Help with kitchen floor please!
6 years ago
Below is pic of my victorian hallway tiles which I’ve almost finished restoring. Second photo is leading into the kitchen which is being replaced with whitish cabinets and wooden worktops. As you can see there are red quarry tiles leading into kithen, downstairs loo and under the vinyl in the kitchen. They are not in fantastic condition (some carpet gripper holes) and under screed in the kitchen. It’s so difficult to match tiles to the existing hallway which I want to keep - my question is should I try to restore the red quarries or what else could I
lay? Btw the dining room which also leads off from the kitchen has the original floorboards. Any suggestions would be a massive help! Thank you

Help with kitchen floor, Please
Comments (7)Sounds like everyone that answered my question on how smooth my floor needed to be before installing hardwood had the same answer - SMOOTH!! So, I will go to Home Depot and rent a machine to get it smooth and just let the dust fly!! I certainly don't want to go through all the work of removing tile and buying and installing hardwood to not prepare the floor properly and cause the seams to come apart. Thank you....See MorePlease help me choose my kitchen flooring.
Comments (16)So, an update: Our highly competent and trustworthy handyman strongly recommended, given cost and durability considerations, that we go with laminate instead of porcelain tile. (The porcelain would cost about 4 times more to install, and budget is definitely a consideration for us.) We found one that is a stone look rather than a woodgrain look. It's not Tarsus Gray, but it's pretty and will do quite nicely, methinks -- a definite improvement from the current flooring. Below left is the picture of what we're going with; the second picture is the Tarsus Gray for comparison; the third is the current flooring....See MoreI goofed on kitchen flooring...help please!

Comments (5)I love your kitchen! The counters, the arches! You can’t go wrong with a neutral tile. Example: https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/elitetile-relic-11-x-13-porcelain-field-tile-eml4119.html?piid= But I think something with more of a pattern and more colorful would look amazing, too. So vintage, cheery, and stylish — https://www.flooranddecor.com/porcelain-tile/mercado-blue-porcelain-tile-100782739.html?externalVisit=true&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI--H0pavo8AIV5WxvBB29mgBLEAQYCyABEgKM1_D_BwE https://www.flooranddecor.com/visualizer-select#/show/ugcroom/Floor/product/tile https://www.flooranddecor.com/porcelain-tile/bayona-deco-ii-matte-porcelain-tile-100698893.html Have fun with it! :)...See MoreRelated Professionals

6 years agoKnowing you are doing white cabinets and wood counters I’d suggest a black hexagon tile floor (this is a close inspiration pic). Match the grout to the black - ideally match the scale of the hall tile but it wouldn’t be bad to go smaller if you have to. Good job restoring that hall tile!
