50 Stunning Floors From Across the Globe

Wow, what a wonderful array of different floor types! My favorites are: 23, 25, 29, 38, 39 and 42. I think they look very chic and classy in their own separate ways! But I'm also a big fan of luxurious and "very expensive plush carpet, that feels like heaven for your feet!

#46 - LOVE the bathroom with the teal hexagon tile on the floor and walls.

#39 - I love the individual wood elements (the beam, the doors, and the floor) but together I find them cacophonous.

Amazing! I was surprised by the floor design...using part protective floorcovering round the kitchen 'wear and tear' areas. I did this almost in desperation in my old cramped kitchen that seemed it had been an afterthought just off a central hallway, but I had not seen it done elsewhere...so pleased to see I am "en trend". Many years back, having purchased my un-cared-for weatherboard cottage I was confronted by a hallway floorboard floor that had been painted with paving paint...in desperation - obviously. Disinclined to strip it back to the timber boards I purchased offcuts of ply for a song and used these to create a parquetry floorcovering. At first, my endeavours were not appreciated..."What' that?!" "Why didn't you get a proper floor covering?" But over the years it became trendy and now I see it in a photo here! So, it seems that ingenuity and necessity often drive creativity in my house...all of a sudden I am considered ...clever and inspired and my equally strained efforts to amend others' almost desperate ideas and "make do's" are now considered design genius! I am encouraged to follow the promptings of unconventionality driven by necessity...and in a way, I am grateful to see that necessity really is the mother of invention.....mmmm....maybe I should not shout that too loudly so not to lose my recently acquired design genius status!
