Change floor tiles from hall to downstairs toilet? Poll- which tiles?
Hi, We are in the middle of a house renovation and have decided to change the flooring in the hall to Avignon soft tumbled flagstones (limestone) at the last moment. This would only be in our 1.75mx4m hall and then into the kitchen it changes to engineered oak flooring which runs through dining room and conservatory.
We had already picked some patterned floor tiles and white padstow tiles for the downstairs toilet (1mx2.5) but now my husband wants to run the flagstones into there to keep the floor flowing a bit more.
My question is - do you think it is acceptable to change the flooring from one tile to another from hall to toilet? And if we decide to keep the flagstones going through to the toilet - which tile combination do you think would work?
Below: Tile Choice 1: patterned tiles and white
Below: Tile Choice 2: Flagstones with taupe and aqua cracklelux tiles
Below: Tile Choice 3: Flagstones with Aqua by itself
the aqua by itself would look like this: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/AfZ2WFOm77ELAqhVLNI3iLcccUc3tPshelb-t098fAYdwzIMKqu_mOI/
And the tile choices side by side:
I'm having real trouble with this as my husband likes bright colours and I don't know they go with flagstones? The tiles could be just behind the toilet wall (like a feature) or all round the walls at half height then up the toilet wall. The whole house will have oak doors with white frames, kitchen is cream shaker with solid oak worktops - we are aiming for a country look overall.
I would be so grateful for any help on this as I really am clueless as to what to do. Thank you

Comments (8)A quick scribble in the car...... How about swapping the kitchen and dining room? I like this possibility as you end up with a better kitchen and a better route into the garden than through a little back door and you can see from the front door to the back which in turn makes the downstairs feel bigger. I have positioned the wc to the side but you could also consider putting it in the cellar too...See MorePOLL: Favourite tile style
Comments (8)I know they're not so in vogue at the moment, but I do love mosaic tiles in bright colours to add interest to a plain room. I have a mixture of aqua and purple in my bathroom and soft glittery pale green ones in my kitchen. My pet hate is those large format beige tiles that mimic marble which people place from floor to ceiling - dull, dull, dull! I also love traditional white and grey marble, so classy!...See MoreTiling outside porch area and hallway with same tiles - weird?
Comments (6)Our hallway is total 7sqm then the outside path is max 2 sqm. It is just very expensive (£2 - 450 per sqm) even with my very talented husband doing the tiling. We are looking at a company that supplies the mosaic tiles loose but affixed to a sticky sheet so it's faster to install but still authentic individual tiles. I am tempted to use the nicer more expensive tiles inside and then use a cheaper black and white chequer board pattern outside. However like you I want things to match. So far I have done nothing because the cost is so high and I want it to look right. We are also doing a big renovation so my budget for the hall is being squeezed....See MoreDownstairs reconfiguration - which room where?
Comments (7)Hi there! This looks like a good plan. I think I like option 2 better than the first. The kitchen is located just next to the dining room and also the dining room separates the kitchen from the lounge. In terms of activity flow of tis area to maximise the use of this space best, I think option 2 would be better. Guests in the lounge can be invited to eat in the dining room, but unlike plan 1, food cannot go directly into the lounge, unless through the dining area. Regarding shifting the toilet to the garage, it would be costly first, as you rightly mentioned, but would also bring about issues with ventilating the toilet. Garages are generally stuffy and most time lack windows and I therefore think it would be not appropriated to add more foul smell to the already poorly ventilated garage. I hope this was helpful and I'll be happy to help you further. Feel free to email me to service@betterspace.co, or check out our site: betterspace.co Good luck, Ed...See More- 6 years ago
