dining room floor. Maybe even reduce the size of the parquet floor and fram with wood, then use the flooring for the rest of the house as a border?
Entry way room with stone floor
moisture and mud tracked in from outside, but hardwood is still the most popular flooring material for the rest of the house.
This entryway has two logical transition points at the openings to the hallways. The colors in the stone also pick up the tones in the wood which makes the two materials look good
don't forget these shelves that combine to make anything possible with shelves many different sizes, inexpensive and with baskets, look good.....utility room
