which way to lay our kitchen wood floor?
Comments (7)Hi Jaclyn, we always recommend laying the flooring in the direction of your light source. The effect is more attractive and can help to emphasise those beautiful grain patterns and natural textures that we love about wood flooring. As your kitchen is longer than it is wide, you'll be able to lay a good few lengths down the room and this will look really impressive as you walk in. We wouldn't worry about this meaning the planks are laid a different way to your living room - it's how the room looks when you're in it that counts!

Comments (29)If you haven't already decided, if you are really keen to have two types of flooring, have a break at the mid point of the island - I can see why you might want the business end of the kitchen in something different. But don't have a rug - it would be a trip hazard - and flooring comes in so many different forms that you prob should be able to find a solution that works - engineered oak is coated in a non porous finish - so if spills are mopped no prob - and tiles are easy too.

Comments (9)Hello, Your options are to choose a pre- finished product, in which case the supplier should be able to send you samples (as honeypoppet says), or buy unfinished boards - in which case you should work with your fitter to test finishes. For example, on this project we sanded down the existing boards and finished with Osmo - one coat of white and one of clear - this gives a 'wash' rather than 'paint' finish: https://www.houzz.co.uk/hznb/projects/rachel-ec1-2-bedroom-flat-pj-vj~5633340 More advice on types of wood finish here: https://absoluteprojectmanagement.com/wooden-flooring-part-2-aesthetic-choices/...See Morewood slab kitchen, can I still have a wood effect floor?
Comments (7)It could work if the floor is much paler, as in the example below, but it’s tricky. I think a nice pale grey or pale beige floor would be less of a clash. Laminate comes in many styles, not just wood effect, so worth visiting some flooring stockists to have a look. Or how about LVT which is warmer underfoot and seems to be very popular?
