Help with Entryway with stairs Flooring ideas

6 years ago

I would like to replace my carpet in the Living Room and Stairs. I have decided to keep carpet on the stairs but am considering wood or vinyl for the formal living/dining room. My entryway, kitchen and family room all have terracotta colored tile. The exterior is Mediterranean style with turret and tile roof and would like to maintain a bit of that decor. Are three flooring types in view at entry too much? If wood is a good option, what color is best with the

existing tile and should it be close in color to carpet on the stairs (which will be replaced)?

Yes....three flooring types inside of 2 feet is two too many. The issue becomes which floor to keep and which two to get rid of.

Right now you have the maximum amount of flooring options in a single space = 2. If you add a 3rd you will be kicking yourself in 1-2 years. It looks like tile is the best option for your situation so why not go with tile? I'm guessing the answer is, "Because there is a lot of tile in the home and I want to keep this a small project."

If you want to replace the carpet on the stairs and the sitting room, you are probably better off replacing with more carpet. This will allow for a refresh on a small scale. You will do this knowing full well that a massive flooring update will be coming in the next 5-7 years. It will give you time to save up for all new flooring.
