10 Flooring Ideas To Transform Your Home

When renovating your home, thinking about flooring design ideas not only helps you plan and make informed choices for your home but it also helps you to budget effectively for your project. Floor tiles are often the largest investment during cosmetic parts of home renovation and can be challenging to change depending on what room you’re focusing on. But, with the guidance of various flooring ideas, you can design a space that meets your needs. In this blog post, we talk you through a range of flooring ideas and how they can be used to enhance your home.

Whether you’re drawn to a rustic country look or the elegance of a Victorian-inspired space, these flooring ideas are a surefire way to elevate the ambience of any room in your home.

When it comes to kitchen floor ideas, it pays to create a warm and welcoming space. This country living look does exactly that. To recreate this look, we have opted for the natural Amazone modular tile, made of real limestone that mimics traditional flagstone flooring. To finish off this modern yet rustic look, we recommend pairing the modular tile with neutral tones for a cosy country feel.

Adding kitchen floor tiles based on natural materials and colours is a simple way to tap into the Scandi aesthetic. The simplicity of the Scandi style not only helps to create a look that remains clean and timeless but also allows for flexibility. By choosing classic wood effect tiles, you can achieve the durability of tiles with the perfect look but mix everything else up later on if your tastes change as these tiles go with everything.

For this modern flooring idea, we have paired the pale tones of the Kanzi Natural tile with bold forest greens, silvery metallics and black metal accents. But, for something a little more decorative we recommend the Adalene range which works with black, shades of grey and other wood tones.

Apartments flooded with natural light are perfect for creating a luxe feel, and the surfaces and textures you choose are key in shaping the look. To add warmth and depth, opt for the Mora Oak wood effect tile. Complete this flooring design idea by adding matching wooden furnishings to seamlessly tie the entire look together. Alternatively, for something with a little pattern but stills feels natural, why not introduce a marble floor. Although available in a range of colours, classic white still reigns supreme because of its versatility.

For smaller bathrooms, carry the green shade up on to the walls too, and adding some texture, like Flute Sage's decor tile, will help draw the eye up making the room feel larger. Utilise different tile laying options depending on your room's requirements.

Typically, bathroom fixtures are clean, streamlined shapes, so adding textural details to your bathroom scheme is important to help create depth and interest for the eye. A great way to do this is by using your walls and floors and choosing a surface texture, whether it be the intricate veining of marble or the rugged chips of terrazzo.

For a unique bathroom flooring idea, consider the unexpected blue marbling of Apuano. Its blue tones are versatile, working with soft cool-toned browns, pinks, and shades of white and black.

Neutral tones are often associated with clean minimalist styling however, they also work well in more classic settings. The soft, grey mottled stone effect of Essen pairs well with other neutrals or deeper more dramatic tones, depending on the feeling you want to create. In this flooring idea, we have kept it simple: choosing to furnish the space with a large free standing bath and minimal accessories to let the tile take the spotlight.

A classic Georgian or Victorian hallway uses colour and pattern to the extreme so cherry-pick your favourite elements and make it work within your space.

Wood panelling is a great way to add texture to your wall whilst keeping the space inviting, it's also a great way to introduce easily changeable colour into your space. We love this statement blue mixed with the monochromatic Ruzzini tile.

For some Victorian-inspired flooring inspiration, why not use our Osterley Black and White tile from our Victorian Flooring range? This tile pays homage to the era of your home whilst adding a modern twist, we love a monochromatic theme for a timeless feel.

Grey is now a pillar of contemporary style as it’s so versatile. In this flooring idea, we have created a modern yet timeless look with the Inara Concrete tile. The mid-grey floor tile provides a clean and sleek look, and when paired with black accessories, it exudes modern simplicity.

Tone down a statement pattern floor tile by recreating the colour palette of the floor design throughout the entire room. The cool-toned greens found in Berkeley Essence Eden are the perfect pairing for a sage green front door and charcoal radiator. Complete the look with a glass-topped console table with a brass frame for a vintage twist.

Marble effect floor tiles are an ideal way to replicate the luxurious feel of the real thing while providing the added advantage of enhancing a space’s aesthetic without the demanding care requirements of real stone. Plus, large format porcelain tiles have added versatility and can be used in a range of settings as they are virtually indestructible, stainproof, and impervious to water.

In this design, we have used the Novene Carrara tile. This marble effect tile has been used on the walls and the floor to create a sense of continuity. With subtle grey veins throughout, we’ve opted to pair it with simplistic wooden furnishings and worktop, creating a visually cohesive and elegant space. This flooring inspiration is perfect for those looking to create a space that oozes charm and timeless elegance.
