Hi,
for my new apartment (which will be rented out) I need to choose the flooring materials. The living room floor should be brushed oak, naturally oiled (roughly like in the 2nd photo).
Currently, it is trendy to have parquet throughout the entire living and dining area including the kitchen. However, since I am renting out the apartment and personally prefer tiles in the kitchen area (keyword: water), I want to have the kitchen area tiled. In the first photo you can see the kitchen plan.
Here are my questions:
1. Does something like this seem old-fashioned or are there any disadvantages?
2. What size and color would you recommend? I was thinking about 30 x 60 cm in cream color? Are square tiles (50 x 50 cm) better in this case?
3. What else should be considered? At the transition area between tiles and wooden floor, it must be ensured that no tile is still visible. That would really be ugly.
