Kitchen Colours - Floor tiles cabinets and worktops dilema
Dear all we are redesigning our kitchen and have selected the Clerkenwell contemporary gloss finish for the cabinet doors .
We are drawn to both the dove grey and the colours cannot settle on what colour floor tile to use either of the above
As far as floor tiles go we have selected 2 colours, one being taupe the other Nepal black which is a dark grey or anthracite colour.
we have brought a sample of the dove grey and a sample of the cashmere and put them to the tiles and just stare at them indecisivelily.
the taupe compliments the cashmere and the Nepal black contrasts strongly with the dove grey.
taupe and cashmere both warm
Nepal black and grey both cold
i jest can’t make a call on this and would welcome any advice or guidance.
some images of the doors and tiles follow
firstly the cashmere and dove grey then the tiles.
Then Our tiles
taupe
Black

Comments (13)I wouldn’t go for polished tiles - nightmare to keep clean (apparently) according to a couple I met who don’t even have kids or a dog to encourage the muck Love the wood effect flooring with your room and it really would warm it all up. I presume it’s the vinyl tiles you are looking at rather than a large tool of vinyl? Lots of people on here have both UFH with the vinyl tiles and say it’s great! Bear in mind that the vinyl will be warmer to touch in winter and summer than any tiles without the UFH on - so that’s worth considering in case you are like us and don’t have the heating on 24/7...See MoreSuitable colours to lighten dark kitchen worktop
Comments (5)Hi Elizabeth, I proposed a colour scheme for you as that is usually where people struggle to "match" the granite. I proposed Farrow & Ball Colours but most paint counters will match to Farrow & Ball Anyway, if you want to keep costs down. I included two options for the lower half. You said you wanted to keep it light and the wall and top cabinet colour I proposed would work below as well. I just thought it would be nice to have a darker colour option just in case you changed your mind. Don't forget that high gloss surfaces will bounce light around the room. This means that lighting and the type of finish you propose will be critical to the end result. Also be ware if you are painting the cupboards yourself that silk paint will show up every imperfection! I hope this helped you. Good luck! Jo x...See Moreshould the floor colour match the worktop?
Comments (12)Hi Liz, That's certainly a fun floor but we'd agree that it takes the attention from the striking worktop. 'Greige' engineered boards would create a subtle base, complementing the colour of the units and the walls, while adding a touch of warmth too. Here are some ideas for when you come to the end of living vicariously through your vinyl :) Dune Oak Chepstow Planed Grey Oak Raglan White Smoked Oak You can take a closer look at any of these with free samples from our website.

6 years agoWell we have come full circle from a dark floor to a light floor - Nepal Grey 75 x 75 floor tiles then dove grey doors and Wilsonart zenith manganese 12.5mm high pressure laminate worktops. Well hit the contrast on the worktop and splash back. Only decision left is wall colour

6 years agoHey Carole I found that with the cashmere everything was just too pink hued. Whilst I like it’s warmth the grey offers more choice wrt to tile colours. My image above was in yellow light so doesn’t really show very well. May this one with 3 choices of zenith worktops is better
