What flooring to chose

Just had my kitchen done with oak worktop and cashmere/pebble units I’m struggling with flooring. We’re painting the walls white we think but any ideas would be brilliant

Slate?

Ours is a whole mixture of greys and greens - I can't take the credit - the floor was in when we moved in and no reason to change it.

How about wood effect porcelain? It is tough and easy to maintain. Porcelain also comes in many stone effects too, and it’s very hard to distinguish from the real thing. LVT is another popular choice. Here’s a few examples, and I love the patterned one!

You should have a professional installer in your area take a look at your home so you can discuss what end result you are wanting. You may need to use an engineered wood. This is still an all wood product and is much more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This is a huge advantage if you are in an older home or in the midwest where humidity levels can drastically change from season to season. A solid wood will cup or curl if humidity and moisture levels are not managed. Your installer should do a moisture test before installation to make sure the installation does not fail. All warranties will be voided if this step is not taken. Also, your transitions will need to be considered. Is the new wood floor going to butt up to tile, carpet, or vinyl? The height difference in the two products will need to be taken into consideration. You will have a greater selection of thicknesses in the engineered woods. Engineered wood should be several plys, all wood. If you choose a solid wood, the hand scraped versions are fantastic for a high traffic area with children. Hickory, Red Oak, most Brazilian Species, and even Bamboo are hard enough to take everyday traffic and still look terrific. Good luck!

I would choose a wide plank, hand hewn product. Many manufacturers out there to choose from. It will hold up much better and should achieve your design your looking for. Good luck!

Is the house on a slab or is it raised? Wood throughout is always a gorgeous pop of color since you are leaning toward a light wall color. Here are a couple of examples of light walls with various collections we offer. The flooring comes unfinished so it is a great canvas if you wish to create a custom look!

not sure of your tastes but do you want to add some colour ? If so I'd paint the walls a shade rather than white. Im thinking a mid grey floor would be good in large porcelain tiles.

I’d put a dark colour floor, slate as above looks beautiful or a concrete or dark stone effect tile. For the wall I’d probably tile it, either some decor tiles or an interesting layout of plain tiles (hexagon or herringbone or hexagon) but keeping main colour white.
