Flooring for condo

10 years ago

We have a debate on whether to tile the whole apt with one material or break it up with other materials. We live in S. Florida.

Hi, our whole house is done in darker hardwood flooring with only two rooms, one of our baths and the spa/laundry done in tile and I love the continuity of the similar flooring.

If you do different flooring ensure that the change up is because the room has a different function, for example kitchen or baths, but I would have bedrooms and hallways and main rooms in the house be the same flooring. This pic is a good example of transitioning different flooring, more busy in the stairs area with combining the two looks than just the straight transition as in the second pic, so more personal taste.

I believe it is a personal preference. You need to do what you think looks best. Personally I like the same floor throughout.
