Wooden floor - wide planks.

I have a solid oak kitchen floor. It is an oiled oak floor I, have had it down over a year now and it still looks new. I use Rustins floor oil (but don't rub it back because I like it shiny). I have a family of four and a Dalmatian who runs everywhere. I prefer the narrow planks but it is down to personal opinion. My floor is scratched and when you are on your hands and knees you can see the scratches (or should I say dents because it's oiled scratches don't chip or mark like lacquered wood) the grain of the wood masks the dents that you cannot see them unless up close, please see photo as you can see I also have a solid oak dining table and chairs which are used several times a day ( we did cut up cork dinner mats and silicon them on the bottom of the table and chairs so it protects the floor but normal wear and tear of traffic is no problem. That being said I do have two over sized bathmats that I use (in white) as door mats (one in wash and one in wear these go into wash regular and I prefer them to any other mat because I like to wash them in the washing machine) One is always at the back door to protect the floor from the elements outside and everyone takes their shoes off in my house at the back door (those that have refused don't get invited back and damage has not occurred.) in choosing your floor please buy at least a quarter more than you need. The reason for this is: A lot of the planks cannot be used and these planks are mixed in with good quality planks. Quality Control is questionable these days! Some have large knots that run through the entire planks (should you wish this floor to be a forever floor that may need sanding eventually you will have huge holes in the floor unless you cut the planks down and use a for the edges or make your own tongues and grooves) some have cracks and splits that run fully through the flooring or just the tongues were split, these cannot be used unless cut down for edges and we had problems with the some of the smaller planks being slightly wider than the other planks making them awkward to work with. There are a lot of planks that also have knots in them but the knot does not run through the entire plank we did use all of these ones My advice is also if you are having a professional come and fit your floor (this cranks up the price heavily) Always: Check references, google them. and.. QC every plank yourself and personally discard those you wouldn't put down,( there are too many professionals out there that don't have high standards at all in fact I would certainly say some don't have many standards) Mark the sides that you do not want with permanent marker so you know that cannot be removed and leave the sides that can be cut down and used around the perimeter of your room. Though this is going to be very time consuming you are paying for quality for your home you want it to last.

Living Room flooring/walls advice

hi Manny i run a vintage lighting and interior design business..let me try and help.. looking at your layout you have maximised your space with the current layout however your main issue is lack of lighting and fact that you have used similar colour tone throughout which essentially camouflages all your furniture into one big colour pallet in a very dark room with poor lighting. Solution: 1) you need to break the colour pattern and create light zones essentially to let your couch table and furniture chairs stand out. choice of flooring needs to create sense of space and light. Avoid cream wall paint go white greys ...avoid cream. 2) flooring : remove carpet and replace with wide plank engineerd wood or a good quality laminate suitable for heavy traffic given that your living room dinning room gives access to entrance and access to stairs. Professionally i would go for an enginneered wood. Colour try a light grey oak wood finish go with wide planks. For a carpet in the middle of the room i would go for a geometric pattern white carpet with bold geometric patterns to open up the space. 2) lighting this is very important to fix your lack of lights and dark appearence. create zones and define them. Above the dinning table add a pendant directly above the table with a low drop. the main living rooom light needs changed the spot lights you have is not suitable for livingrooms ..the light needs to be an upper ...or down pointing given your low modern ceiling I would remove your spots and install led ceiling spots 4-6. at the corners of the couch i would add a reading table light at one end and a tall floor lamp at tge other. 3) painting and decorating. .lose the dado rail the makes your wall height seem smaller removing the dado rail will open up the room ...paint over tge cream...i would go for a matt brilliant white to different shades of white..you can also consider making the main wall a feature wall crown paints have feature wall paints with great colour range Alternatively you can use wallpaper but make sure you go for light colours that will not minimise the sense of space... 4) final stage is dressing - add a big rectangular mirror above your couch , a throw and cushions to your couch...seagrass matts on the dinning table with a glass bowl as central piece.. 5) tv - yes this would look great wall mounted and save you space..consider adding led back strips to the tv ... if you have a passion say travel or cars..planes you can express this through in adding some pictures or ornaments that are important to you and define your hobbies or passions.. for example tge world map print picture is also available as a feature wall wall paper which you could use as a main feature wall.. hope this has helped...remember dont be affraid to use colour add light and always aim to create zones as this will make the room seem bigger than it is! peace Paolo Retro&Dansk

Flooring rules for planks
Q

The general rule of thumb is to lay the planks going in the same direction as the longest length of the room. This draws the eye in and makes it feel bigger. Laying diagonally gives a more contemporary look that works well in some settings. Wider planks generally make a room look larger too.

Even if the planks are longer, it will still look great because they will all blend together. Mine are from Gerflor and they look amazing! I got them over at bricoflor.co.uk, they also really helped me choose if I wanted a plank or tile, and I went with plank. It looks more natural.
