Comments (3)Hi, It doesn't sound like you could go far wrong with a solid wood floor throughout Christy. It would compliment the white and grey you have in the kitchen, white worktops look great against the warmth of wood. I have attached a picture to help illustrate the point for you. Hope this helps spark some ideas going forward!...See MorePlease help to add colour and personality to my family kitchen!
Comments (21)Hi Yolanda - I'd change the stools, table and chairs, and swap the pendants for something in coloured glass or (personally) metallic, and change the cabinet handles from steel to brass/gold. Instant lift. Splashback-wise, try distressed mirror (suitably tempered and toughened) as it has loads of personality, bounces light around and is easy to clean. Then play with wall colour. Warm accents will stop the wood door from jarring so much (or paint it, if you can convince your husband). You have a lovely kitchen - will take very little to get it where you want!...See MoreHelp please...kitchen floor advise needed please.

Comments (3)Your kitchen has some great wall space area. If you chose a splashback, it could act as a subtle addition to your space, or depending on the colour you choose it could lift the space with an accent hue. I wanted to suggest if you would be interested in considering our splashbacks as an option to complete the look of your interior. Please take a look at our website: www.alusplash.com AluSplash® is an aluminium-based kitchen splashback and interior wall panel, which is an ideal alternative to glass, acrylic and tiled splashbacks. Offering a high gloss look-and-feel at a fraction of the cost, AluSplash is affordable, easy to install, clean and maintain. AluSplash is not only fire-resistant and safe to use behind all popular cooktops, but as it is grout free, it's a lot easier to clean!...See More

If you're thinking about tiles for splashbacks, we've got some great Stories on splashbacks that might help inspire you! Metro tiles are becoming a bit ubiquitous but I still think they look great - here's something for your green!

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI think a pale blue or a green would look good. Either in a metro tile or I love these hexagon mosaic tiles: http://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/catrangetiles/mosaic-tiles/toto-hexagonal-mosaic-tiles/sky-blue-hexagonal-4410/5273/?gclid=cj0keqjw_rytbrdvhzeqrbzn_q0beiqajnbshke3nyh7mic3sewget-hczee7pgpe65e2nw2-bbwtvuaaiv-8p8haq
These will pull out the colours from your clock.

PRO9 years agoDear Barbara,
I love your kitchen, so colourful and the wooden floor looks just amazing!
I collected some pictures for you that may be helpful.
If I was you I would probably go for white metro tiles or mosaic tiles, in two different colours to match them with the surroundings.
I could imagine having there mosaic tiles in yellow like your splasback, maybe mixed with white one or with grey to match the cabinet colour. I think, it really depends what your style is.
Your kitchen features Contemporary/Scandinavian style so with that metro tiles would go perfectly but mosaic tiles as well.
Good luck with your Project!

9 years agoHomebase does some great porcelain tiles - Luna. The beige (also available in black but won't recommend) one will work well with your units I think. You can use the 300x600 size for the wall and the 400x400 for floor. They are not expensive at all, we paid only around £12/m when we did our bathroom in the old flat, hope the photos below show. Be aware they are very difficult to drill though. The word porcelain says it all! :). For the splash black though, it's been my dream to have a coloured glass one, any colour will go well with your neutrally coloured units. So if you managed to save a bit on floor tiles, I'd use the savings on glass. All the best!

Thank you all so much for your ideas. I would really like something along the lines of this picture from Parc Guell. Does anyone have any ideas of how to commission or create this?

I made a mosaic for the garden having been to Parc Guell! I smashed some plain tiles, and glued them with pvc glue upside down on brown paper in my designed pattern (a star shape). Then I put the paper and tiles paper side up on to the layer of adhesive, washed the paper and glue off when adhesive was dry, and grouted. Sounds hard, but was quite easy. If you use patterned tiles, you could get more of the Parc Guell look. This is the finished circle, and the design I made beforehand.
