Flooring and countertop

7 years ago

Hello,
This is a beautiful kitchen.

1) Is this maple flooring?

2) What color hardwood floor is this? Where can I find it?

3) Where can I find this countertop?

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for your questions about this project. The flooring is walnut with a custom stain. You should be able to work with a custom wood flooring contractor to get a stain that works in your house. The interior designer specified the counter, and we will see if we can get more information about it.

Hi. I'm not sure if you want to paint the units and island the same or perhaps paint the ŵall units a different colour to blend into the ŵalls? I would go for either a greige or a green to tie the cream and dark grey. F&B elephants breath is nice (can look dark in some rooms depending on the light though). it would also look nice paired with brinjal on the island although I may be tempted to change the worktop then :( Ball green or mizzle by F&B may also work. Little Greene have some lovely colours and would be my preferred paint choice for kitchen cabinets. Kitchen green is nice or maybe normandy green paired with theatre red for the island. Have you considered actually removing the ŵall units depending on how much storage you need and perhaps adding some shelves on the window side as I think it will really open up the space? If you're painting perhaps a change of handles? My personal choice would be just to remove the tiles and use washable paint on the ŵalls. You shouldn't get too many splashes with the upstand unless you're like me with an electric whisk and it depends where you do most of your prep work. It looks as if it will be a great room

If they are different woods even if they match now they are unlikely to always match as different woods age and discolour at different rates. In my opinion choose something that is not supposed to match such as a tile.

You'll get more responses if you repost this in the design dilemas bit. There's no images or dimesions to go from but here's my thoughts, bearing in mind budget is a big consideration: - Kitchen Leave the windows as they are, you can create a sense of light with reflective materials and light colours. Leave the slate floor - it's hardwearing and easy to clean You could try replacing just the cupboard door fronts, as long as the carcasses themselves are in good shape - if budget doesn't allow then you could paint them a pale grey instead to match the floor. Replace the work surfaces with a light counter top. Shop around for appliances - there are some great places local to me that do slight seconds, you can grab a bargain and often it's just there's a scratch on the side or top where you won't see it anyway. Bathroom There are some great space saving bathroom ideas out there . Some people don't mind not having a bath but bear in mind you could reduce your appeal to some renters if you take it out and you'll definitely reduce the property's saleability (this may not worry you if you're in it for the long term). Ask a local estate agent for their advice - they'll know the local market better. I'm pretty sure there was a story about the owners of this house, where they took the bath out to create this lovely shower room - I can't find the story but there's a link to the project below - it's a great example of how to do it well https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/villa-refurbishment-glasgow-contemporary-bathroom-glasgow-phvw-vp~58208653

Hi, here are a couple of mixed countertops examples. I like your floor. See if you can take the cabinets all the way up to the ceiling. Looks better, gives more storage space (even if you can only reach it using a stepladder). The floor doesn't limit you on the cabinet colours. See if you can take door samples home and hold them on the floor (vertically, so it shows the colour as it would be when installed). Do the same with countertop samples. Put them all together and make your choice. Or post photos and ask opinions here, if you can't make a choice at all :-) A light countertop will reflect more light, make the kitchen seem brighter. You can mix that with a dark wood. I will see if I can find one of the pro houzzers to look at your dilemma, so they can give you answers to the more technical questions. No promises, but I'll try :-)
