Open Plan Flooring - What direction looks best?

keswing
5 år siden

Hi, we're debating what direction the flooring in our open plan space should be. Price aside what do you think aesthetically looks the best? Our main entry into the space will be from the hall into the kitchen. The flooring we have chosen is Quick Step Livyn, a glue down LVT.


Picture 1 - diagonal




Picture 2 - vertical




or Picture 3 - horizontal

    I think perhaps it may be best to be pragmatic with the flooring based on the actual space.


    For instance, we've had Amtico flooring in wide planks put down in our kitchen. The perfect choice would have been to run them vertically from the door. However, being an older house, the walls aren't all at right angles to each other and it would have been highlighted by the planks.


    So we decided on diagonally, moving away from the door to draw the eye into the room, however, because of some odd shaped steps on an angle, it would have meant that once again there would be odd slivers of plank.


    In the end, we had the planks running diagonally towards the steps, so there were no awkward slivers of plank anywhere. Personally, I think it's resulted in a much more interesting floor.


    So I would opt for the first option - diagonally, which may prove to be easier in the smaller spaces like the bathroom, which may be difficult to lay at right angles to the walls and make a much more interesting floor..

      To me, picture 2, vertical, feels the best.

      Would actually vary it. If the floor changes direction, it helps to separate spaces very subtlety in terms of use. Going across makes a room feel wider so I would do picture 3 horizontal, but change the kitchen and dining section to vertical. I show a photo of an entrance corridor to a bedroom. The change in direction marks where the bedroom ends and the corridor begins.

      The rule for the flooring is to go running towards the windows, so definitely vertical :) Have you considered herringbone pattern? It looks really nice and it's a strong design statement. https://www.designangels.co.uk/product-page/andira-wood-effect-floor-tile

      Thanks everybody for your comments, we've decided to go with the majority and get the floor laid vertically. The vinyl tiles are now ordered and will be fitted in the next couple of weeks, I'm so excited, walking on concrete is not comfortable!
