A home with no stairs can be as luxurious as one with many floors. It depends on the design and the materials used to construct and finish the home.

Hi Saranyam, You can use tiles/granite for kitchen and bathroom, while for the living room and other rooms you can select marble flooring. Marble is more durable than tiles as they long for some 25 years while tiles stay for 10-15 years. Also, Marble is stronger than tiles. But for areas such as kitchen and bathroom tiles are used because in case of stains the floor can be easily cleaned whereas marble absorbs the stains which becomes difficult to clean afterwards.

Hello. As you rightly mentioned, there are lots of varieties of tiles available in the market today, including the wooden pattern ones. These designs are offered by almost all the leading tile companies. Well, the patterns/designs are usually on individual's preference, but a natural teak wood pattern would give a natural look as you requested. More than the designs of the tiles, the points that I would suggest to take care of before choosing a pattern is 1. It should not be too dark as it will make the room look smaller 2. It can have a decent amount of texture finish, but shouldn't be over board as it will be a hindrance to walk freely and also cleaning would be a pain. 3 The thickness of the tile, many good companies be of standard quality 4. Easy availability of the tile, in case you have to replace the broken tiles, they should be easily available. About matching the floor with your walls and ceiling, do not replicate what is on the floor (color/pattern), instead go for something lighter in shades (wallpapers or paints) for walls and for ceiling you can consider the wooden theme PVC panels, which are available in multiple colors.

Sajeesh, From our experience, Century and Greenply are good. But they are atleast 20 percent costlier. Kitply is also reliable brand. Anyways always buy from company authorised distributors. There are a lot of duplicates being sold for plywoods. You can expect 80-90 per sqft for a decent ply. Cheaper ones would start at 45 per sqft. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs Bangalore.
