What dining table goes with wooden work-surfaces and wooden floor?

5 years ago
We have just knocked through to make a kitchen/diner and have put in a new kitchen. We have wooden work-surfaces and a wooden floor and are struggling to know what type of dining table would suit the room. We need one that extends (6-8people) roughly 160-200cmW and 90cmD.
Would one like this work? We are both rubbish with visualising. I like wooden tables but think it would look too much. Do we need to avoid wood altogether or can we get away with one with a wooden top?
Below are some photos of the space (I don't have any of it finished).
Thank you so much!

What colour floor goes well with a High gloss White Kitchen
Comments (11)If you are working with white and grey already I think it would be good to introduce some colour warmth via the floor. An engineered timber floor would be warm underfoot but if you have underfloor heating them perhaps some natural clay tiles treated with boiled linseed oil. This looks beautiful and is warmer underfoot that normal glazed ceramic tiles but does require occasional maintenance, not unlike a timber floor....See MoreWill this wood floor go with the mood board and existing features in a
Comments (6)Thank you the room is a through room between the hall and the stairs then the lounge. which are are open plan though I am thinking of a built in shelf unit under the landing beam. There is a lot of light in the day through the large picture windows either side. The wood is from the Woodpecker range and is Flink Dark Oak Plank. I would also have a rug along the floor where the main walk way is possibly. The house is an old cottage which has been extended and features added like beams and brick. I am looking to update it but keep the features. I have attached a photo of my downstairs cloakroom as an example!...See MoreA wow table that is not wood

Comments (8)Solid wood floor typically isn't recommended in a kitchen, the changes in temperature and humidity can cause the floor to expand and contract. Having said that my brother had parquet fitted 3 years ago in the whole of downstairs and it hasn't been an issue at all (so far!) . It is a large room though with lots of ventilation, extraction, door openings etc. Engineered wood is recommended however, it may still contract etc but only by a minimal amount and the small expansion gap left around the perimeter is sufficient. You would still need to mop up any spills straightaway and I would recommend ordering slightly over the recommended surplus amount. I'm not sure if this affects all engineered floors (or whether I chose badly so may be worth asking!) but I had a few knots in some of the planks which were "filled" by the manufacturer and over time the Hoover etc knocks out the "filler" which doesn't look great so basically if I was doing it again I would just discard any planks with knots in if you want the floor to remain looking good. i really like some of the LVT's but they do differ enormously even within the same brand as to what looks realistic. I might consider the architecture of the building with LVT, what period is it?, personally I would use the "design strips" between the planks to make it look more realistic. Is the kitchen already fitted? I ask as my mum had LVT fitted when she had her kitchen done and the planks just run up to the plinths on the units finished with a line of mastic which personally I'm not keen on. i don't think you can go wrong with a herringbone or chevron (which I slightly prefer) floor though. They're a classic and tend to make a space feel larger (your eyes aren't drawn to the straight lines of planks). I don't know the layout of the kitchen and whether you have an island but the pattern can tend to work in either direction whereas planks sometimes won't. I'm also not keen on "washing" wood floors too frequently but given there aren't pets that shouldn't be a concern. good luck!...See More
