Flow from downstairs floor to upstairs

7 years ago

Hi,

i have wooden light floor down stairs. I am now trying to source carpet for the whole of the first floor; this would consist of all the bedrooms and landing and stairs. I am in between grey or a taupe, the taupe would flown better but grey is modern which is suitable for the rest of the home.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Hey, if you like a wood colour and want a smooth transition between floor and a carpet, I'd go with taupe..
But it also depends on the furniture you would pick (or already have).
Also grey is a bit colder than taupe so I believe you need to consider if furniture and general feel of the 1st floor would be more cold modern etc or more warm cozy and soft..but it's just my opinion, I'm sure either of them will look great! ;)

I would agree you need to consider the furniture, the style of the space (how contemporary is it) and what on the walls! From your picture alone the taupe works better - but there are several wall colour schemes where I would change my mind on that.
They are both loving and the wood looks great!

Hello try Inox or French Grey 162 from Little Greene. I would also like a slightly stronger grey like Urbane Grey to add more contrast. It's to hard to get the whole picture of your kitchen without knowing what you have planned for the bench top and floor.

Hi Scott Spencer, it has been a question brought up to us several times about different floors in different rooms. Even though in the end it is personal preference, the stairs are actually where the best transition for another floor would be best placed. If you're after some dark floors we do have a huge range to choose from. Please feel free to have a look through our projects page. If there isn't anything you like on there then, by all means, visit our website www.woodfloors4u.co.uk where you can view our entire range.

Where does a downstairs shower/toilet room fit?
Q

Pannacotta - Regarding using understairs for the toilet. I have had 3 contractors visits and had quotes of around £4k. The main problem is because it's in the middle, they will have to use a macerator linked to the upstairs toilet and out through the side by the kitchen side door. That was the best routing advice instead of digging through the dining floor area on the ground floor, which is concrete and hard laminate floor etc. Cost is around £6k for new front room work. i.e. Options A/B/C. Good point about shower vs utility. It will be nice to have more ideas. Thanks a lot. OnePlan - Great plan and idea thanks. I think option C is cool. But, as you said, it means people going through my office to use the loo. We can't always win, can we! I was thinking Option B will prevent that, but having 2 doors on either side leading to the toilet/shower in a small space, looks a bit clumsy to me! What do you think about Options C without a shower, so having the other half of the wall as bookshelf or storage or any other design to support use for office, etc OR, if it's ensuite with shower, we could still use about 1/3 (on the LHS) of the wall backing dining as bookshelf or storage, etc Would a shower in Option A/B/C add value to the house i.e. interest future buyers, that maybe 10 years down the line LOL?
