We are about to fit Amtico across the whole of our downstairs living space 100 square meters and am concierned that laying in herringbone will be too busy, distracting and make the space feel smaller?
Hi there, as we’re currently contemplating opening up the dining room and kitchen with the addition of a small extension, we recently looked at a neighbouring property who had done exactly the same. They have Amtico herringbone flooring and it looks absolutely fabulous, certainly doesn’t make the space look smaller. I have photos but don’t want to post them without permission but i certainly wouldn’t hesitate to lay it in my own house and the space would probably be similar in size to yours.
Both will be lovely. There was a question from a couple of weeks ago where someone had herringbone laid and decided she hated it, so may be worth searching for it - click on Advice then search Herringbone flooring. The flooring looked really good but it shows you how flooring can look different to what you imagined.
For me, it could be too busy and distracting for some floors/rooms but that depends on what the layout of the house is and how the rooms are decorated. As Sonia says, look up an earlier post where the herringbone floor was lovely, but because of the angles in the house, she couldn’t stand the pattern.I have herringbone floor tiles in 2 bathrooms, which I like, but knew I wouldn’t want it downstairs because of tongue and groove ceiling in one room and too many angles in another - the effect of herringbone would not have felt relaxing to be in.
