Floating stairs - Stone OR timber?? Please help me out................
Comments (13)I think that ceaserstone or marble would compete too much with your tiles and could look odd because of that. In the examples you provide, the one lot of marble stairs are with a very plain tile and the other looks like it matches the floor exactly. Your tiles have a bit of a swirly pattern so unless you chose a very plain stone/marble it would clash IMO. Also, ceasarstone can chip and I don't think it would be a very practical option for stairs. Timber would add a bit of warmth to your whole sleek look while still looking modern, and be something to tie your front door in with so it isn't the only warm looking thing in your whole light coloured area....See MoreTimber look porcelain tiles
Comments (14)While I'm with Siriuskey regarding real timber, it would always be my choice, I recently saw a brand new house with very similar tiles down the long, wide hallway into and throughout the open plan kitchen and living area. It could be that it had a north facing, predominately glass wall allowing the sunshine to flood the room, but I was surprised just how good they looked. Perhaps you could check out the real estate websites to find an open house near you to check for yourself? I do think the quality, of both the tile and the expertise of the person laying the tiles, could make a huge difference also. In the meantime, perhaps your partner may see the light before the final decision is made ;)...See MoreDirection of timber flooring dillema
Comments (5)I mean WOW Joanne, what a view! I think no-one will be worried about the board direction, honestly, their eyes will be feasting on the horizon!! Obviously this is your personal decision at the end of the day, and the more I look at this design dilemma the more I think both options would work. However I would keep the boards the same dimension throughout. Imagine entering at the front door and moving down the corridor space into the living room - you want a seamless flow as the eyes look towards the outside, and once in the room you won't mind at all the direction of the boards. I assume you are selecting a tile for the alfresco terrace - just match the direction of the boards and you can't go wrong! The link below is from the TonguenGroove website, showing a project with a corner aspect to a water-facing deck with fully glazed doors - so both conditions! They both work, right?! The main orientation IS long boards parallel to the water though.....also attached a photo of a Nicholas Murray project from Mafi website with short boards across the hall......looks good.... Good Luck! ..http://www.tonguengrooveflooring.com.au/projects/ventnor-beach-house/....See MoreTimber floors or polished concrete tiles for a kitchen?
Comments (28)@pottsy99 we really loved the house when we first bought it, especially the kitchen for its unique character. . After so many years living in the house, it started to feel quite dark and dated we wanted to change the home without moving. We are happy with the result and update As this was the last room in the house to do. Everyone has the own sense of style and what they like and this is what we like. The only thing that matters is what we like as we are living in it. Thanks for your thoughts....See Moresallyd 028
