Kitchen floor help please
Comments (18)I think the third one. Light but warm. The first one is very 'characterful' with large knots which would give more of a rustic feel. This can work in both period and contemporary spaces, but if its a wood effect flooring, the more prominent the character features, the more obvious it will be that its not real. If its a real wood floor then you could go for a character grade oak. Talk to your supplier or fitter about a clear lacquer or oil finish. They are much improved in recent years with no yellowing with time....See MoreFloor plan and new kitchen help please
Comments (9)Hi. Sorry but I assumed the supporting walls would be marked in some way! I'll get the upper plans on here but issues are - poor kitchen layout because door pavement gives an offset track out to the garden and splits the kitchen leaving a dead space. Theirs a distinct lack of storage there too and a restricted working space in the u- shaped area as only one person can be there working. There is an archway between living room and dining room at present which gives a long narrow sitting room and furniture placement is difficult to avoid blocking a way through. Also the door from the dining room opens across the archway, about half the door width. The corridor out to the hall is narrow and dark and seems to be wasted space. It's barely the width of the door and has no door casing on one side. If I'm investing in a new kitchen I'd like to se if I can make the space flow better....See MoreWhat colour floor to go with this kitchen, please help?!
Comments (19)Thanks all for your help, we haven't got underfloor heating and I have two very messy boys especially with water so I think engineered wood is out and so are real tiles as they would be so cold. Its a north facing room so I'm very aware I need to warm the look of the room up as the grey and the white walls are looking very stark now. Karndean, amtico and poyflor are the companies i'll look at then. Has anyone used polyflor? They seem much cheaper than the other two companies? And oneplan would grey flooring look weird against the grey wood Worktop? Bit too matchy? I'd like to go a bit more modern Scandi kitchen. Unfortunately my husband likes country style hence the kitchen handles and look we chose. But now I want to warm it up a bit and give it a more Scandi look?!

Comments (6)Hi Sumi, Matt finish on a kitchen always looks great and is a wonderful alternative to gloss, main thing to keep in mind is though a Matt finish will allow stains and marks to become less visible than a gloss with such marks as finger prints and smudges (which means you will clean it less) when you do get a big stain or mark you may find it will be harder to remove due to it absorbing into the finish. Scratches will be less visible on matt than gloss and if you get a chip it is easier to touch up a matt finish that gloss. Gloss biggest pro is that it is very light reflective so if you have a kitchen with minimal natural light then consider gloss as an option as matt will not bounce light.
