Would appreciate views on setting out this hallway as to which looks better. Unfortunately using the centre line gives a horrible 25mm cut in the door thresholds, so option A is off-centre slightly, leaving a larger cut on the left hand side. Option B has a tile straddling the centre line, leaving equal cuts but off-setting the bold pattern. Opinions?
B. It will look better, in my humble opinion, to have the pattern centred down the whole length of the hall rather than at the entrance. Having said that, a photo facing the other way with the tiles laid out as in B would be useful.
I’m not sure that such a ‘bold’ patter actually works in that hallway to be honest As each set of 4 tiles makes up the main pattern, however they’re laid, you’ve got cuts with part pattern at each side and doorways Ok, this will happen wherever they’re laid but in an average sized room, not as noticeable as there will be more complete patterns across the main area of floor, plus more than likely, some furniture at room edges In a hallway though like here, personally I just think they’re the wrong tiles for the setting - just my opinion though
Cheers Dave, and whilst I might agree, the customer (in this case my darling lady) is unlikely to accept such reasonings at this stage... the wonder of hindsight, hey!
yep, your in a difficult situation for sure with this particular ‘customer’ !! I really like the tiles, really do Just in this typical hallway setting, just doesn’t do them justice as the pattern is way too large and noticeable But,,,,,,, best just get them laid eh mate ....... or grow a pair
I agree with DIYDave. It's far too busy for a narrow passageway and makes the space feel cluttered even with nothing in it. I'm sure you've bought the tiles and can't take them back, so it'll have to be B ... if it has to be!
