Choosing the right colour floor - help!

7 years ago

Hi Houzz community. We are doing an extension which will run across the back of the house with bi-fold doors on to patio. The kitchen counter top is a white macaubas (horizontal veining) and we are having built kitchen cabinets which we are painting - may be a rich grey for peninsula cabinets and a lighter grey on the opposite run. Now we are stuck with floor selection. We like limestone (brushed or tumbled) but much of what we see has a cream/gold base which we don't think will sit well with the grey cabinets and white macaubas. Having said that, photos on Houzz showing the macaubas contradicts this thought. Any opinions greatly appreciated - we are driving ourselves crazy! Many thanks!

I think I would go with the purbeck stone. I have elephants breath but it can be warm in South facing rooms and as your flooring is really warm I'd go for a contrast. I wouldn't go for the Hardwick for the same reason. Maybe get testers of both though to see how it works? The Dulux looks nice but I think a deeper contrast with the White may work better i

Hi there! I like the tiles! May be your temptation to paint the whole place white is a good idea. I think Vanilla White from Dulux will look nice and bright up the space. Your can use cobalt carpet for staircase and you have plenty of possibilities to be original with art or pictures and accessories.

What about a bespoke rug made from a cream coloured carpet with a mink / black border? We have a great 'Make me a rug' designer on our website where you can have a play, but here are a couple of combinations that we loved! http://www.alternativeflooring.com/rugsrunners/make_me_a_rug

Hi Getty Welty What a shame about the worktop but I think it's almost a blessing in disguise. Once you have settled on the worktop my advice would be to take samples of the cupboards & worktop to a tile shop and look at them altogether. You really need to see a large tile together with the other samples to appreciate the overall look. A 10 x 10 sample is only a representation of the whole tile and the colour changes on a larger scale. We always advise our customers to do that if possible as its really important to make sure the overall tones work well together. Good luck with it all Karen
