Flooring help!!
We are coming to the end of fitting our new kitchen dining room area and have had very easy colour decisions / views in colour scheme (grey and rose gold / copper theme) up to now! The kitchen is painted with a lighter grey and dining room is mellow mocha and feature dark grey wall. We are now struggling to agree on and find a floor to flow through and match the traditional with modern twist. Would love any suggestions on style and colour (Dark? Light? Pattern etc) that you can suggest. The table may be changed or painted so that does not need to be factored in. We cannot have real tiles due to floor surface. Thanks all in advance.

Comments (4)I recommend getting a local specialist flooring company in to lay flooring to match up with your existing flooring....See MoreFlooring help - which material or brand?
Comments (8)I have to agree with the other comments, Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) would be a perfect floor for your home. Many people are having this type of flooring installed throughout the ground floor of their homes because it is hard wearing, easy to clean and affordable. Moduleo and Karndean are popular brands, both offer several products ranges which include a variety of wood and stone effect tiles. Alternatively take a look at Harvey Maria, they have some stunning designs that look really good in hallways, kitchens and bathrooms....See MoreFlooring help - Amtico Form Barrel Oak Cotton
Comments (5)Hi Andrew, our supplier quoted for fitting - £37 per sq m (£15 per sq m smoothing compound, £2 per sq m adhesive, £20 per sq m straight lay installation). I would be interested to hear how that compares with what you have been quoted for fitting....See MoreKitchen / diner flooring Help?
Comments (2)I have had wood effect tiles throughout an open plan kitchen / dining/living area which works very well with underfloor heating, very durable, and so easy to clean. ( also nice to have a cool floor when it is hot) My daughter has engineered wood throughout which has a great feel underfoot, but she has to pay attention to cleaning up every splash immediately. She has not had to refinish in 5 years. In my new house I have LVT throughout which is durable, easy to clean, works with underfloor heating and feels softer underfoot. Because of the different looks and thicknesses it would be very difficult to make wood and tiles look seamless. Do let us know which you choose...See More- 9 years ago

PRO9 years agoHi Alannah, your kitchen looks lovely. I would go for mid range colours - not too dark or light. Have you considered polished concrete? It is hard wearing and low maintenance - great for kitchens
I hope this helps

PRO9 years agoHi
How about these tiles, colour ties in with your units while adding some personality.
Both tiles above are from Laura Ashley.Or these from Porcelanosa
Or Porcelanosa also do a wood effect tile - looks like wood but easier to maintain.Shannon

PRO9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoHi Alannah, we think a grey wood herringbone would be just the thing for the 'traditional with a modern twist' style that you're looking for. It'll make a nice complement to all the other grey shades in the room and it's fairly light so will bring contrast to the space too. Our Feather Oak is brand new. It's 15mm thick and engineered for excellent stability. Free samples are available from our website: https://woodpeckerflooring.co.uk/product/goodrich-feather-oak/
Good luck finishing off the project :)

9 years agoI've said it before on here, but Floor Monster are great - we have their chevron engineered oak parquet in our living room.
Your kitchen colour is begging for a wood floor. It may be too late to do this, but the original floorboards can be filled with old pine slivers, sanded and treated with Osmo Floor Protector and Osmo PolyX oil (or similar) for a lovely, kitchen friendly finish. It's what we'll be doing in our new home.
Parquet will really suit that kitchen, though. This is the stuff in our living room (excuse overexposed estate agent photo - I shall try to find something better)

Really nice colour choice for the cabinets. Reclaimed oak boards would look really nice, and would add a rustic but modern twist. More tones here: https://www.bathbespoke.co.uk/flooring/styles-of-floors/
