Flooring transitions - help please!
Hi - I am renovating after a flood and need to make a quick decison on floors. Would love some feedback please.
- I have a light oak floor in the hall (previous owners) which I dont really have the funds to take up
- The hall leads into the kitchen, the kitchen has stairs down to the living space.
- The other side of the hall leads down into the living space & upstairs and is carpeted.
- I am adding new engineered walnut floors to all the downstairs living space and a light coloured karndean lfloor to the kitchen.
What do I do with the stairs? ( the tred isn't deep enought to allow me to put engineered wood on the stairs)
Do I complete in light karndean - if so I will then have 3 floors in the hallway.
I need help please!
Thanks so much

Floor transition, inspiration required please
Comments (3)As Jonathan says. The floors must have been the same height at one point? I can't really see what's under the parquet. If you still have a difference once you take up the parquet, then you can screed over the whole lot ( both rooms ) for an even surface. Then go with the same flooring in both rooms....See MorePlease help with floor plan ground floor!

Comments (11)Hey Bas, Congratulations on your new home. I think it is really important to consider what do you actually need/want and go from there. I will ask you a few questions that might help to get you thinking. Do you need/want a large kitchen with island and plenty of space to cook? Or do you just need a very basic spec kitchen? Do you have people over and socialise a lot - do you need a dining table or are you not that bothered? What do you do to relax do you watch tv/read/listen to music/play music - then you will know you need a good sofa space if you watch tv or if you need a nice corner nook with plenty of space for books? Are you a muddy boots family or do you just need somewhere really simple to wash/dry your clothes? Do you work from home? with lots of storage space for papers or is it computer work and a simple desk would work just fine? Once you've gotten to the bottom of the space you need you can consider your budget, how much do you have to renovate can you afford to start knocking down all the internal walls and potentially extending or do you need to be smart with the space that you have. Good luck and happy thinking! Let me know how you get on! Jessica Studio Smith...See MoreHow to transition two different hardwood floors in same room
Comments (9)There are specific transition strips you can buy and install. As Oraanj states, you could match it to one of the wood floors, or you could get a brass bead type strip which is very thin or a thicker brass strip but that’s a bit in your face. I suggest you visit an independent flooring shop who often have more variety of stock. Of course you can search online but I think in your case it’s best to see the product beforehand and even chat to the staff there who often have a wealth of knowledge,...See More- last month

We have different carpets on our two sets of stairs. We have a patterned runner on the lower stairs and then a neutral carpet on the upper stairs. In our old house we had Brinton plaid but not a runner. https://www.brintons.co.uk/carpets/186/5639/ivory-kilgour it it’s designed to go with a plain carpet. Its good quality carpet.
