Add pizzazz to plain

Be playful
Dark green is a bold colour choice for a kitchen, and can create different moods depending on what it’s teamed with.
Mix it with warm metallic surfaces and a hint of marble for an elegant, luxurious look, or jazz it up with a patterned floor, as the designers have done here.

Get creative
Don’t fancy the same pattern all over your kitchen floor? Think outside the box and combine an elaborate design with plain tiles. Here, the designers have created a beautiful walkway between the units with a geometric pattern and some plain white hexagonal tiles.

Zone out
Patterned floor tiles can be useful in an open-plan space, as they can help to create separate areas. Take this living space, for example – the kitchen is located in its own corner of the large, open room.
To zone off the area and ground the furniture in the space, the designers have covered the floor with a pretty design that contrasts nicely with the wood.

This modern-rustic kitchen has cosy written all over it, thanks in part to the abundance of wood. However, it’s the floor that makes the room. The pretty pattern lifts the black and timber surfaces, adding a layer of charm to the industrial style elsewhere.
