White and black cork flooring in a kitchen?

8 months ago

Has anyone installed coloured cork flooring in a kitchen? I'm tempted by the white and black chequered corka flooring from the Colour Flooring Company. It looks great in the photos, and the sample is nice. However, I'm a bit worried that the white and black colour is going against the natural character of the material. A while and black floor with brown scuffs where the finish has worn off doesn't sound all that appealing.

Im not sure, black and white flooring isn’t to my taste. Looks like an advert for Flash. A more hardwearing choice would be porcelain if you want something tougher.

I would not go for cork based flooring and agree that the colours are a bit flash ad-ish. People use porcelain tiles in bathrooms for a good reason.

If you are keeping the skirting consider painting it the same colour as the floor to trick your eye into thinking the floor area is bigger.

Hello Anna in a small space I would stick to white walls and bring the colour out in your accessories. I would choose a white fridge and applicances these are easier to keep clean than stainless steel. You could add your favourite bright colour for the coffee pots. I have a small black and white kitchen and have highlights of red (that's my favourite colour). You could add any bright with black and white. Bright green, yellow, turquoise blue or orange. Depending on the type of blind you choose you could add a striped black and white blind or geometric. Keep it simple but stylish.

All are great in their own right! I think the juxtaposition between black and light wood flooring is great.

I would say either of the wood options for interest, however, that would look darker in there than the white floor, but i don't like white glossy floors.....................a little naff and for lovers of cleaning. ( Sorry any white kitchen floor owners )

For those of us that worry that tiled floors are hard and uncomfortable to stand on while cooking, worry that they are cold underfoot, worry that they chip or crack if you drop anything cork seems like a super idea.

I suspect the colour is dyed/stained meaning it goes all the way through and won’t rub off- so I think you just need to satisfy yourself that it’s practical and easy to clean. And if it were me I would wonder if black and white is too severe and if chocolate brown and pale grey might be easier to live with

Choosing the right flooring can be tricky as all floors have pros and cons.

As an engineered wood flooring specialist, we would always recommend Engineered Oak over Cork or Bamboo. As engineered wood is more hard-wearing with more options and thicknesses available.

However, the final decision always rests with the customer.

We stock over 150 different flooring options, please feel free to take a look at our website.

If you have questions or would like to discuss your project please feel free to get in touch:
