Kitchen and dining room flooring match
Hi,
I have quite a hard time choosing a flooring type/ color (prefer natural stone but can also settle for porcelain tile) for my kitchen. I am planning to tear up a wall and create a completely open floor plan with island. I will have a white shaker style cabinets with light grey island and built in stainless steel oven with built in induction cook top over it. Current flooring in the dining and living room is natural oak and i DON'T want to put the same flooring type in the kitchen. I have attached 2 pictures of the my oak hardwood the inside room view and under natural light right next to the window. The new open floor plan would let much more light because that wall is going to be gone and i am adding one more window to the dining area. What would you think my best bet is?

6 years agoHere's an idea of what is going to look like. White shaker style on the perimeter and light grey island. Instead of stove will be built in cook top and oven. Almost white quartz counter top

Comments (3)I am not crazy about tile. It's hard on the feet and legs. I also don't like cleaning the grout although you can make the grout line very small and dark so that would make it easier to clean. I do love wood. I just think it feels nice underfoot, and I think it gives a warmer overall look. Wood is pretty easy to keep clean. I just use a damp dry mop on mine. My dogs are big and have scratched my wood floors, but it doesn't bother me. One day I will have them resanded and stained....See MoreHelp in Dining room to match ikea kitchen
Comments (6)nosoccermom, thank you so much! I do not NEED a book case, just figured that this is nice for me to display my dishes and cute pots as I have many. The floating shelves and the cabinet looks very nice and modern, I have to really think about it. Errant_gw, thank you so much! What I really want is, first of all, look modern and simple. Secondly, differentiate dinning room from the kitchen as the two is right next to each other and I don't have much space in the dining room. :)...See MoreWhich color dining table and bar stools match this kitchen and floor?

Comments (9)The wood tones look good with crisp white (more on the blue side). Gold/orange likes to sit next to white, either crisp or cream (yellow based). But it does NOT like to sit next to gray. It takes a VERY special designer (ahem...the one that none of us can afford) to get golden wood to work with muddy grays. I would go WHITER with the floors than what you are showing. Your cabinet choice is showing BLUE-gray. That's fine. One of the PRETTIEST floors you can put next to 'wood tones' = blue slate! I kid you not. As you've noticed you can go DARK blue or you can go WHITE-blue. Notice the 'blue' in both? Yep. Cause blue helps 'set up' the gold tones and the gold tones help set up the blue tones. They make each other pop. I would stay away from the gray and stick with white or super dark blue....See Moremidcenturymodernlove
