Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 May 27, 2011 9:40 pm Please help us choose? We thought we had decided on our flooring, that was until we went in to put a deposit on our order and discovered this wood flooring. We didn't even consider it originally, but it is on sale this month is only 2K extra than our original choice (for now). We like the wood flooring (on the left in pic), but we chose our kitchen colours based on the flooring on the right, which we also like. Behind the flooring is a T.V. unit which is the colour of some of our furniture. Below is the carpet choice and bathroom/laundry tiles and laminate choices.

Re: Which one do you like? 3May 27, 2011 10:03 pm I prefer the flooring to the right, all your other selections go with it better & I think it will be easier to introduce other colours with rugs, furniture etc as there are a lot of different colours to that floor. Your TV unit goes well with the flooring to the left as they both have a red colour to them but I think it's more important that your kitchen, carpet etc match as they are a lot harder to replace!

There is also some red in the flooring on the right, to help the tv unit blend in. But broom hit the nail on the head, kitchen and carpet are way more exxy to change than tv unit. Also, if floor and furniture was ALL red there may be too much of it Hope your decision comes soon Re: Which one do you like? 7May 28, 2011 8:51 am I like the one on the right too My building thread : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36059 Paid initial deposit 24/7/10 Tender appointment 20/8/2010 Flooring and tile appointment 25/9/10 Colour and Electrical appointment 13/9/10 December site start delayed Site start (YAY!) 17/1/11 Slab pour 1/2/2011 Re: Which one do you like? 9May 28, 2011 11:19 am With most of you picking the flooring on the right, we must have done alright with trying to get the colours to flow I was stuck on my kitchen colours so chose the flooring first, made it easier for us. I guess our decision is made harder because we have the opportunity to have wood flooring vs laminate flooring. We tried to get the darkest shade available in the wood, believe it or not it's more of a chocolate compared to the others Maybe we should save ourselves a couple of grand and get the laminate! Re: Which one do you like? 10May 28, 2011 12:35 pm I prefer the one on the left with your furniture colour but I'd only go with that colour if you altered your tile & kitchen colours. The one on the right is very nice too though and goes perfectly with the rest of your selections. It's so hard to picture it all in your head isn't it?

The red looks different but plays against the TV cabinet too much and makes the red floor artificial and then devalues the colour of the cabinet. The right makes the cabinet stand out in a rich luscious textured way. Also the R) floor has both the greys and reds to subtle visual advantage for the furniture and other colour elements as displayed. WL stage 8 Re: Which one do you like? 13May 30, 2011 10:15 pm I personally like the one on the left, looks more " natural " & not loud, goes nicely with your carpet. Re: Which one do you like? 14May 30, 2011 10:36 pm One on the right for me too, the left one is a lot 'redder' if thats a word, also consider what type of furniture you are going to have as this might help you decide.
