Wood floor advice please!!!

Dernière modification : il y a 5 ans

Is there a preferred way to lay wood floors? We have a long kitchen/diner with a concrete base. We want to lay wood flooring and I'm wondering if we should lay it widthways rather than lengthways to give the impression it is wider? It is 8.5m by 3.5m. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Generally lengthways is usual for a long room but at 3,5m it would probably look okay. An alternative would be to lay it herring bone fashion if the layout will stand it.

As Chris says above traditionally the floor boards would run length ways as the timber joists would span the shortest distance. This way the floor looks more natural as otherwise you run the risk of lots of horizontal lines running down the length of the room which can look cluttered.

Good evening, please make a selection of what can remain or not, the wooden floors seems to be ok already, make a selection of tendency you like, modern, classic, chic or completely different. Colors selection needed. We see only one room please add more details.

Need advice about less ugly flooring option--French rental apartment

I see your point, It does look ugly :) Since its a rental apartment, do you have the authorization to remove it ? Because unfortunately, you can't put down vinyle over lino, it will not work (and its not because of the uneven floor). You can remove the lino and put another one, less ugly. It can be nice actually :) http://designmag.fr/design-dinterieur/lino-sol.html You are speaking about sticker, its quite cheap, why not trying and see if it fits with an uneven floor ? Although Im not sure that it will look pretty. Last solution, you can paint the lino, it will not last forever but it could be nice. Ask for expert advice to by the appropriate painting pots.

Wall art idea needed

Hello Velvet Ninja You seem concerned with that one wall. I'm not trying to criticize, the space seems new, with quality materials and well-lit, but have you also noticed the other big white walls? and ceiling? Why just the wall with the mirror? You've got a majority of white, a good dose of black, some chrome / stainless steel details and an uninterrupted shiny pale wood floor. It's relatively astonishing that you have a white door and only one white window, but the other window is black? Everything is relativement anonymous, nice, but nothing too ground-breaking. Is this a rental or your own home? Are you sure that just some art on that one wall will make it cozy and beautiful? Have you thought about any window treatments? Store venetien? Rideaux? Store bateaux? Any type of rug under the dining table? A rug called Bolon, made of woven vinyl fibers, easily cleaned ant anti-allergy. Is the mirror not on the axis of the table on purpose? And why a dark wood? It adds to the "window types", a black one, a white one and the wooden mirror one... Some more information would be helpful. good luck, Lynn

Agree with above and think they used to run towards windows/doors unless mistaken. Running them as you suggest can work but you've got a very long room! Have you chosen the floor? Wide planks can work or a chevron or herringbone as Chris said. I would avoid thin strips if you run them short wall to short wall
