Hi Pamela, what type of wood flooring do you have, and is it suitable for the new kitchen area, as ideally you'd have one type straight through. If it's not suitable, then stay away from laminates as the quality and style could clash with the wood. Maybe go for a good tile............normally i'd say porcelain, but dogs can skid on that as the grip isn't to good for them. You've gone for a black and white theme and tying it in with wood can difficult as they two colour schemes don't gel well. How about a wood effect, but grey tone tile. The textures would look similar, but be different?? This tile below has the grey tones, but also introduces a little brown to tie the two areas together. Introducing an accessory colour in the kitchen which works well with the lounge will also help with the transition. LInk to wood effect tile

Can you find out what the original batch number was. You may be able to find some from a different supplier that is the same or a closer batch than the one you currently have. The batch numbers often have two or three sets of numbers, one may relate to texture, another to shade and another to overall size. You should decide which needs to match most. I am guessing shade and get the closest to that. Hope this helps

Hi Heena, have you considered a real wood floor for the kitchen? There's nothing quite like the natural character of the real thing. Wood flooring also has long-term reliability and can add real value to your home. There's no need to worry about the practicality of wood in a kitchen either. As long as any spills are cleaned up quickly, wood is perfectly suitable for the environment (:
