Howdens burford stone - help with floor and tiles!

We are having our kitchen re done as well as changing our conservatory into a proper room. The conservatory leads off the kitchen and it is L shaped. We are having a Sky pod in the roof of the 'extension' so should be light and airy.
We we are settled on the Howdens burford stone kitchen with a white granite top (as per the pic ---which is not mine but the exact combo we have chosen also!!!) but need help picking the right floor!
We have 2 small children and so it needs to be child friendly and not show every fleck of dirt! Any suggestions? I think too pale would not have a contrast and too dark would ruin the softness but what about oak flooring? It will run through both rooms and the kitchen/diner is approx 5x3 and the extension/conservatory is 3.4x2.8.
will oak flooring be too much with white worktops?
also what does everyone think on light worktops (as per the picture) with a black composite sink?
and we really like metro tiles but what colour? Taupe/grey?
thank you in advance!

HELP!!! Kitchen extension - what colour floor tiles??
Comments (25)Hi Jemma, I agree with option 1 from your choices, would definitely work:-) but just to throw a cat in amongst the pigeons... Have you considered rubber flooring at all? Some excellent options available now, clean lines, you can choose to have it look like what it is, or mimic tiles or timber. Gives the best of both worlds as looks good & much softer under foot - just a thought :-)...See MoreKitchen cabinet colour - Howdens Stone
Comments (16)Thanks for this. Our kitchen has just been ordered so I am too late but I love their new colours!! I actually changed from what I had posted here, I've gone for burford white with the titanium granite worktop but worktop has leathered rather than polished finish and natural oak (engineered) floor. Going to go for a sort of industrial glam look I think. The build has been delayed a few times but looking at July completion now. Fingers crossed!...See MoreHowden's Kitchen Dilemma
Comments (13)This is my kitchen so gives you an idea of real world application as opposed to showroom. I've just snapped it so the LED lights give the phones camera a slightly off tone colour but you get the idea. Excuse the scruffy nature but its nearly 11pm and I'm not cleaning it :) We have the stone colouring and the light oak effect worktop. I mentioned to someone the other day about this, and if you go for it, make sure you get the square edge version rather than the bull nose as it looks a little more authentic. The flooring is 12mm Kronotex Phalsbourg Oak and has the small groove on the board edges to make it pass for engineered wood. It was all laid on self-adhesive sound deadening sheets which tie it all together and eliminate the "click-clack" you usually get with laminate floors. Being 12mm thick its pretty substantial and this also helps with sound control. The lights are the Halers H2 Pro - warm white (3000k) which are what you'll want, the higher temp ones look very artificial....See MoreHowden's Burford Stone/Cashmere
Comments (3)I hope you find a little inspiration here, we are also using oak on this ongoing & exciting project. Please give us a shout if you need help with the overall design. Much love from Andreea De Mirabela Design Tel 07814 100108...See More

7 years agoI actually have the same worktop as you and went for white crackle glaze metro tiles with white grout but four years later, really wish I'd gone for a mid grey or pebble coloured grout because I'm forever bleaching the white grout. It has discoloured over time. If you wanted a country look you could have a mix of white, grey and taupe metro tiles as per pic.

7 years agoSince your floor will also be in the dining area, take your furniture there into consideration too when picking out your floor.
I was wondering about the black sink too, not sure if that will ruin the light and airy look you're going for, so I searched for black sink pics on Houzz.

7 years agoI have a similar colour kitchen in gloss with quartz white platinum worktops and have grey wood effect tiles which I love. This is where we got them from http://www.tradepricetiles.co.uk/treverk-way-frassino-wood-effect-150-x-900mm/ We also have them in our hallway and our patio. (The second photo is our kitchen before the furniture was put in)
