Comments (12)You can make pretty much the whole range work in any setting. So you should make a personal choice. As a guide I would make the following choices: Wide planks for big rooms Only have a pattern such as herringbone or basket weave in an area with an open area such as a big hallway (why bother if you are going to put a rug and a sofa over it) Boarders often make a space seem smaller- make sure that is your intention or use them to make an underfurnished room seem more interesting. Keep the same colour floor for every room for a feeling of continuity even if you choose different plank sizes. Use the direction of the planks to help rooms seem wider as necessary. Consider the other woods in the house- they don't have to match but clearly blond wood choices will seem odd next to mahogany furniture or an oak staircase. I think you can mix woods but try to match their tone and richness. Lastly the wood you choose will change the feel of the house. A pine- particularly a honey coloured one will fit a country style. A red mahogany or cherry will feel more traditional, a grey smoky oak can feel modern and still grand where a white wood like a pale walnut can work with a pale Scandinavian feel.

Comments (10)Hi there, When it comes to LVT it has come a long way in terms of appearance. They have now been designed to look as close as possible to real wood. We stock a brand called Berry Alloc. If you have a colour in mind we might be able to point you the the right direction? If you do have any queries or see anything of interest on our website we would be more than happy to send your FREE samples. https://www.floormonster.co.uk/luxury-vinyl.html Any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch our email is info@floormonster.co.uk or you can call us directly on 0141 887 5698. We also have the live chat feature on the website. Kind Regards, The Floor Monster team...See Morehow to choose colour of LVT flooring
Comments (37)Bonkers… aaaarrrggghhh! We don't know what to say, Tani. Not acceptable but this trade of ours is poor at this sort of thing. Mind you, you do get them FOC. Paint… there's another story. Have to pay £5+ for a weeny sample pot. Delays are flippin' annoying but much better to make sure you are certain about your choice. We don't have a display unit in our showroom (drat!) otherwise we'd suggest you come and have a look whilst sipping on one of our exceptionally decent coffees....See MoreWood flooring or LVT throughout?

Comments (7)I have solid wood flooring in most of my house, tiling in the kitchen and hall. We bought the wood unfinished and did all of the finishing ourselves (it was already sanded). Cost wise it worked out around £30 per square metre which is really good. Most of the wood I finished in Osmo Oil either Raw first and then clear or white first and then clear. It does darken and warm with age so this needs to be factored in when designing colour palettes. If you like fairly neutral palettes this can work well, if you prefer lots of colour then a more consistent Amtico product or factory finished wood may be preferable. I wanted to be able to re-finish and re-oil my floors if necessary. I have LVT in my studio which is really practical and looks good, however it doesn't feel like wood....See More

6 years agoWe had the same dilemma in our new rear extension and chose Quickstep Livyn pulse which is an LVT and are really pleased with it.
