Hello April, It's an old wood floor and each slab of wood accepts the stains differently so getting exact match is very difficult. Sanding, staining and repolishing the existing flooring to match the new floor is a likely solution to your dilemma. Its a messy and time taking procedure though. Easier way out would be to check with original vendor if he still sells the same variety. Or request them to visit with some other matching samples. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hi, Vitrified tiles come in a vast variety of colours, textures and sizes. You can definitely go with these. They are maintenance free and achieve the desired look to a great extent. Nitco, Johnson and Kajaria have quite a range of vitrified tiles to suit your requirement. 1] For a rustic look go for stone textured tiles, full body tiles, metallic finished tiles. Choosing matte or lapato tiles works wonders for this style. These days sugar finish is available too. 2] For a more classic look opt for Italian marble patterned vitrified tiles. You can find Satuario, Diana and Travertino amongst the most common patterns. However, be wary of the fact that a tile with too many veins and small size like 2'x2' does not look like Italian marble and the floor might end up looking very busy. In such a case opt for larger sized tiles like 2'x4', 4'X8' or 32"x32". Opt for gloss finish. 3]Abstract finish tiles give the space a bold and modern look. These look good in gloss and lapato finish. 4]Motif tiles are perfect if you want to achieve a carpet floor look or add a Mediterranean touch to the space. Border these with a base tile and you are done. Matte and lapato finishes for this one. Hope these ideas inspire you. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

The original tiles provided by the builder were 595 x 595 mm. And they were used continuously through the open kitchen and the passage that connected to the bedrooms. Changing tiles in the living room alone up to the edge would have resulted in non-alignment between the old and new tiles. Because currently the closest size available is 600 x600 mm. We did not want to disturb the kitchen tiles which were intact. So what we did was to retain the old tiles on the outer periphery of the living area, and replace the space in the middle with 600mm square tiles laid on the diagonal. So the problem of aligning 595 mm with 600 mm was eliminated. We chose Nitcos's Bianco Beige which is a beautiful mocha and contrasted reasonably well with the original cream tiles. Then we inserted Nitcos's mosaics into the pattern. Then created a simple dark chocolate border with Nitco Cuero to contain the centre 'carpet' pattern
