Entire ground floor will be tiles and upstairs where all the bedrooms are will be carpet. With the home office / study however, I’d ideally like to have engineered timber, however my interior designer thinks it’s odd as it’ll be the only room with timber, and it’ll be an odd transition from tiles to timber given the study has double cavity doors which will remain open most of the time. I can certainly see where she’s coming from, however I’m not 100% sold on having tiles in a study. The other option is carpet, which also isn’t ideal. 1. Has anybody had tiles in their home office? How do you find it? 2. Would Engineered timber look out of place if it was just for the single room, and potentially mess with the flow of the house? Relevant parts of the plan attached.

I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6302 Engineering timber is certainly a less fuss option, times cheaper to supply and install and better withstands humidity. 1 16058 |
