床に踏んで looks incomprehensible. It reads like "Kick the door down onto the floor and trample it".
Did you try to write such a phrase as "step out"? If so, Japanese won't use 床 and 踏む.

"Step out of the floor (of the house) and .." : 家から(足を)踏み出して
= "Leave the house and .." : 家を出て

"Step into the floor (of the building) and .." : 建物に足を踏み入れて
= "Enter the building and .." : 建物に入って

"Step in the floor (of the road) and.." : 道路に(足を)踏み出して[踏み入れて]
= "Go to the road and .." :  道路に行って

Anyway, both 踏み出す and 踏み入れる are kind of grandiose.
