Kitchen flooring and worktop

5 years ago

I have a white gloss kitchen with walnut flooring and a walnut worktop but we are considering changing worktop to egger grey or white with grey through it but can’t decide on the flooring. We are considering cream ‘partchment Is the colour of floor tiles but worried it won’t go with white. I think white floor tiles will be too cold and worry that grey will go out in a few years and it’s a big job to have to do it again as it’s a kitchen diner So quite a large room.

We are putting cream tiles in our hallway so was considering doing

it all the way through.

If you are changing hallway its always good for consistency and flow to follow through. If you are set on cream tiles not easiest to keep clean but would suggest a cream perhaps granite or caser stone work surface work surface so nice neutral palette you could then easily change paint colours and accessories as and when. Mirror splash backs look great and really open up the space and adding atmosphere if kitchen diner and you have under cabinet lighting? They also come in various shades and finishes i.e. bronze, antique etc. look really good we have used before completely transforms the room. Good luck!

That walnut floor is beautiful! I think if you change the worktop and flooring to a white scheme it can look wish washy. I would change the worktop but keep that gorgeous floor.

Hi Cake lady thanks for your comment. I have considered the wood effect tiles. However the kitchen adjoins a hall which has an oak laminate floor. I'm concerned the two different types of wood will clash. what do you think? Good to know they're low maintenance. I'm steering well away from gloss tiles as spent years trying to keep black gloss tiles clean in our bathroom. Finally replaced last year !

Hi Sarah, Huge rug under dining table - big yes! As I mentioned before, just make sure it it doesn't have a deep pile and is fairly easy to clean / hoover. This will break up the black considerably! The rug size needs to be big enough to pull all your chairs out and they still sit on the rug - that's the minimum right size. Just a thought about finding the right paint colour for your walls and cabinets to brighten everything up. When my family took a trip down to cornwall, we stayed in this lovely cottage in the country-side. The cottage had small little deep windows, so didn't get much light in. However the cottage was so bright, warm & crisp. It had been painted a white that really really worked - white can be tricky to get right. So I called the owners of the cottage to see if they had a paint can laying around so I could find out the exact colour. It was straight Brilliant White - standard paint you can get for kitchens, walls, ceilings, masonry, etc in whatever finish you need (matt, sheen, semi-gloss or gloss). I've used it a couple of times sinse to freshen up or update an area, to make small spaces pop, or just to bring a whole space that crisp - perfect white look to show off art and objects (it is one of the few whites that can do so well as art and objects usually look dull or get lost with a plain white background). This might help with your project as it is the best paint for reflecting light and brightening your areas - but it is bright - so you will have to do a test area to see if it is too bright for you, in which case go with a white toned down from that. Think the rug(s) & the paint colour change of walls & cabinets will work the best for you since you've spent a lot on your interior already and your husband likes it as is - it is hard to justify large costs when your partner thinks it is great and you've already spent a lot.. Good luck!

Hi, its a really nice space I know you mentioned you like the country style, you could incoporporate some wooden paneling similar to the image below for your wall and backsplash as it give a rustic vibe. Alternativly sage green tiles would lokk really nice and still keep the space feeling bright. I think a sage green would work really well with your white units and soften the black cooker (Ive added an image below). It would also work with either the grey floor you currently have or the beige travestine tiles if you did decide to continue them from your hallway. You could then add some sage accents like a clock, lights etc to bring the scheme together (taking inspiration from the below image.) And adding a plant maybe a Fern in a rustic pot will bring the country vibe into your space. Im not sure what your current units are made from but you could look into pianting some of the units to bring the colour scheme together. Hope this helps Louise

Seems a shame to get rid of the floor - it looks stunning. Cream tiles in a high footfall area like a kitchen can be very high maintenance and may just wash everything out. Suggest keeping the floor and changing the worktop to something with brown tones in to work with the floor and tie everything together; Sensa Granite in Bianco Antico is stunning looks like it might blend well. Or Silestone Quartz in Eternal Emperador, Iron Bark, Merope, Noka, Coral Clay or Rougui...pleanty to choose from! The bespoke shelf in this pantry unit is Bianco Antico - it tones well with many cabinet colours...

Also, if you change the floor to cream tiles (I assume you won't be temporarily removing the cabinets to accommodate new floor laying) they won't run wall to wall under the cabinets which could make a future kitchen redesign in terms of layout tricky as the flooring under the current cabinets won't match... : (
