Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Jan 15, 2013 8:57 am Has anyone seen a house where the entryway has been tiled, but the kitchen/living areas have floorboards? Odd question I know but hubby suggested we do this and I can't see how it would work, so want to see some examples. - MrsT Brought first house in 2008. Renovated...a LOT. Built in 2013.

Just came across your post while researching prefinished timber floors. We are currently having polished porcelain laid in the entry of our new build and were planning to use floorboards in the adjoining lounge room. It looks really nice in my head, but your doubts have got me wondering now.

It can get tricky, as colors can be warm and cool (ie cool reds vs warm reds, etc). Notice in the 4th photo above it works quite well because of that. Whichever flooring you pic first, take a sample with you when you look for the rest, compare them. If you are photo editing savy, you can repeat one to get a sense of a big space of that flor, and then add a little area of a photo of the other. This will give you a better idea.
