Flooring Design Dilemma Entry

Should my foyer and entryway half bath have the same flooring?

4 years ago

My half bath is located behind my front door when the door is propped open. Since they’re located right next to each other, should the flooring be the same? I have to change the foyer floor in order to use the preexisting flooring for patch work elsewhere. (Disclaimer: half bath door not shown in picture)

Yes - in my opinion, it will look better with the same flooring.

I think it's OK to have the half bath tiled and the foyer wood. If, however, you're thinking about two different types of wood, two different types of tile or wood next to LVP, then no.

I was thinking about doing ceramic or porcelain tile

I'd vote for the consistency of all the floors being the same. It creates flow and a more sophisticated look imo.
