all over flooring

HI guys and gals

My flat is of concrete 60's construction and I live on the first floor. I want to change my flooring so that it matches in the kitchen, bathroom and lounge/diner.

My kitchen and bathroom both have white floor tiles (that don't match, now I've spotted it I can't unsee) and my lounge/diner has blue office carpet that shows every stain.

Is there any product that will cover all three areas? My lounge/diner alone is 19ft by 15 ft so is quite a big area to cover.

    Tiles.

    This would be the best solution if you want a matching floor throughout the house especially when those rooms are a kitchen and bathroom. You can get some really nice tiles that look like wood and are quite stylish (but very expensive) tiling that many rooms will be pricey anyway even with cheap tiles as you need to prep the subfloor to take the tiles and you will have a cold floor unfortunately.

    you could have used laminate if you were only including the kitchen (only if you were careful with spills) but as your covering the bathroom I would strongly advise against it.

  • what is your budget? - I have Polyfloor on mine - a nice vinyl hardwearing tile but expensive!

    I don't have a budget at the moment because I know its a big ask. I was going to get some ideas and then save for it IYSWIM.

  • Karndea or Amtico would also be a good option. We have it in the kitchen, hall and bathrooms and we want to get it installed in the conservatory too but need to save up some money first.
