Ultimately, your flooring selection is completely personalized to your family’s needs. Interior designer Katie Perry explains the endless possibilities with one flooring or multiple! “Cohesion in a house is important, so it can add value to a home to have consistent flooring running throughout, particularly on the ground floor. In open-plan spaces, I would always urge clients to have the same flooring, which can be divided into different zones using area rugs. Depending on the chosen floor, I may advise using different flooring for different rooms based on practicality. If you have a natural wooden floor running across the ground floor, you may decide it is not practical to keep this in the mudroom. Equally, you may want to create a statement in a certain room such as the entranceway, this is a great way to add personality to a space. As long as you are considering how the different floors connect, then you shouldn’t go wrong!” We’re so thankful for all the contributions of our experienced home designers and readers for their insight and recommendations!
