Hi there, We have a couple of darker option, I believe when going for a dark flooring it tends to create a more warm and cosy feel. We have a couple of option in stock that may be something of interest, these options are engineered boards. The first option we would have is the Pyrenees Smoked Oak, this is a stunning wide oak board. With the wider planks it creates depth to the room like no other board. On another note, it is also available inHerringbone style. The second option would be our gorgeous Hand scraped Geneva oak, with the deep rich colour, it gives the room a fantastic rich feel. The Third option we would have in stock would be our Oslo Oak, This board is relatively dark compared to the boards mentioned above. Do you have an idea on the exact colour you would be looking for? Even a picture of something you have seen? We may have a product in stock to match exactly what your looking for. If you do have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch via email, Info@floormonster.co.uk or you can call us directly on 0141 887 5698. Kind Regards, Floor Monster Team

This is a question i get asked all the time. We sell miles of Wood Effect Porcelain Tiles for anything from a small cloakroom floor to huge living spaces. Like someone said Porcelain is Cold to touch where as the real thing, not as much. Most of the Builds we supply it to are installing Water underfloor heating throughout the areas its being fixed to so you avoid this problem. With the phenomenal technology being used to create these tiles they are now available in Lengths of up to 1700, they are looking more and more authentic. With hundreds of factories around the globe all giving it their best shot there really are some true stunners that not only fool the eye but the touch too. The positives of Porcelain really outweigh the negatives, no warping, no swelling, no staining or scratching. We once had a customer that replaced her traditional wood with porcelain because it was so much easy to look after and she didn't need to worry about her cleaner using the wrong product and staining it. Be careful with Amtico as they are not all UV protected and can fade. Take a look at our http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/2107824/wood-effect-tiles-dolphin-wood for just a small insight into how Porcelain effect tiles can really transform any area of the home. Hope this helps.

I had this myself recently - I ended up I did go with a wooden table - a vintage one with multiple shades so it would still contrast and not look too much/samey. I also put a jute rug beneath mine and once you dress the top with a runner and a plant/vase etc it looks great. Alternatively white always works and I love concrete but expensive - concrete resin - metal can also be a good option - I wouldn't go with glass - I feel it's dated.

For Natural Oak kitchen colour many customers opt for floors with cooler or neutral undertones. Which will show the warmth of oak cabinets making, it pop beautifully. Best Colours: Grey Oak (Smoked or Oiled): A light to medium grey oak floor creates a stunning, sophisticated contrast. The cool grey makes the warm oak look richer and more intentional such as https://woodfloors4u.co.uk/product/heritage-xl-range-oyster-grey-oak-hardwax-oiled-4-15-x-260-x-2200mm/?srsltid=AfmBOoqyYtrjj_2G7xr8yjyScV64bKveIOZ9_bdzNYa3cYdddEGWJPjq White/ White-Washed or Limed Oak: These finishes are pale and sit on the cool side of the spectrum. They brighten the space and let the cabinets be the warm, standout feature without competing https://woodfloors4u.co.uk/product/heritage-xl-range-mineral-white-oak-brushed-hardwax-oiled-4-15-x-260-x-2200mm/  Pale, Neutral Oak: Choose an engineered Pale oak with a natural, matte finish. It has minimal warm undertones, providing a clean, bright, and neutral backdrop https://woodfloors4u.co.uk/product/heritage-xl-range-invisible-rustic-oak-4-15-x-260-x-2200mm/ I would avoid it being too "Matchy" by varying the Plank Size: If your cabinets are a shaker style, use wide-plank engineered wood on the floor (or vice-versa). And varying the finish: If cabinets are matte, choose a lightly textured or brushed oak floor to add a tactile difference.
