Use similar flooring for open concept spaces.

I like the wood effect tile. If properly placed it might give the impression of an actual wood floor. Well apart from colour i guess one would have to conisder how easy they are to clean with stains and all. But more importantly how slippery they are when dry, when wet or when there is a little bit of oil on it.

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!

I have a long kitchen one end is a living area with Stanley range cooker on brick wall coffee table and brown leather couch and leather chair , other end has L shaped kitchen grey in colour, with oak dining table and chairs brown leather seating, my problem is what colour tiles should i have in kitchen area, floor has old fashioned 80's style tiles cream with brown diamond shape in each 4 tiles.
