Entrance Tile Work
Hi everyone,
We are in the midst of planning for renovations, and are hoping to get some insight into a question we have.
We have a (half-)step between our reception and our kitchen that our architect can level out as he is opening up the space. However, to do so, he will need to get rid of the gorgeous tile work in the hall way leading up to our front door (picture below).
Our question is: Is this tile work an original feature of our Victorian house on Winsham Grove in Clapham or is it something we can replace? How do other people who have levelled out their space or dug basements dealt with this?
Much appreciated!

Which colour would work with tiles?
Comments (7)I suggest to pick out a couple of the colours in the floor that you like, head down to your local DIY store and pick up some of the paint charts. Try to find as close a match as you can and then go a couple of shades lighter. Get a few paint samples try them out at home and see what you are happy with. I know it is a bit tedious but the effect will unite the floor with the walls....See MoreHallway - Working with Victorian Tile
Comments (47)This looks really great, and I'm particularly interested as we have a similar hall with an artificially narrow entrance (1950s conversion of an 1880s house!) which carries round in an L shape all the way to the back of the flat. We also have the sloping understairs ceiling and the height makes it dark and cold. We've thought of dropping the ceiling and having spotlights as you've done, but it's the floor we're most uncertain about. Our tiles are older than yours and in very poor condition, plus very cold underfoot, so we're still undecided whether to cover up entirely (carpet? engineered wood?), saving the floor for future inhabitants, or actually (eek) taking it up. The majority of the tiled floor is in the communal hallway, so it's still there for people to enjoy. Anyway, sorry - just wanted to say also I love your colour scheme and the panelling isn't something I would have considered but it looks fantastic and we have very similar panelled doors, so I think we should consider it....See Moretiles for a narrow hall way entrance.
