Kitchen flooring dilemma

We have been slowly renovating our kitchen since we bought the house 2 years ago. We desperately need a new
floor but are in a pickle as to what to lay down. I think I would like wide, light coloured wood. The problem is that the kitchen is connected to the hallway and the dining room which are both oak. If I added another wood would this look weird? Do I have to do tile? Is it worth it to put under floor hearing? There is no heat source in this room and with the solarium needing to be replaced it's freeeeezimg in winter. What would you do? Help!

Help with kitchen and patio flooring dilemma
Comments (4)We've just had the same dilemma, we also have underfloor heating. We've decided to go with grey wood effect porcelain tiles which can be used inside and out. Apart from concrete, porcelain seemed to be the only option we found. I've been told they are very difficult to damage, although obviously not impossible, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I have ceramic tiles in my utility room and they have been cracked twice but the porcelain tiles in my bathroom have been fine despite a few bottles being dropped on them....See MoreColour and flooring dilemma for grey and blue kitchen
Comments (5)I would suggest porcelein wood effect tiles too. They are tough and easy to clean and some are incredibly realistic. They come in every colour from white to deepest mahogany. I always think wooden look floors look so good wth grey or blue units. My stepdaughter has them with UFH and she is very pleased With them. Walls - i actually like white, but you could go pale grey and paint one or two end walls in a bolder colour? Wall tiles are a very personal thing, but how about small geometrics in white? Nice clean look but a bit more funky than metros. Here’s some pics. FEATURE WALL PORCELAIN WOOD AFFECT TILES CUTE HEXAGONAL WALL TILES...See MoreGround Floor Kitchen and Rear Extension Layout Dilemma
Comments (3)Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your feedback and alternative solution. I like the way you've moved the kitchen around as it really helps to utilise the space well. I think our issue is that we have too many things we want to include on the list to have on the ground floor: 1. Formal Living Room 2. Dining Room 3. Lounge/TV Room 4. Guest Bedroom 5. Kids Playroom 6. Utility/Boot Room 7. Kitchen 8. Toilet 9. Guest Shower/Toilet I've uploaded the floor plan again with the rooms in their preferred locations, but will be flexible if another more flowing plan can come about. The window where the Boot Room is actually meant to be a door, to quickly access the garden if there is a need without having to open up the bi-fold doors. So if the kitchen was to be moved across into the boot room corner, access to the door will be required. Currently the Boot Room space is about 4m long, we have thought of reducing it to 3m and push all the rooms below it up a little so we can have more space in the Play room and Guest bedroom. Any other alternatives /ideas would be greatly appreciated....See MoreKitchen flooring dilemma
Comments (14)Thanks @izzyjenes been in the house 2 1/2 years and can’t believe we didn’t do it earlier. The whole house (apart from kitchen) is the original floor boards. We decided to carpet a couple of the bedrooms and there was a pile of vinyl ends and we were surprised at the selection. I’m defo going to consider vinyl when we do our kitchen ( no time soon). Good luck with your project. X...See More
