Help with flooring in hallway and stairs
I'm after a bit of advice and some opinions too :) We live in an old victorian rectory and I rather optimistically ripped up our carpets and plywood hoping to find a lovely timber floor underneath. Unfortunately it is a mish mash of broken planks, several different types of wood and gaps you could get your hand through. So I need to cover them up. I was looking at timber floors which are lovely however we had them in our previous house and with 3 children and 2 dogs they were terribly scratched and dulled after a few years. I really don't want carpet again as with the kids and dogs it's also a nightmare. Tiles would be too cold (can't put underfloor heating in) so it leads me to LVT. Would it be absolute sacrilege to put them in an old house? I also am not sure how I tie that in with the stairs. If I strip the treads and paint the risers white will it look odd next to the fake wood? Thanks.

Comments (13)I love dark walls and I think your hall with the shiny floors and the right finish on the wall make it special. You already have the wrought iron, which definitely dictates a certain look. I hesitate to recommend a specific color from my monitor, but look at the BM colors in the 1037’s through the 1078’s and see if there is something there which looks good with the tile....See MoreNeed help for my entrance hall wall!
Comments (16)A niche would be a good way to add some drama without infringing on your circulation space. It doesn't have to be deep to be effective. You can do one simple vertical rectangle, and line the back with a mirror, or add some colour with paint, wallcovering or wood. It would be great if you could also add a recessed light fixture at the top. The attached images are perhaps too busy for your situation, but it gives you a good idea of what can be done. Good luck!...See MoreHelped needed for hall decor
Comments (3)i was going to say tapestry or a glass mirrored effect, as well haha. or just a large painting that you will love to look at. your chandelier is very nice, but i've seen many with that kind of entrance, that they have those really long, pendent lighting, for a dramatic effect. but i'm thinking, you don't want to change that. or a giant clock. or one of those wall stickers. or animal heads haha. few ie attached...See More

6 years agoThis sounds a bit mad, but have you thought of woven vinyl flooring? It is very lovely, you can clean it easily, the one thing I would worry about is claws.. so you'll have to take a view. Might be a tad slippy too, so think about nosing. but it's another option. You can get some interesting nosing details too. Also I don't think LVT is a terrible idea, but as long as you buy one high spec enough, that it has a thick wear layer (clear bit at the top) so that scratches can be buffed out if need be. My favourite Woven Flooring Brand is Bolon. My favourite LVT brand is Amtico. Hope that 's helpful. :)

6 years agoHi Hilary,
We can't help but imagine a beautiful parquet floor in that hallway - we agree with colourhappy about having a durable carpet on the stairs too to add contrast. Hallways in old houses just ask for parquet, and you could go modern or traditional with the colour. Here's some inspiration:
