Solid timber floors vs engineered
Comments (3)Agree with above post......you can get both and will look great either way. Engineered has a thin layer of natural timber on the top. Not sure why you were recommended this, unless you are looking at costs. As far as carpet goes, a lot of people seem to be going with timber on stairs (quite costly), and we wonder if that trend will continue. Solution Dyed Nylon carpets that are locally manufactured ( Godfrey Hirst springs to mind ) are brilliant, and have what we call "memory", meaning the pile should not crush - wool carpets will crush or flatten, as it is a natural fibre. I think carpet on stairs is also great for noise control, however that is a personal opinion....See MoreTimber flooring and timber ceiling. - too much?
Comments (20)Timber with timber can work brilliantly, and it's in keeping with the mid century style you want for your home. This room (below) is a little similar to yours, albeit with less of a pitch to the roof - the large feature lighting helps to break up the expanse of timber on the ceiling. You have a lovely open plan area, so I'd be inclined to use rugs to create zones and a cosy feel. Rugs reduce the impact of a large expanse of flooring material. They have the benefit that you can swap things around to change the look and layout at little cost. I think one trick may be to define your "walls" carefully, and paint these before you go with a new floor. This should give you a sense of whether the timber is overwhelming, and how to balance it. E.g. You might decide it works best to paint the kitchen cupboards to white, to give you a more seamless look and work with your new counter tops. If you want to experiment with the "paint ceiling" approach - gulp, it's a big one!! - then maybe that small section above the kitchen bench, at a different angle to the rest of the roof, could be the spot. It seems to have the same horizontal line as the wall, so even if you don't like the painted look for the whole, you might be able to get away with blending this into the walls. Best of luck!...See MoreTimber stairs and floor colour selection help please
Comments (8)Hi why don't you install the spotted gum floor on the staircase? you can just order a plain staircase from the stair company, and the flooring installer is able to lay spotted gum floor on the staircase. The stair nosing can be customized by using the same spotted gum floorboards. That way you will have a flush finish through the house space....See MoreALL new floor timber where 1/3 of the flooring timber doesnt match
Comments (10)I agree that it can be upsetting at this stage but your timber will all darken naturally and the difference will become less obvious over time and once you have furniture and rugs in place it's likely to be one of those issues that only you and no one else will notice. And I defy anyone to not have something like this in their house which has been newly built/renovated. I know this isn't terribly helpful but I don't think ripping anything up to start again or going to great lengths to seek recompense from supplier/installer is going to help your blood pressure either (by all means raise concerns with them and ask for suggestions from them)....See Morestella_bella_boo
