I have a large hallway that will be tiled in a light colour possibly off white/beige/taupe. I have no option but to have a wooden staircase with either wood or iron spindles. I absolutely hate carpet runners, so will leave the bare wood. My problem is what to use for flooring on the first floor. I have a large landing. All the bedrooms will be carpeted. What flooring should i use on the balcony landing? what should it match? I dont want it to look like a mish mash. Im going for a contemporary look and quite simple. But i am totally lost.
