Inherited travertine wall tiles but not sure what flooring to put down. Currently carpet which I don’t like. Don’t want more travertine on floor. Ideally warm underfoot so vinyl or laminate? But what colour/type?? Would wood same colour as beams look awful? Wondered about Karndean white painted oak but think is too white for rest of room? Suggestions please!

which kitchen wall tiles shall I use
Comments (9)I love the tile tiles (in fact it is the thing I like most about the kitchen) but I think that with black granite it may be a little dark especially with a pale cabinet. Could you have a pale worktop? Given your cabinet and worktop choices I would think a metro tile would be a good choice. Given you are after a modern look I wonder if this is the best cabinet and worktop to choose plus there are some design tweaks that could be made. In my opinion the fridge looks odd flanked by cabinets. Integrated fridges looks more modern but if you are set on the American style fridge consider having larder units and the fridge doesn't have to be completely central. I think it is not practical to have glass cabinets both sides of the hob (because of cooking steam). It would be good to have smaller wall cabinets both sides here so the extractor is not crowded. Lastly this seems to be an extended kitchen but its likely it has no more units than the original pre extension. Would a design with an island be better? If you did have an island you would have more room to have a few things that would make this design more modern such as two built under ovens rather than one small double, you could have a wider hob and extractor, an integrated microwave so that the worktop is not cluttered...See MoreWhich wall tiles to go with these floor tiles for en-suite shower room
Comments (10)Hi Vicki, I would go for bigger tiles, ones that are 60 cm x 30 cm. If you use smaller tiles the outcome may look too busy with your chosen floor tiles. I also suggest choosing very light grey wall tiles, the colour of which matches to the grey background colour of the floor tiles. That would give you the industrial sort of vibe you are aiming to achive. Order different samples and see how the combinations look in your bathroom. The colours can change dramatically depending on the lighting. Kati...See Moreinstalling 16mm Travertine to a dry wall.
Comments (3)You should have a backer yes. Do not tile directly onto a dry wall with natural stone. The plasterboard is not waterproof and will not take the weight of the travertine. Remove the plasterboard and fix a backerboard. The backer can be made from different materials just have a look for what suits your application the best and your good to go....See MoreChange floor tiles from hall to downstairs toilet?

Comments (12)That's interesting colourhappy - we did omit the aqua tiles and put just the taupe with blanco (which has some grey tones in the variations) but it looked a little bland which is why we thought the aqua might liven it up but now I'm thinking you are right and they are too cool for the flagstones....See More
