What flooring would pair well next to this flooring?

5 years ago

We have a Victorian/Tudor house and we are transitioning from one room to the next. What flooring do you think would work next to this?? Thank you!

We need to know the rooms, the function, and the area/size of the transition. Why not continue the same flooring throughout?

If you like the darker wood tone of the shelf a wood look tile floor that was lighter but had dark tones in it could work. There is a the risk with the more multi-toned floors to look a bit rustic and that may not be what you are going for. Here is an example of a Home Depot tile Montagna Rustic Bay The picture above is a bathroom that I recently designed that has the wood look ceramic tile on the walls, a more rustic multi-color kind than the home depot link. I think the dark wood colors look nice with grey as well. Even if you are going with vinyl tile, there should be similar options in vinyl. Good luck!

I would love to see maple in here. If you REALLY like red (I don't mind it...I'm of British/Irish Heritage = mahogany is EVERYWHERE in my house) you can work with a lovely cherry....but that's a statement in 'red' you might not want to experience.

Thanks for the ideas! I'd like to leave the stones as is. If it makes a difference, I also ordered a medium gray couch and black TV stand.

It’s wood-like vinyl. We are fully re-doing our kitchen in a few years but want to do some temporary updates now. The room with the wood is the kitchen area and the family room next to it needs something else. Ideally it would be the same throughout but the old owners had some old laminate flooring that needs to come up and the height would be different.

How wide is the opening between your kitchen and family room? You might be able to use a t-mold or a reducer between the flooring in each room and run it one direction in the kitchen and opposite direction in the family room and use the wood look vinyl in both. Even if you use another flooring in the family room, you may need a t-mold or reducer between flooring if there is a height difference.

Just a thought, JenM, if your subfloors are plywood, can’t you add an additional layer to raise the height of the lowest floor?

It’s cement sub-floor. But wondering if we could add a “layer” and make it work.

Nothing real wood looks good with fake gray plastic floors.

If you have a concrete slab, why is there a difference in your subfloor heights? It would not be a good idea to add a layer of plywood to a concrete slab because of potential moisture problems. Differences in heights is why transition strips were created.

Please post photos of where your floors join so everyone can see what you have to work with, and they will hopefully be able to help you.

I would leave it all alone and live with what you have in FR until you do your kitchen remodel then do the flooring at once and make it all match. You can fix subflooring then.

There are some nice click lock vinyl tile look products on the market, too. Maybe you could use an LVT in your kitchen and the vinyl wood look plank in your family room.

If you are going to use a 2nd product in the other parts of the home you dont want them to look like you tried to match them poorly . Its better they have their own individual look.
