Flooring Design Dilemma

Sourcing Plain Mid-Grey floor tiles for Inside and Out

Esther Jury Landscape and Garden Design

Hello

Some help please. I am looking for mid-grey floor tiles for inside and out that are mid-grey colour, or possibly darker, but without speckles, pattern or textures. I want them to feel nice underfoot as the room will have underfloor heating. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thank you.

I had the same problems when choosing our kitchen floor - 2 black cats shedding, careless cook (him!) and wanting to extend the floor outside. After long searches, we ended up with these tiles from Porcelanosa, I think they're called Venis Cemento (not sure though, sorry) - http://www.porcelanosa.com/gb/floor-tiles/porcelain-tiles.php They are apparently frost resistant and great at not showing much; I cannot always tell when it's dirty or dusty. I don't know how they behave outside, as the (later) design of our garden asked for larger slabs, so we bought some grey slate from the Mandarin Stone. Anyway, I think grey in general is a great colour for a kitchen floor - it goes with almost everything, doesn't show dust, water stains, etc. (please ignore the mess in our kitchen...)

What colour and type of floor tiles?

Hi Donna, the world is your oyster really, your kitchen sounds quite neutral so you can go for almost anything. Gillian is right there are lots of porcelain wood effect tiles around these days and some look better than others. Porcelain tiles are very practical and hardwaring and easy to keep clean. Think about the look you are trying to achieve, do you want the floor to look ultra plain or would you consider a concrete/stone effect tile? Stone effect tiles can look stunning and will hide a multitude of sins, necessary if you have children or animals in the house. Natural stone is also a possibility but these do require more maintenance. Hope that gives you a few ideas. Have a look through our website for more inspiration. Karen

Thanks to all who offered advice. The samples arrived and the space invader fabric was our favourite. None of the cube patterns were quite right. Do you think i could skip lining fabric since it is already so thick? I think it might be too bulky for a blind with lining too. The other thing I wanted is some general styling advice. I don't know whether I'm going to be able to pull off the look I was originally going for and i keep getting sidetracked by other things I also like. My original idea was a contemporary classic kitchen with a bit of an edge. So we have light grey shaker doors on bottom, then handleless white slab on top. Flooring probably wood effect herringbone vinyl. Walls will be off white and backsplash behind job will be very pale neutral zellige tiles. Handles will be more industrial style, I like quite a few from dowsing & Reynolds, probably in bronze so quite dark. Then there will be a built in bench with dark blue cushion on the seat and across the back. Table I would like something mid or dark wood and contemporary but I've also liked mid century style ones I've seen. And chairs are undecided but maybe black. Worktops are marble effect Quartz (white with grey veining) and an upstand and sink is undermount stainless steel. I have already bought pendants for above the dining table, they are patterned glass with a black ceiling cord. I can't tell whether I'm going to be able to make this work or just end up with an odd collection of styles which don't quite work and feel disappointed with it.

Yes you’re right about that Love your home bed, the wings are deeper than our wardrobes (which are half recessed) so if we had little shelf bedsides they’d be really hard to reach, we‘d have to sit up and reach around the wings. If I’m honest I don’t think we can face doing anything too complicated like false wall or moving the sockets to allow for the full width headboard! New lights.... maybe... husband is predictably Not Keen. So, I think that boils it down to the naturalmat Prideaux bed, in linen 😁 with the bigger headboard size if they will do that. I’m up for painting that section of wall though - we could either use the mid grey green shown on the door, or a much darker grey green (the mid is Blanket and the dark is Squid Ink, both Paint & Paper library). If we use the mid paint then the bed colour would be dark and vice versa. Linen curtains - need to look at all my samples in the room later on today! Not heard of vinterior, I will have a browse. 😁 Yes I hope the cat is real!
