Which colour?? opportunity to change floor tiles

3 years ago

Long story, but the floating floor tiles in our kitchen extension are being replaced after a month. (It floats like the Titanic)

We are having porcelain tiles - so an opportunity now double check colour.

Slate grey units, galaxy star tops (black with bronze flecks) bronze glass tiles splash backs ......
so floor
Dark or Pearl???

It’s a large space - 40m sq.

direction Pearl

Direction Dark

Sort by:Oldest

I avoid more grey tones and go for a wood effect to add warmth. Something like this -

Thank you Patricia. I just got back from tile store and saw this display which i think is beautiful - it's an italian marble so there will be inconsistencies which I think is actually what I love about it. I would imagine a cream colour kitchen but possibly with a light grey island, or would it be better to stay all the same?

Floorboards which direction?

You should lay them the best way for that particular room so if its narrow go width-ways, if its wide go length-ways. It is very common to have differing ways in the same home. Our Victorian house has original floorboards to the entire ground floor and the hallway boards swap directions when you get to the side return. Joists are usually laid to get the shortest span to avoid sag and thus the floorboards on top counter this so houses often have both directions.

Two points- firstly the lighter colour often sits better on the eye level cabinets with a darker colour for the base units and tall units. Secondly I love the colours you have chosen- just make sure they are the same grey as the tiles- as these colours are grey/brown they could make other greys look blue.

Choosing floor tile!

I am back again. I decided against the tile originally proposed as the advice here was totally right, the tile had a strong pink/salmon tone. Thanks so much to everyone. I have been searching again and attached is what I am now thinking of going for. I think this tile is very neutral, should match a lot of colours, is warm and easy to keep. It should also match a modern kitchen. Opinions please!!!

The only way you can be sure of which colour will work with your cabinets, is to see the actual tiles in the space. So if you can, get samples out and lay them on your floor against the cabinets. If you have to choose between those two, I'd go for the dark one, but that is just because I think that light grey is such a cold colour and it's hard to say if it works with your cabinet colour. The dark tiles will make the space darker though.

If you can go for another option, I think Jules' idea of going for a wood look tile is better.

Thanks. Had samples and units goes with both options.

We had a wooden floor before - don’t want to install another one as not a fan of the look.

You can get wood look tiles, we have lvt as we know we'd ruin real wood.

I would avoid grey. It will look cold and too much of one colour in the room. A travertine stone effect porcelain tile in a natural shade would look good

too much grey..... and all the greys are from different families and have different undertones.
i would go for wood effect floor.... or even a wooden floor

I have star galaxy granite and a slate floor. Our extension is coming up to 14 years old and I regret it almost daily - it’s sooo dark and draining!!!! (It also cost a bomb, is bomb-proof, and is still perfect - so I can’t justify binning something that isn’t broken!). In my dream kitchen, I would have a wooden floor or large pale flagstones.

Lovely space.

Agree with avoiding cold tones. Either warm wood tones or maybe a warm coloured limestone?
