flooring

[ord27]

I need some advice. I am remodeling the house. The bedrooms are down a hallway that can be closed off. I am installing the ceramic tile that has the wood look. My original idea is to use a different "wood" in each bedroom and the hallway in the same tile that will flow into the living area. Will that look goofy? Do yall (I live in Texas) think that I need to do that entire side of the house in the same tile?

thanks!

If it's that wood/ceramic I've seen at Menards (Midwest area) I really like the looks of it.
I'm not an expert by any means but I guess the bedrooms should be different from the living room/hallway, probably something more contrasting than the same material in a different color if that's what you are saying.
Either way whatever threshold you use should help separate it.
Sometimes I'll buy enough to get an idea how it will look (at least 2-3sq ft), take a few pictures and return them. When you get something home and see it under different lighting etc. it can make the decision for you.

We are remodeling, and i bring home boxes of tile, and wood flooring to set out big sections so i can decide..a small square just doesn't give you the real look.. Good luck on your choices..

at the very least buy a box, spread it out, then decide. That is, of course, assuming meynards has a decent return policy (they're not located on the West Coast so im not sure)

Personally, i think you could make it look good IF, and thats a big IF, you can find a some styles that compliment whatever you're going to put in the hallway/living room. The only problem with that is you limit color selection and wood grain quite a bit. Some things just dont go together, but would look awesome by themselves.
