Hello everyone,
we have decided to renew the floor in the entrance area and on the living level (the house is built into the hillside - the entrance is in the basement). Currently, there are brown tiles everywhere with about 1cm wide grout lines. To give you an idea, it looks like this: Entrance area (approx. 7 sqm) --> spiral staircase (also tiled) --> dining area: kitchen on the left (with the only access to the garden); living room on the right (also open to the dining area). The house has underfloor heating and we have a child who is 1 year old. The entrance area and stairs will definitely be tiled. At the moment, we are very torn regarding the choice of flooring. When it comes to durability, tiles are clearly the frontrunner. In terms of appearance, another covering would be the nicest. Our main concern: tiles are cold (I like to walk barefoot, child plays on the floor) and hard. Visually and in terms of "warmth," we would prefer parquet (oak, oiled) everywhere. But at least in the kitchen (and probably also in the dining area due to the passage through the dining/kitchen area to the garden), parquet is certainly not suitable. The new flooring should also last significantly more than 10 years. Do you have any ideas as an alternative to tiles - especially in the kitchen/dining area?
Best regards
