Terracotta floors

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

I boight a house witj okd terrasotta hallway floors. it always bothered me how the adjacent powder room floors clashed. i ordered sealed terracotta floors and i asked them to stain them to match. they are a much lighter color, and not 100% water sealed. is there a stain that can seal and color? should I redo the entire hallway?

    Photo of the new terracotta?

    From what I can see, I would redo the hallway floor. Perhaps a square tile with less color variation--more neutral in style. Or oak to match the adjacent room. Because the staircase looks colonial and the existing floor is more rustic/ Spanish/ Mediterranean in style. If this is an entry area though, and depending on your climate, staying with tile may make sense.

    All depends on what the rest of the house/ adjacent areas look like.
