Floor tiles for white kitchen

2 months ago

Hello,
We are renovating our kitchen - will have mat white minimalist slab doors, off white quartz worktop and gloss white splashback. We would like to get a dark walnut wooden effect porcelain tiles to go with it (also matching the colour of the flooring in the rest of the flat - walnut wooden floor).

Any suggestions are welcome!

Many thanks

So there's walnut flooring and you want tiles to match? Will the floors meet?

White Kitchen floor tiles?

I have very light (almost white) tiles in my kitchen now, and so am used to the practical element. I like Limestone finishes, but as the house is a new build I'd be concerned that the house finish and the limestone wouldn't 'gel' well. Now, if I had a cute country retreat... :-)

Will beige floor tiles in a white kitchen look washed out?

Have you got samples of all the finishes and put them together on a board? The combination of high gloss white, grey granite and stainless steel sounds great. From your description the grey tiles sound better than the the beige ones, both because there will be a bit of contrast between the units and the floor and because they will be in the same "cool neutral" palette. I don't think dark tiles would necessarily be a problem if the walls were white or a light colour. As there is some gloss to the tiles they will reflect some light. It also depends on how much light is coming into the room.

Have you considered polished concrete floor if you are so keen on a grey floor? With tile/concrete floor, you might want to consider underfloor heating though. Alternatively, Jordan Andrews supply a whole range of different timber tones and will have a range of greys as well if you check out their website.

Claudia Raperport - Your kitchen looks really nice. Where did you get your floor from? honeypoppet - Very good point about the tiles. We have some green samples coming this week. If we don't love them I think we will play it a bit more safe with white/grey tiles. Man About The House - The DIY & Odd Job Handyman - Those tiles look really nice. They are currently sold out but should be back in stock soon. I don't suppose you have any pictures of them in your daughters kitchen? Floor Monster - Currently checking your website and I may request some samples/

You will probably not be able to get a perfect match between floors. I would choose a different tile.

My sister has dark chestnut wood effect porcelain tiles in her kitchen but she chose a patterned tile in her hall and utility. The only way you can see if they will match is to get samples of your proposed floor maybe?

Even if you managed to get an acceptable match tone wise they are still two different materials and most likely of different thicknesses. I would chose something contrasting and make the join as neat as possible maybe in a straight line stopping at a convenient point or feature.

When the floors meet, i agree with the above, pick a different color and texture. For example a medium dark travertin (-look), so the warmth continues without mismatching.

Not the best example, but you get the idea:

Thank you all for your suggestions - would you pick for the kitchen a tile which doesn’t have a wood effect? Or stick to the wood effect but if different colour?
