Thank you for your query. The material on this floor is an Italian vein cut travertine stone. The markings are quite linear in character with natural cream and walnut tones and a charcoal vein appearing from time to time.

Not sure where are you based but I used Homebase Masonery Red Brick paint thinned with water. It looks very natural, doesn't leave a shell on surface. You can buy a small tin for £2.79 for 225ml to try the colour. To make it more bricky you can buy two colours and mix them to get some tones like Chocolate. Link below http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/decorating/exterior-paint/homebase-weathercoat-brick-red---smooth-masonry-paint---25l-595981 I paint terracotta tiles on my bay window using that paint (red brick, chocolate, black) if you want lighter effect you can use terracotta colour. Had a big problem to remove the eggshell White paint end up painting it over.

Hi there! A grey and white colour scheme sounds quite Scandinavian to me. These stories are great for inspiration: [A Dated 1960s End-of-terrace Gets a Scandi Makeover[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/houzz-tour-a-dated-1960s-end-of-terrace-gets-a-scandi-makeover-stsetivw-vs~77233568) and, a specifically living room related one: [How to Cook Up an Authentic Scandi-Style Living Room[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/magazine/how-to-cook-up-an-authentic-scandi-style-living-room-stsetivw-vs~74540916) Do you know what is under the carpet? If there are floorboards, you could paint those white (or leave them in their natural colour) to achieve the kind of pared back look in the photo you've attached.

Kitchen worktops (UK) - what material do you have/love/hate?
Q

Hi Bry R! Choosing a kitchen worktop is a very personal choice where a couple of factors come into play. You will need to consider and prioritise: budget, look/feel, durability, usage/sensitivity. Leaving budget out for a second we reviewed your 3 materials Quartz, laminate and concrete for you: Quartz - Beautiful stone that can be used anywhere, even near the hob and sink. On the durability side, it is a very tough stone ( especially in composite form) that is more durable than many other natural stones. Also potential scratches can be sanded out if needed! Very easy to maintain. Concrete - It looks amazing. But in our opinion, a kitchen is more practical than just an aesthetic feature… but this is very personal! Concrete is more sensitive to staining of food and water. So either you need to use a food-grade sealer, get out the chopping board, or order takeaway! Concrete can also be sensitive to scratching. Last but not least given that it is heavy, you might need to rethink about your cabinetry for reinforcement. Laminate - Very flexible and can be used for all surfaces. Can also mimic any natural materials you like ( even concrete!). It is very sensitive to heat and you cannot test your vegetable cutting on it! But apart from that it is pretty resistant to stains and chemicals. Its cost even allows you to change the look of your kitchen with just changing the worktop in couple of years time, without breaking the bank. If your budget stretches it, we would advise the quartz unless you love the look of concrete and you don’t mind giving a bit more care and love to this stunning beauty in your home!
