I think white tiles could be a little clinical if it's also a living area. Dark floors will darken a room but it really depends how much light you have in the room. They are however a nightmare to keep clean. I would go for wood, as it will add warmth and texture, but something in a mid tone. As it's also for a kitchen consider an engineered wood as it's less prone to movement with the changes in humidity. Or you could consider karndean or amtico or even a wood effect porcelain tile

Hello bijalpatel,

Dark floors will change the focus slightly as they will add a dramatic feel but does not necessarily equal a dark room.. If you have a lot of light then, they can work well.... If you pair this with lighter walls and some darker woods or other materials for texture you can bring a lot of warmth..

With darker wood consider the grain as this will add texture and look rather nicer that plain polished wood.. Something darker brown with a mixture, would be nicer than almost black.. Consider chalky off white or creamy options for the cupboards or even stone colours...

Concrete is rather wonderful too in kitchens for worktop and sink units...... If keeping to all white then consider adding accessories that bring warmth.. Wooden bowls and marble... Have found a nice image to illustrate. You'll notice the width of the wood and the texture of the grain which is a matt wax rather than gloss varnish.. with lower sheen... It makes a difference.. I don't personally find gloss at all appealing... This image would be lovely with a chrome range oven and wooden mid century chairs...White wooden cupboards with a chalky finish would be fabulous but otherwise the same... Perhaps a different extraction (down draft) would not affect the view! .. : ))
