I think it looks great

i'd try to fit your flor all the way to the wall. your orange strip will always reflect badly... literally... on your walls. i have the same ancient wide boards in my second floor and trying to have a pale blue or white wall is difficult.

Thanks ninigret, I was trying to decide about whether to try to make the Flor tiles mimic carpeting, so I appreciate the advice

I would pop out a couple of the solid FLOR tiles and pop in a couple with a coordinating pattern. Do it randomly to give it a bit of visual interest. The nice thing about FLOR is the tiles are inexpensive and you can experiment a bit. Keep the solid tiles you took out and put them on reserve. Then if you have a nasty spill or a pet accident problem, you can replace the tile.

Thanks so much Sabrina! I was thinking about adding an either yellow/white or orange/white area rug (maybe like this in orange on top of the Flor tiles, but I love your idea of adding in different Flor colors. Would it be boring to pick the same exact tile in a different color? I can't find anything textured that would match well. I got this in flannel blue, so I guess I could add in some clementine and or maize color?

Hard to say @outside1006 unless I knew what the bedding and other textiles will look like. I think I would avoid layering a rug on top; might be a tripping hazard, which you definitely do not want when carrying an infant. No I was thinking adding in a patterned tile--either stripes or maybe a lattice type--but much will depend on how busy your other patterns will be.

Thanks again Sabrina! I can't exactly find a Flor pattern or stripe color that goes well with the flannel blue, but may just mix in pops of solid color. I haven't bought bedding or anything yet, so maybe I can explore more with patterns there

What about this one? FLOR Oasis Retreat

I wouldn't necessarily make the accent color dependent on the gender of the baby (I personally never liked pink as a child!). Pick a fun color and go with it regardless of whether it's a boy or girl. You'll be busy enough once he/she arrives without worrying about decorating details :)

Thanks everyone for all these recos! Laura Hill, I didn't think to mix shag but it actually looks good in the photo you sent! I am ordering samples in a ll these Flor tiles and will update with what I choose :)
