringbone be of interest to you, Huw? We'd recommend not taking Jonathan's acrylic high gloss floor polish suggestion. That may work on engineered/solid wood, but not a man made LVT We're cute, we're cuddly… we're the Flooring Gurus! t: 01622 790 356 e: info@flooringmegastore.co.uk Unsure of our credentials?

7 years agoIf you go for the darker wood colour flooring throughout it'll go with whatever colour you choose, the lighter woods tend to clash with greys (in my opinion )
They also look particularly good with plush rugs for a living room or bedroom.

7 years agoDownstairs floor is all concrete. So quite cold without carpet down. That's why I am very indecisive at the moment. I am not English and the house style in my country( Asia) is totally different from UK houses( a photo I attached is really asian style apartment and I love it). Underfloor heating, marble floor/wall and luxury art wall behind TV. I really want to make the house as similar look as possible to Asian style so that I could feel homely.
Will dark floor everywhere make the house small and cold?

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoNo, I don't think so, you can have plush rugs! If you would like the look of Marble without the cost and the coldness, maybe have a look at Karndean. We have this throughout our downstairs, utility room, shower room etc. It's actually a Luxury Vinyl Flooring, and it's quite good under foot. I can vouch for the fact, that it's also pretty indestructable !
Here are a couple of Marble types:- Art Select Fiore
Karndean Opus Mico
