7 years agoHi Pamela, what type of wood flooring do you have, and is it suitable for the new kitchen area, as ideally you'd have one type straight through. If it's not suitable, then stay away from laminates as the quality and style could clash with the wood. Maybe go for a good tile............normally i'd say porcelain, but dogs can skid on that as the grip isn't to good for them. You've gone for a black and white theme and tying it in with wood can difficult as they two colour schemes don't gel well. How about a wood effect, but grey tone tile. The textures would look similar, but be different??
This tile below has the grey tones, but also introduces a little brown to tie the two areas together. Introducing an accessory colour in the kitchen which works well with the lounge will also help with the transition.

Comments (6)Marble would still work well in all those areas - luxurious and dramatic! A couple of points to take care with: - Take care if you're option for high gloss, as they can be slippery when wet - If you're opting for a very "white" marble (Carrara or some such), be prepared for it to show every dirty mark and need regular cleaning. If your lifestye can cope with this great - if you have three labrodors and live in a pair of Hunter wellies, I'd urge caution.......See Moreneed help for my kitchen flooring
Comments (9)Hi Heena, have you considered a real wood floor for the kitchen? There's nothing quite like the natural character of the real thing. Wood flooring also has long-term reliability and can add real value to your home. There's no need to worry about the practicality of wood in a kitchen either. As long as any spills are cleaned up quickly, wood is perfectly suitable for the environment (:...See MoreI have tiny enclosed kitchen and need help choosing flooring
Comments (12)I’m thinking of practicality. It is amazing how quickly a kitchen floor can look dirty. The patterned tiles above would be good for this. I chose oak boards in a distressed finish for mine, it was this or a light ceramic tile. I’ve never regretted it, the boards never look dirty ( the ceramic bathroom tiles as chosen do however take time to keep clean and show every piece of hair)....See More

7 years agoThere is the option of having a microcement floor. This can be applied over various existing substrates and does not require joints do you would achieve a seamless flowing floor.
It gives the effect of stone or marble depending on the application method. A similar look to polished concrete but with a more practical and cheaper application.
It's extremely durable and resistant to cracking despite not requiring joints. On top of that it's available in more than 30 standard colours.

7 years agohi pamela. We have some large wood-effect porcelain tiles that would look great if you are thinking of using tiles throughout. Three of the colours available are below. We do also have a much lighter, more washed out colour but, again, may not be great with muddy dog paws. They all have a slightly textured surface, so are good for non-slip. The colour variation in the first one is also a great way of adding some character to an otherwise black and white room.
