Please help with advice on kitchen floor!

last month

Our new kitchen is nearing completion and I’m finding it so hard to decide on flooring. We’ll probably go with LVT for practicality but there’s just too much choice In design / colours. I don’t want the room to look too clinical, the units are matte cashmere. I know the choice of worktop won’t be popular but we like it, it’s got copper colours in it and I didn’t want the usual white quartz. Any advice would be really helpful.

Just picked this out quickly as an example. It might be nice to go for a warm brown/red shade which would coordinate well with the copper in the worktop. However it might make the room appear darker so you would need to factor this in.

I think a dark grey, almost black wood would look great in this space! It would really add a moody vibe to the space. I think this would also look dead elegant and luxury.

Hope this helps and I wish you look on transforming your space into hopefully something you love :) If you have any other design dilemmas, my Instagram is @hanhulmedesigns and I'd be more than happy to help, I'm not charging as it's a hobby currently :) !

I'm with Minnie101 and Provencale in that with base units in the top shade you'd need a darker, contrasting shade to avoid something "almost but not quite" blending in. If you see the opposite in effect here, where the client wanted to use a very light tile with a beige unit (a very tricky combination) we spent time looking at the 2 colours next to each other but held at 90 degrees so we could see what the contrast was between the flat floor tile and the vertical panels etc. It turned out to be just enough to create a difference of tone.

Rubber tiles or sheet work on floor that is dead level. I prefer ceramic tiles.

Kitchen extractor design advice and help please

Hi Gemma. Our old kitchen had a similar problem with the extractor reaching the outside wall via a run along the top of a series of wall cabinets. As we didn't want a the same problem we redesigned our new kitchen with the hob on the opposite side of the room on an outside wall. It now works much more efficiently as the extracted air is sucked out immediately behind the extraction unit.

How about a pale concrete effect? https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1211-anti-slip-stone-effect-hometex-by-envy.html Perhaps a solid pale grey to go with the grout. Or dark if that's your style: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/camaro-loc-3453-black-shadow.html Dark wood effect: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/0562-anti-slip-wood-effect-felt-back-vinyl-flooring.html And if Marina's suggestion (which I find lovely) is too much of the same for you, a pattern could work: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1600-stone-effect-vinyl-picasso-by-envy.html

Hello,

Mid-brown oak is the way to go I think. It's timeless, easy to live with and adds warmth.

I would go with plank design rather than parquette, but I't just my preference.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you @studiomoodetc, @Jo Bloggs, & @Hannah Hulme. Do you think this one’s too rustic? We’ve got to make a decision soon!

Hello,

I think it's a nice tone of wood.

It might work well with your space depending on the vibe you're going for.

If you're not sure about this one something try finding something a little bit less knotty. :)

Thank you so much, I’m trying to keep away from anything too modern as the rest of the kitchen is very plain at the moment. I appreciate your comment about the tone, it’s nice to have an experts opinion. I think we might just go for that one, I don’t think I can cope with anymore samples!

Hello,

If you're looking to break the modernity of this space this floor should be fine then.

Yes - it's easy to get burried under the heap of samples and get one's brain to melt ;)

At some poiint you just have to say stop and chose from what you have already collated.

If you're after adding a more lived-it warmth to your home, and it will be carried throughout, this floor should work well :)

All the best with your project,

Jarek

I think it would help to see the samples you’re considering, placed on to of the worktop. Then you’ll see how well they go together, I realise the floor and worktop don’t actually touch but in my opinion it will help us to advise. I think the oak LVT you have photographed is too yellowy.

Thank you @Betty Boo, I’ve attached some samples, I think there’s just too much choice and that makes the decision even harder. If we don’t make up our minds soon we won’t get it done in time for Christmas!

Sorry to ask again but can we see your samples propped up in a line leaning against your unit doors, in the best light possible. And a photo of your worktop.

Just realised how they look in different lighting!

In the photo you sent when they were grouped together, they all looked quite grey but now you’ve propped them up against your door they do look very yellow. Both your worktop and the cashmere door are saying grey to me. Would you agree? If so then I think you should take off one off the drawer fronts and go back to the supplier to try it against some of the grey LVT samples in the shop. Take them outside into the daylight too. I don’t think you should rush this choice, a new floor is for life not just Christmas! 🤭

Just be careful not to ovedo the greys. I had a feeling you wanted a floor that would break the contemporary feel of the kitchen?

Go with what feels right to you.

I think browns translate way better into cosy homely feel than greys, so it's really about your feel more at home with.

Hope this helps :)

Thank you @studiomoodetc, I really don’t like greys at all. I think we’ll stick with the rustic one and hope it doesn’t look yellow. I really appreciate your comments, they’ve helped a lot.

You are welcome. :)

And if you end up feeling like the new floor might be a bit too yellow - don't panic. Give it a little time and look into changing the lighing temperature or putting something very yellow in the space so you see how very little yellow it is. ;)

It's the same thing as with whites when you look at a color swatch and it just seems white. But when you put it next to something pure white only then you see that your swatch wasn't white at all.

Have fun with your space - you've got this! :)
