Have you ever noticed that the hall or hallways in your house, are the areas which get walked over the most? They deal with countless visitors, dust, grime, wear and tear every day. Especially if you have small kids or pets, your floors have a tough time being comfortable, safe, durable, aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean. And the strangest thing is, while focusing on the interior décor, we miss out on them so easily, and get busy picking the right furnishing, wall colours and lights!

Truth is, floors are the foundations for everything else that goes into making a house look gorgeous. So whether the floor is about to be laid for the first time in your new house or you are looking for a remodel, here are some innovative ideas for modern halls which are sure to help you out!

Timelessness of tiles

Tiles have been, and still continue to be strong favourites when it comes to flooring. They are long lasting, hardy and a dream to clean. They are also available in a whole host of designs, colours, and shapes for you to choose from. No matter what your home décor style is; contemporary, vintage, rustic, bohemian, eclectic, minimalist or even gothic, you are sure to find tiles which reflect your taste and personality perfectly.

The attractive hallway floor shown above has been designed by P& D Associates from Gujarat. It is a classic look combined with wood panelling on the walls, oozing with the charm and creates a warm ambience.

The ease of using laminate

If you prefer something which is easy to install and maintain, laminate is a great option. It is essentially a multi-layer synthetic product which is fused together via a lamination process. It involves simulation of wood and usually comprises of melamine resin and fibreboard materials. Moreover, laminate can be designed to closely resemble the grain, texture and colour of genuine hardwood. Affordability, durability and resistance towards stains, scratches and fading are other advantages.

Take a look at the stunning hallway above, with an eye-catching wall art on one side and a long mirror on the other. The mirror lends the illusion of a much bigger space than what is actually available.

Irresistible charm of wood

Premium quality real wood comes with hefty price tags, but their beauty and sophistication is hard to beat. The above picture of a modern London apartment will help you understand what we mean. Wood can be tougher to install compared to laminates, but when laid out correctly, they can transform the look of your home.

Engineered wood is a more convenient option than the real version since they are a little cheaper and are less affected by temperature changes and humidity. If you choose to go with hardwood flooring, then ensure that it is properly stained and treated profusely so that it can endure moisture and mud.

Value for money with vinyl tiles

The popularity of vinyl tiles is not just due to their attractive pricing, but also the strength and durability they offer. The top layers of a typical vinyl tile provide protection against tears, rips and scratches. And there is a wide array of hues, patterns, and levels of glossiness to select from.

Depending on your taste and the style of your home, you can choose tiles which are retro, modern, traditional and more. The tiles can be laid in different directions to create the look you find interesting. For instance, the floor pictured above was designed with luxury vinyl tiles laid in one direction. So if you want a quick and hassle-free makeover for your hall floor, vinyl tiles are a safe bet. Just remember that they cannot be used on stairs.

Add character to your floor with stones

Natural stones always look stylish and their cool, hard feel is perfect for warm weathers. They exude a sense of permanence which you won’t find with any other flooring material. Stones are available in a mind-boggling variety of shapes, sizes, colours, patterns and are unique. A hard, dense stone like granite or slate is ideal for halls, because they are strong, hardwearing and stain resistant.

Using stone tiles is also a good idea as their appearance varies owing to veining and natural imperfections. Note how the floor in the image above, features stones laid in a chevron pattern for a vintage, classy look.

Magic of mosaic tiles

These tiny tiles have endless possibilities when you want a picturesque looking hall floor. They are available in myriad colours and patterns, and can be arranged in different combinations to achieve the appearance you want. They are also convenient to install, look original, and the vibrant designs will surely impress your guests.

Get inspired by the bathroom floor in the image above. Mosaic tiles have been placed cleverly to create huge repetitive patterns which are apt for large spaces.

Impress with porcelain tiles

For fashionable home décor, porcelain tiles are a great choice. They are harder and denser than ceramic tiles, and hence resist water and stains better. Because they retain the in-floor heat efficiently, your feet will feel warm when you walk on the floor on a cold morning.

The vast array of colours and designs offered for porcelain tiles can leave you spoilt for choice. These can also beautifully mimic natural stones like granite and limestone. Observe the picture above to gauge how awe-inspiring a pristine white porcelain floor can look. The ease of cleaning these tiles is an added bonus.

Innovative concrete flooring

Concrete for floors was once exclusively used in factories and warehouses. It is cold, hard, a little harsh, but is long lasting and promises tasteful functionality. So naturally it has emerged as a popular and budget-friendly flooring option in recent times.   

Concrete can take on any colour and polishing, which makes it easy for you to customise the look of the floor. And taking care of it is a piece of cake since a weekly mopping is good enough. Don’t miss the smart and futuristic look of the room shown above. A simple concrete floor is the reason behind it!

Now that you know what are the different floorings you can opt for your hall, don’t wait. Go with the option closest to your heart and consult a professional floorer or builder for the best result.
