Hi Anchal,

You may go for different flooring materials for different rooms. However here are a few pros and cons -

Pros -

Different floorings demarcate the formal and informal spaces in a house and can add character to the space. Colourful IPS flooring, wooden flooring etc. are used these days to highlight a certain space such as the balcony/ terrace and drawing room respectively. You can spend more on the more formal spaces such as dining, living and drawing and go for cheaper flooring options for the bedrooms, bathrooms and balconies.

Tip: It is best to appoint an interior designer or an architect if you are opting for different floors and they can guide you better with respect to the colours and combinations.

Cons -

Different types of flooring visually divide the space and make it look smaller than it actually is. Also, as rightly mentioned above, the wastage of material is more as compared to going for a single flooring type.

A single type of flooring a makes the space look seamless and hence larger to perceive. Italian marble works best when going for this option. You may also go for other stones such as granite, jaisalmer and kota. If it gets too monotonous, grooves, different sized stones and patterns of laying can help break it.

Hope these ideas inspire you. All the best!
