Kitchen Flooring Help! Butchers block and cream.
I am struggling to find a kitchen floor I like. I fell in love with slate but have realised it requires a bit of upkeep which I dont have the time or effort to do, therefore I've been trying to find something similar that is porcelain, LVT etc. However I cannot find something that I love, and have began to doubt even using a slate effect at all. I am looking for advice as to what people think will go well in the kitchen/dining room. It gets a decent amount of light through the patio doors/window (east facing I believe) so I'm not against something dark (I was looking at black slate after all) but have began to wonder if a lighter colour would go better. I have attached photos (excuse the mess). Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

cream or white flooring?
Comments (8)Below are a few cream gloss kitchens we have done, including light & dark grey floors, black & Dakota brown oak with natural stone splash backs. The advice we give customers when choosing a gloss door is to try & not go for polished floor tiles & gloss splash back tiles as it can be a bit much sometimes, so we add some texture through these surfaces. Kind regards Karl...See MoreCream Kitchen Help
Comments (6)I don't think the wallpaper is bad and actually it ties the cream and gray/charcoal colors together. However it does limit your artwork choices. That said, if you do paint you might have hard time as you have a warm brown tone splashback and the floor to contend with. I'd leave the walls alone and after a good declutter I'd look at a new dining set. If budget is an issue you could paint what you have although it will lean more country in style. I'd also consider some sort of floating shelves above what looks like the bar area (radiator?). They have shelves that have the underside for stemware which might be useful. I'd also put a mirror above the fireplace and tilt it slightly upward so it mostly reflects the ceiling. If possible I'd move the refrigerator to where the fish tank is and find a new spot for the fish....See MoreHelp pls:Mixed worktops w/ county kitchen & Moroccan-style floor tiles
Comments (0)Hi, We are finally renovating our kitchen and would like some advice about installing 2 different types of kitchen worktops: granite and wood. We have a smallish J-shaped kitchen and with a separate laundry room which houses the fridge/freezer and washing machine. The style is classical/country cabinet doors in cream/mushroom colour and neutral walls. We have Moroccan style tiles which we installed when we first moved in to brighten up the kitchen, and we would like to retain these (picture included). For cost efficiency, we are considering brown or cream (can’t decide colour!) granite worktops across where the hob and sink will be situated and a dark wood across the 3rd worktop (sample plan attached). Most of the pictures of mix and match countertops on houzz/Pinterest etc seem to involve an island Or breakfast bar, neither of which we have enough space for. Thus would like your feedback on: Will differing worktops work or do they appear too disjointed in a smaller kitchen Advice on granite/quartz worktop colours that will work with the floor tiles. also any advice re: colour scheme for walls/splashback/cabinetry hardware/tiles would be appreciated. most of my kitchen toys ie food processor/kettle/toasrer are grey/black, and the hob/oven/microwave are likely to be grey/black so doesn’t really match with a traditional/country style kitchen! Many thanks in advance...See MoreDo I block up large kitchen hatch or open the whole thing up?
Comments (17)Hi, before you get the sledgehammer out, there’s a house tour on Stories where they extended but kept the original wall and window as a sort of huge serving hatch. It looks amazing! Just go to Stories above and it’s the first story. Worth a look!...See MoreBeth Lemin

6 years agoI would go for patterned tiles - it could really lift it. Especially if you used one with a cream background with t bit of colour in such as blue.

6 years agoHi Beth, would you consider laminate? It's a hardwearing option that's easy to fit over an underlay and wouldn't feel cold underfoot like tiles or stone. It has the lovely effect of real, natural wood and is affordable too.
I agree that a grey or whitened shade would work well in the space. It'll add a nice neutral balance to the cream and darker worktop. Here's some inspiration:

6 years agoWhat do we think? The main colour is quite light which I didn’t think I’d like, but the grey (almost blue) goes well. I’m just not sure about it in the entire dining area too

6 years agoAs much as I like a patterned tile, I think there must be better options for your kitchen.
Either a larger tile with a larger pattern, or what do you think of something like this? http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod43980/indas-rust-tile.html
